I guess I wasn't clear when I said I frequently fold and unfold my bike, which include clamping and unclamping the seatpost so it can be slide up or down. I might not have to worry about the seatpost...

I understand. And in my case, as I explained before, I do a lot of folding and unfolding. Outside lubrication, I pretty much did you do already with the marking and not over clamping, etc. As I said...

I'm not sure how to make people here to understand. Maybe I use my folding bike wrong. When I store my folding bike I intentionally slide down the seatpost, fold the bike, and the handlebar to make...

Yes you did offered a solution. I said, it's not for me. Thank you. It's not that I don't want to try it. I don't want to buy a new seatpost for something that might or might not work for my bike. I...

I honestly can care less what it's called. In the end, I still need to be able to fold/unfold the bike. That means, making the seatpost not to slide while I'm seating on it, and at the same time,...

The seatpost goes up and down when it's folded/opened. I don't see why it's doesn't have to be lubricated constantly.

So, I am probably just going to have to readjust my original seatpost from time to time. Buying a new threaded seatpost and lubricating it constantly doesn't sound like a big improvement.

I looked into this before, but for a different reason. I think this is more of basic physics related with force and friction. I saw your threaded seatpost photos. I think that's what I need.

Lol. I was just looking at this bike. It's steel, but isn't it supposed to be chromoly steel (at least that's the one I saw on Walmart website)? So, it's quite durable. My chromoly bike has a very...

Well, you're pretty much 100% correct. I'm planning to travel to Taiwan from US and circle the island. I'll probably buy the bike somewhere else in Southeast Asia just before landing in Taipei. I...

Downgrading disc brakes?

I'm planning to do a bike tour next year. The bike I'll be using has hydraulic disc brakes. They seem to be quite a chore to fix if they're broken down in the middle of the road. So, I'm thinking to...

Which one has higher weight limit, 16 or 20?

Assuming both bikes were made from the same material (frame, fork, wheels, etc), which one can carry more weight? From googling, I could only find that the 16" tire is stronger because of the shorter...

Breaking at single speed chain quick link.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a recuring issue with my bike chain (single speed). It breaks quite often, but at the quick link (also single speed type). I've wasted 2-3 of them so far. So, I'm trying to...

I was actually thinking about doing no. 2. That's why I asked about the hub width size. I don't see that many options for hub size besides the 120mm. So, I guess, with 5-10mm width difference, I need...

Coaster brake to single speed conversion

I want to convert the coaster brake on my Walmart Huffy cruiser to single speed. There are some instructions on youtube on how to disable the brake mechanism (coaster to freewheel). But I wonder if...
