Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[VD]

I'm in love actually. Haha. Just curious about the English stallion.

I like the jubilee speed, but the price isn't that jubilee

U-lock is too heavy. Shouldn't have bought.

not u lock, it is a folding lock Ecolution 6000 , anyway, I think it was a crazy idea. Never in the thousands KM did I ever needed a lock. All those 'what ifs' from my cycling kaki was a more kiasu mentality then a real need for it. Plus I could always fold up my bike and bring it into the cubicle if really need be.

And can install front derailleur and double chainring? Need any fd adaptor?

My ulac folding lock is 700g, not 1kg. I might sell it and get a 400g or 500g alarm cable lock.

Actually I don't know what are the differences or how many different models there are.

The only question I can answer is. Front derailleur double chainring is possible. It's as customizable as it gets already. There are people with hydraulic disc brakes..

for me, roadie is less xiong than foldie. after ride roadie, still dun feel shag, foldie will feel more shag for the same distance. max distance is about 80-90km i think.

Tyrell by Simon Sng, on Flickr



yes, two tyrell fx

By the way, ur ue boom is mounted on the bottle cage holder which in turn is strapped onto the stem/handlebar??

What brand is the holder?

Edit: Might have found it..Topeak Cage Mount with a Modula Cage?

spin wise I think its about the same due to gearing. the main difference I think is due to the rolling resistance vs bigger wheels. bigger wheels roll over things more easily. I can let my roadie roll while my foldie friends are still pedalling.
