thanks Fred for sharing tips on setting up the bike for a comfortable ride. i will apply your technics both in my bi-fold and also hybrid bicycle too. cos i'm more into comfort position to ensure comfort for longer rides. looking forward to more good stuff from you.... :)
Excellent video Fred. I have been curious to see if simple bike fits on normal road bikes, work for Bromptons and 3Sixty's. It appears that you've answered that question. I will attempt to adjust my Brompton for a more comfortable ride position now that our good weather riding season is coming to an end. Unlike you, I'm the opposite as a shorter rider, but the specifications will be helpful nonetheless. Thanks for your insight.
Appreciate the kind words Harry, and hope it turns out well for you. Envy the good weather over there you're having now albeit coming to an end, it's about to get rainy pretty frequently over here too! Enjoy your rides and stay safe. ;)
@@fredphua Question: Is your mini rack a standard OEM part for the 3Sixty, or did you order it as an after market item? If so, what brand is it and do you like it? Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much Fred 🙏🏻😊 I google and saw there are 2 different heights for the higher M-bar. May I know is it the H140 or H170 that will fit well without the handle bar touching the ground when folded (for 3Sixty)?
Thank you Alfred and hope it helped. I think mine is a H170 version and it didn't hit the ground. That said, I think another factor to consider would be the riding position you'd like to adopt in relation to your body geometry so taller may not necessarily be what you need. Anyway, either way, you'll be in the best position to make the call on what suits you. Enjoy hunting! 😉
Hey Prashant, yes I recall promising this to a few including yourself. I must say I'd be up there in ranks if there is a world competition in procrastination. 🤣 By the way, I've gotten this off another user on carousell, so not from any online store. But a search on "Joseph Kuosac Telescopic Seat post" or any Telescopic seat post might land you somewhere?
Not sure why all Pike and 360 are with the stem bent so much forward which makes riding very uncomfortable. Should be less forward but with M or S bar to suit individual preference.
Thank you so much Kalam. Yes I'm ard 183cm, so we are similar in height. Certainly hope this video did help you solve some of the pains I was experiencing. 😁👍
Thanks for the video. I am in some discomfort after raising the seat height. Could you advise on where you got the m-bar from? It’s looks nice and clean. what is the raise height? I use a stock s-bar and concerned the m-bar would hit the floor. Many thanks
Thank you for your comment. I got it from Aliexpress, I can't recall the exact link. Raise height was discussed in the vid. That said, there are a few heights available in the market so you should be able to find something that suits your height and not hit the floor. Happy shopping!
Hey Kuromi, I've just checked back on my orders and realize it's no longer available. Sharing for ref though: www.aliexpress.com/item/4001124796110.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.dcd44c4d9x9xie
Hi Fred, I got a 3Sixty recently. On the first ride I experienced some knee pain, so I raised the saddle height to slightly lower than that calculated using the Lemond method. Now I find I'm leaning too much of my weight into my arms and my arms are locked, giving me sore arms, upper back and palms. My neck is also sore from having to look forward/up. Should I tilt the handlebar towards me by a bit, or bring the saddle forward, or lower/raise the saddle height? Anything else I can do without buying new parts? ;p Cheers.
Hey there, thank you for your comments. Looks like you are in the 2nd scenario i experienced in the video where I raised the saddle height but didn't change the bar. I wouldn't move the seats forward to compensate for the reach, this saddle fore/aft position is determined using the knees as a gauge. I will probably play with the handlebar tilt to the extent that it doesn't affect the fold. But that's just me... maybe the professionals have other suggestions. haha hope it helps. 😉👍
Hey KW, I got the telescopic seat post on carousell. Might want to search up the net to see if other sellers have it? As for the 2nd section if the seatpost, you can really use any other brands. Hope this helps!
@@KWs5329 hey KW, apologies. I have no insights to that. The one I got was about 80+? But it also depends on condition, maybe the current seller is selling something in a better condition thus the price. Cheers.
