X-tool is quite a decent brand, I have been using some of their tools for my DIY projects (I do have mixture of Park tools and X-tools). Some of the park tools are way over priced.

i bought a set of torx allen key set cheap cheap in sg. broke on my 5th use lol

Anyone tried matching tyres of different widths?
Say a wider front tyre than the rear one or vice versa?
How was it like? More comfortable ride?

no difference i feel

2 foldable bike in a taxi boot

Hi,

Can 2 foldable bike (maybe 20" type) fix into a taxi car boot, anyone try before ?

Thank you.

You can always raise the handlebar to make it less aggressive, but then I never had any issues on long rides with the stock dimensions. I wouldn't term the Tyrell as less comfortable but more as a roadie without suspension, like in the case of the Birdy, Brompton... why don't you find suspension in roadies? suspension not only absorb shock but to an extend some of the effort you put into the drive train. If you try accelerating on a Tyrell, you will understand why.. same goes to the Alex Moulton as well. Mini velo should also give you that fast acceleration as well

Your tyrell is flat handlebar or drop-bar?

I bought a set of cheapo allen key set from those "rojak" shop that sells everything.

My allen key gets rounded head after using it to loosen and tighten my brompton saddle bolt 3 times nia.

Which type of 20" bike?

Those that fold in the middle?

Nope... definitely cannot.

If its SUV, then yes but will be tricky.

This is why I will most likely stick with Park Tools. Really got no time nor money to waste on stuff that will break on me. Especially important when you're on the road somewhere.

Not RC people, Jay Bee. Just a few cycling enthusiast meeting up once a week for a ride.

I just use sony Bluetooth earphones sbh70. It is not like earplug type so can hear traffic. My concern with portable speaker is the weight and everytime have to dismount it when parking my bicycle. Besides, i have 3 bicycles and is troublesome to keep swooping
