Problem with joining fast group rides is sometimes cannot keep up then lag behind so far that they got to wait. Will feel bad.

When I started cycling, I joined my friends and they are seasoned riders.

So there was once we went Neo Tiew at midnight. They just zoomed off while I was struggling hard against the rough potholes and slopes alone. Not exactly nice.

Try Vaseline as a cheap alternative to chamois cream?

I'd probably lean more towards 29" since it'll roll over stuff more easily...

The Brompton O.L.D is 119mm. So I am looking at SRF5w IGH and build a good wheel.

Other IGH will require widening of the rear triangle.

How Long is ur distance before it hurts? If it's 30 Km , u have not ride enough. Over 50 km no matter how often u ride , butt will hurt. So if ur frequent 50km- 100km rider , get a padded tight at big box Jurong east or many moderm bicycle also have them.

If ur distance is over 120km, with padded tight will hurts as well u will need to add baby pampers
