On the flats, bike weight does not affect speed as much as aerodynamics and your cadence relative to your gear. If you are spinning out (excessive cadence above 90 rpm) at the highest gear, then the issue lies with your gear range. Otherwise, it's just aerodynamic drag. According to statistics published online (can try googling it), your speed is quite normal. I can't hit 25km/h on my bike unless I go super hard, which is unsustainable.im riding a cheapo decathlon 7sp road bike mounted with a 5kg child seat.
my avg speed on a clear straight pcn is only around 20kmph and im fairly fit.
whats the biggest issue - 7sp or parasitic weight?

At around 15km/h, aerodynamic drag starts to become the biggest force acting against your bike. You can go for a more aerodynamic set up/position but the increase in speed may not be that much. Source:

Anyone can recommend a mountain bike below $1K ?
Currently shortlisted Polygon Xrada 6 and Giant Talon 1. (not sure which one is better)
Usage on PCN and occasional rides at our nature reserves (recreational)
wah you pro lor. I would be lucky if I can even reach 11km/hrim riding a cheapo decathlon 7sp road bike mounted with a 5kg child seat.

Thanks for this! You tried it before? Is their service good?https://www.builtwheels.cc/
They specialize in wheels.
To be honest, never try.Thanks for this! You tried it before? Is their service good?
To be honest, never try.
Wanted to, but because I asked them whether got make bikes in queue, they replied yes, so never. Cos I don't really like waiting for more than a day.
But since I tell you they have a queue of bikes, shows that their services so reliable that many are willing to wait lor.
roadbike quite easy to hit 20kmph. but the common speed i see in strava is 28kmph. dunno how they do itwah you pro lor. I would be lucky if I can even reach 11km/hr
The higher speed could either be due to group ride (drafting each other)
According to thisHi everyone,
I need help on this issue. I got a Decathlon Riverside 100. Felt that the stock wheel is slim. thinking to upgrade to those mountain bike tyres. It it possible?
Thanks a lot in advance.
I use a 5-numbers type. Should be same as any other bikes.What kind of lock should one get for a foldable bike?
