Seriously you think it is the best and can be equivalent to a reasonably priced road bike? I was told another brand is better but then it is always the brand fan that say so. 😆

Best folding bike. It is ez to fold with the smallest size.

You can’t compare it to road bike.

Wheel size matters.

I think it is the best. I travelled with Brompton.

Took a tumble yesterday evening while test riding the new foldie and without my helmet!😁

I was riding along a footpath heading towards Jurong Central Park. A slight slope ahead which I thought I could navigate but I went too near the edge of the footpath,I panicked and instinctively pressed both brakes a bit too hard. Stopped in time but the momentum made me swung to my right and took a tumble in slow motion (why ahh?😂) and landed on the grass patch.  Got up sheepishly, brushed off the dirt, checked the foldie but lucky no scratches or any visible damage.

Disc brakes very chiak compared to V-brakes.

WLWLWLBBQL .... 😂

Mechanical disc brake has on and off only. Unlike rim brake.

It is very effective in low speed.

It's not about the brakes...it's worth the tumble if that "slight slope" was very chio...😁

There are something i don't want to do because need specialist tools.

what specifically do u need done? 

for basic stuff, it's usually more cost and time efficient to DIY. i know of a couple of shops in Tampines but one is banned while i have yet to go to the other one but it has decent reviews. Also, sometimes these basic shops don't like to work on bikes they didn't sell. They'll just rip off walk-ins.

regular service as in cleaning, adjustment, tuning and oiling i guess

cleaning & lube is not difficult albeit a PITA but it needs to be done quite frequently so i would DIY. Can't afford sending it in every month or so.

adjustment/tuning of brakes and gear shifter needs a bit of skill but worth trying to DIY. Got many tutorials on youtube for that. 

still, it's worth finding a trusted bike mechanic nearby. I tried to find one near my place. Went to a few but all let me down. So i started to force myself to DIY. For more major stuff, i send my (non-foldie) bike to AD which is a PITA, because gotta stuff it in the car and drive 30min one way.

you can also search for home based guys in carousell. Look for those with many positive user reviews.

This morning no rain happy like bird go cycling.. headed towards Selatar aerospace..

From sengkang/pungol after passed the S11 dormitory, saw a lorry on the opposite side not very zai.. next moment a BANG.. he crashed the center divider.. I went over to him.. "AhBang.. u ok?" he came out and said ok ok.. so i left..

within the next 100 meter or so.. i saw a pack of dogs.. abt 5 of them.. NB.. my balls almost drop.. so i reduced my speed.. next moment.. "Clank" "Clank" "Clank" sound.. i jammed brake.. looked at my rear wheel.. KNN a wire (those meant for construction) abt 80 cm long got caught in my wheel and cassette.. dismount and removed the wire.. and by now the dogs left! whahahahahah..

I think i got pray.. 2 incident boh tai chi.. the lorry could veer towards me.. if the dogs not there and at my unusual speed the wire could cause me to fall badly..

Now cycling also need to warm up by praying! 

I must remember to pray before riding my indoor exercise bike in case got electric shocks!
