Just like everything else, the bicycle has to fit the rider’s anatomy. If we ride without adjusting the bicycle to our needs, it could result in knee pain, which is a common issue with riders.
The 4 most common causes of knee pains are due to improper saddle height or position, have a crank that is too long for the rider, rider pushing excessively high gears, or poor foot alignment.
Here are a few things you can try out before heading to the doctor’s.
If the pain is in the front of the knee (Anterior Pain):
Pushing too high gears -> Lower gear, and increase cadence
Saddle too low or far forward -> Raise seat or move seat back
Foot too far forward on the pedal -> Move foot back to have toes in line with the pedal
Crank arms too long -> Shorten crank arms by 2.5 cm
If the pain is in the back of the knee (Posterior Pain):
Saddle too high or far back -> Lower seat, or move seat forward
Too much pedal float -> Limit float to 6 – 8 degrees
If the pain is in the inner side of the knee (Medial Pain):
Incorrect foot position on pedal (toes pointed out) -> Narrow foot position by adjusting foot parallel to bicycle
Too little pedal float -> Limit float to 6 – 8 degrees
If the pain is in the outer side of the knee (Lateral Pain):
Incorrect foot position on pedal (toes pointed in) -> Widen foot position by adjusting foot parallel to bicycle
Too little pedal float -> Limit float to 6 – 8 degrees
If all else fails, you might just need supplements to aid you. Consider Jointplex Pro. We sell them and many experience its efficacy.

wet with sweat. It is also important to clean the inner lining of your helmet regularly and to ensure that there is no fungal growth on the inner soft layer. Store your helmet in a hygienic and airy place so that it can easily get dried up and is not smelly. We recommend you shower with your helmet after each ride. No, you do not need to wear it but shampoo the straps and inner lining ( BUT we won’t stop you LoL)
grocery store. The 4-foot-9-inch-long bike folds down to take up just 2′ by 2′, so it’s easily rolled into a subway car or an elevator. A clever front suspension system dubbed “Swing” allows the front of the tricycle to tilt like a regular bike, providing stability even on slopes. Front disc brakes keep everything under control. The inventor, Norbert Peytour, says that cycling is a form of care-free travel, with no fuel levels to watch, little to no maintenance, no engine that can fail. He rejects “advances” like the electric bike, which add complexity (and fuel consumption) to the mix.
MacRhodes put their heads together to come up with the perfect versatile bike for a Safe Routes to School class leader, the Bike Friday Haul-a-Day was born.The Haul-a-Day quickly earned a reputation as a great Family Bike as word spread quickly through Social Media by mothers and fathers that the Haul-a-Day delivered a great ride.

We have almost all the marques from all over the world- Japan, UK, USA and Taiwan. So when it comes to folding bikes, we get customers who appreciate their top end bikes like they enjoy their fine dining, exquisite cars and their finer things in life. Like cars, the exquisite bicycle brands have models with very much similarity.
Royce. The Moulton Bicycle is the original full-suspension, separable, small- wheeled, high-performance bicycle, world-renowned for speed, efficiency, durability and comfort.
the “kinked” bottom section of the spaceframe. This is a dead giveaway that you are looking at a top end Moulton, with the enhanced performance and comfort characteristics. The TSRs are truly awesome to ride, thanks to the late Dr Alex Moulton’s pioneering work on suspension design for small wheels. Moulton have taken everything they learnt in engineering design and conceived the SST. Although no “kinked” spaceframe, Moulton wanted to improve on the TSR series, and have introduced a whole host of engineering innovations – the SST is the result and costs less than S$6000.
Next came the American revolution and putting the first man on the moon.
pse X22 is designed to be the fastest folding bike in the world. With hand-built 26” wheels and race-tuned geometry, it’s a full sized road bike, but it folds down small in 10 seconds. It boasts an Ultegra drivetrain, and—just in time for the UCI’s new regulations—a set of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. With a stealth black finish, hydroformed fork, red Syntace accents, and perfected engineering, the X22 inaugurates a new chapter in Tern design. It sells for S$3,800. The Eclipse P20 is the more affordable cousin at S$2300.
at S$3,999. With a transmission range that spans a very wide range, you do away the dual chainring requirement.
while still capable of serving as your everyday commuter. Our latest update is the ability to make it into an E-Bike which makes it easier to get the miles in while still staying true to the soul of cycling. This is the original folding Bike Friday design, since 1992, it’s been improved over the years of experience and the best multi-use Bike Friday!
This blog is really about Steel ball bearings versus Ceramic ball bearings. Enough has written about this subject but I thought I put together the topics the guys are pre-occupied with. But for those who already burn their wallets swapping out all their existing ball bearings to ceramic based ones – the answer is Yes.
on the other hand change size significantly less then steel with a given shift in temperature, thus raceways, rings and seals from a typical bearing can be made to much greater tolerances. They can even be fabricated with a smoother finish so vibration goes down and stability goes up.
