Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[LesterQ]

I have seen a Birdy with upgrades costing a colourplus Birdy. Around 5k.

Not referring to hidden charges. Upgrades are expensive one ma. Haha

I'm riding the capreo version. Personally I cannot drive the highest gear efficiently. So 53t is sufficient for me. Lol.

One thing though, if I'm not wrong. The Max speed for Birdy is roughly 50+-.

yea, its good. I used to think long distance riding means butt pain is inevitable, now I know it's a myth.

You also using the most cushion one? Or the shallow? The reviews all 4.5 stars and above haha

Edit: Let me confirm on the amt for free delivery..Need over $80 pound for free intl delivery

hmmm... I seldom fold. I don't think it will affect the integrity much.

Oh I see. I fold my bike quite often i was thinking is it bad to constantly shift a carbon seatpost up and down.
Anyway, just want to ask. Is there anywhere that sells the kcnc scandium seatpost? Or have to get online?

 

[LesterQ]

Wah so far

Kcnc ewalker got. But unsure if it is scandium one.

You are one damn powerful rider. Can use Capreo

anyone knows where or who can help to build a bike? Will be buying most of the things online, xt groupset and brake, frame, wheelsets, handlebar, stem, seatpole, the rest all buy from shop.

Ask chapter 2 cycle( i stay near the shop), quote me $150 onwards.

$150 quite expensive.

that is reasonable, I was quoted $15-20 for just a RD. You do have to realised, the LBS need to earn a living.

I was quoted by a lbs last time $15 per component they help to change..

 

[lemongonggong]

Is it? I didn't get to actually fit the gp1 and try though. I just felt that the palm rests of the gp1 will be too thick and touch onto the wheel rims and I cannot close fully. Yours still able to fold even with barends?

I using gp2-L on my Dahon. For me, only thing to watch out is the barends.
Depending on the position of the barends, the barends may touch the rims and cannot close fully.

 

[LesterQ]

Alamak. I already say cannot efficiently drive the highest gear.

Talked to ewalker's jeff before. There are people who swap to 20" against his advice. Few months later go back to change back to 18". Hahahaha.

Bike shop charge for installation is okay. But some of them charge and then do a shoddy job.

Where u live?? East side??

Maybe can try to work out meet in town during weekends?

the most cushion one.

 

[LesterQ]

Guys.

Chaun link removable tool. Got difference anot? Not for bringing on rides. For home maintenance use.

Also I have 9 speed. Just buy a 9speed chain right? Then match my stock one. Got chance that it's shorter then my original anot?

Don't want to have a snapchain with no spare chain. Do chains come stock with powerlink?

Understood. Thanks! Do you know around how much it cost?

oh I see. Does your Dahon's stem fold in between the wheels or outwards? It looks like this would make the difference..

 

[LesterQ]

Understood. Thanks! Do you know around how much it cost?

Don't quote me ah. I THINK $180

Let me know how much if you managed to find out exact cost. Haha

 

[rarenick]

Ahh no wonder..ya mine is fold in between the wheels. That's why choices so limited. Folding inwards or outwards can be done by changing the handlebar post?

I will be changing my handle post to longer one which folds outwards. Might consider selling away the stem extender.

Btw can u post a pic of your full bike side profile especially on the chainring side? Thanks

Sure. Tonight I post. If the stem folds outwards then whatever grips shouldn't be an issue
