Hi Andrew, interested to see what your Flying Pigeon is like, surely for that kind of money you can't expect much 😀 Look forward to the unboxing and first ride Andrew 👍
I’m very glad to see your longer videos! The news that the upload time has been reduced to 15 minutes is fantastic. As for bicycles, I’d like to share some personal experience. When I need to take my full-sized MERIDA mountain bike on a plane, I usually ride it to the bike shop a few days before my departure for a full clean and maintenance. The staff then packs it into a cardboard box designed for bikes. I also make sure to pack a small toolkit and a large spanner inside, so I can easily assemble the bike once I land. The toolkit contains all the necessary hex wrenches, spare inner tubes, patches, and glue - it’s compact but complete. Oh, and don’t forget to pack the helmet as well. Essentially, all you need to do is remove the pedals, saddle, and front wheel. The latter two can be quickly detached with a manual quick-release system and are easy to reattach by hand. Once packed, the bike can be placed in the boot or back seat of a taxi, and you can check it in at the airport. When using a DAHON folding bike, I only ride it within my city or to nearby places. It’s very convenient - once folded, I can pack it into a bag and carry it on the subway or bus. However, long-distance rides on a folding bike can be quite tiring, and personally, I prefer a full-sized bike.
@@NottinghamshireMadness Wow! You’re a seasoned cyclist with years of experience! When travelling, I usually apply some wet lubricant to the chain, then wear cotton gloves to grip the chain and remove any excess. I also have a habit of removing one link from a new chain, which makes shifting and pedalling feel more responsive. I’m still missing a touring bike, haha!

Thank you for sharing your experience. In a side note when travelling can you tell me what chain maintenance regime you use?

I find travelling with chain lube in my luggage very daunting, it always finds its way out of the container normally on to something expensive
