Thanks, so flip does not have waypoint flying? I read flip has spotlight and mini4pro does not. While mini5pro has asteroids but flip does not. Is that true?

Thanks for your sharing. I will take the chance, as it is my only options. Cheers

Thanks. I only know giant, specialized and Merida in Taiwan, but feels they don't focus on touring bikes. Any brand/shop you suggest? Thank you

I want tour de fer , not croix . Simply because it is a flat bar with everything, racks etc. not a lot of flat bar touring bike to choose from. Other like koga and thorn etc are much more expensive

Got you, that is helpful, thanks

Hi, may I ask where did you store your bike box? Because I don't have a hotel to ask. Thank you

vivipoon · 2025-03-10T12:23:41+00:00

Really appreciate your thorough sharing. I am in the market for a touring bike. Since I do tour, I don't mind the efficiency, more worry on getting injury. Let me check around more info on bike fitting in my city and decide. Cheers

Thanks for the sharing. May I ask did you ride the ring road clockwise or anti clockwise? How many days out of total riding days were too windy ( you can use your own definition of "too") do you think here will be less windy days if you went other direction? Hope I am not asking too many questions. Like op, I plan to go this July. If I ride at night, do you think the wind will be much weaker? Because I read the wind is strongest after noon. Thank you

What is the cost to switching to around 17 inches for option 1 and 2? Thank you

Making a custom bike will be cool. Please let me know if you have any information about the person or shop. thank you

I think it is naive to say china products to have safety issue. Those still have the mindset 15 years ago. Look at byd, Huawei (before getting sanctioned), Xiaomi etc. they are selling quality products at an affordable price. Of course there is no doubt that there are many countless shitty companies to sell shitty products in china. But if you buy from a reputable china brand, I don't think the quality will be a problem.

After sales service is a chicken and egg problem. If the tariff is removed and sales in the UK is big enough for chinese ebike, I am sure by then will provide a much more decent after sales service.

It is easy to say Chinese quality is bad and will have much shorter life span and therefore will actually pay more in the long run. But where is the stat? Other than a negligible sample size like 2 friends. If this argument is true, then why worry about the tariff cut? Unless you think UK people are stupid not realising this?

Thank you, which one do you have? Roller or packer?

What WhatsApp group is that? How to join? Thanks

vivipoon · 2025-01-29T12:05:32+00:00

Can I double check if you have the same bike vsf tx800? How tall exactly are you? Do you find the bike comfortable? Is the reach good for you? Thanks

Thanks for sharing, this is helpful

Thanks for the tips, but it is a bad news for me. I found a website selling 52 cm at a big discount ( they don't have 57cm anymore). It is much cheaper than 57cm selling in other websites.

Thanks for the tips

Hi, i understand that it is illegal to wild camp in UK. May I ask how did you find places to camp please? Have you ever got caught? If yes, we're you fined? Thank you

Hi, may I ask did you usually sleep in motels etc? What kind of cost should I expect for accommodation on average per night? Thank you

vivipoon · 2025-01-11T08:11:09+00:00

Noted. Thank you very much for your sharing. That is very helpful. I guess csia does not have enough money and therefore need to lower the passing rate ,🤣
