Does chains come with powerlink or is a separate buy?

Only sram comes provided but kmc sells a missing link that will fit

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.

Did he mention why not advisable to swap to 20" wheels?

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

Mine folds in between the wheels.

Actually hor feels around the same, my setup is around the same just that mini velo is slightly more aggro

You tried the difference between a foldie and a mini velo at >30kph?

So ex, considering its a job that requires 5mm Allen key and a screwdriver

suddenly i very gian about this scoop saddle. Need to go find a physical sample to try first before ordering?

edit: is it ok to fit a saddle meant for upright seating (this scoop radius) on a road bike?

I'm using scoop radius on my road bike.

Mine folds in between the wheels.

cos 20" folded cannot roll on the one wheel. only possibility to roll and be able stand on its own is to use schwalbe one tires which is narrow so that it won't rub the frame when folded.

Read below for daily use advice.
But in my case, the advice was due to the capreo groupset. Harder to drive 53t/9t on 18" then 20" wheels , Though if your engine can do it I dont see why you shouldn't do whatever you want to your bike.

Anyone with disc brake knowledge?

Are all disc rotors of same in size?

Meaning are all 6 bolts disc brake interchangeable?
Also about brake pads all should be the same right?

No need fight with road bike. I am happy going at 30-32 kmh.

Agree with you.... as long i'm cycling happy, can liao.

rotors got different sizes. mainly 140mm and 160mm. 160mm more common. if 6 bolts and same diameter can work. but note that shimano ice tech rotors like wont work well with normal calipers.

disc pads different models got different shapes.

Yeah. I'm using the 160mm.

So it's not say 6 bolts mean definitely same diameter?

That is the one i planning to buy. LOL

Would changing brake pads or changing rotors improve anything? Haha.

I'm with the M525/M515 brake pads.

 

[breezy]

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
