Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 6

Likely the case. It’s quite a hassle to do tyre chec

bring your bic to a shop, make sure the mechanic does the checks and pump the tires to the correct psi. just open your wallet and pay can liao. if rim tape is bad, change it. if the rim got sharp nicks, just file it off.

Hi fellow experts. I have a budget of 1k. Can recommend some foldie for me?

I intend to do pcn riding with my friends. I want to be able to go as fast as I can. I don't mind if it's bifold or trifold.

The gear must be adjustable for me to go up slope and can adjust to tight tight for straight road. (sorry I not sure if this is a right request cause I last time only rent bike from ecp to ride). So I'm not sure if 3sixty 6 speed is same as crius velocity 10 speed in terms of gear ratio?

I got friend tell me must change aerowheels. Not sure if thats important.

I also don't mind looking at second hand at carousel.

Gum xia gum xia.. Buy bike like more difficult than buy car...

while it can b common, getting it broken after only 20 times is a litle too absurd. are we also saying that foldies have this common problem or is it common for all bikes or because my kid sat behind so it damaged it?

My foldies rear tyre recently kept getting punctured also for some reason

Already change the inner tube twice liao in the space of the 2 weeks, still trying to find the source of the issue

Checked the tyre but can't seem to find any foreign object that cause the puncture

Hello guys, I'm looking for a foldie for exercise and some commuting. I'm 189cm tall and 114kg.

After going thru some seller websites, I saw this Hito X Litepro Classic Dolphin 9speed
https://www.passiongadgets.com/hito...tter-tern-crius-fnhon-trinx-java-dahon-kosda/

This seem more wallet friendly for someone my size.

But I can't seem to find any reviews on this model, mostly are either x4 or x6 hito. Anybody have an idea about this bike?

Hello,

I am looking to get a budget foldable bike and was wondering if there is any real difference between those less than $200 and those more expensive ones about $300 plus ?

I am just using it for leisure riding.

I am looking at the 2 following models:

https://shopee.sg/🎉🎉🎉Free-Delivery-...1?sp_atk=a6daa18d-f15e-4bda-92c5-f19de66e36df

I am really a noob at this and really appreciate all good advise.

Preferred budget less than $350.

Thank you in advance.

try reducing the tires air pressure. i also find mine slippery but after i lowered the air pressure, it feels acceptable now. just make sure it is still within the tire's acceptable pressure range.

i use a manual pump. alamak. sigh.

separately i had a bad experience with my foldie bike. put a 23kg kid behind n i suspect it caused the burst of the inner tube. so i dunno if really shld pump too low.

in any case, since i pump manual, i think it shouldnt b too high ba, so it shouldnt cause any more slip. i will monitor this issue.

but really, got lobang to get thicker tyre n front sear?

$500 look for Scott/Merida/Giant hardtails? i know Scott usually have end year warehouse sales sometimes so that could be a route if they have heavy discounts to clear older models ^^
