My new MADE IN CHINA Dahon Speed is ready it is not lighter than the Eco C7 frame.

I wish your friend a speedy recovery!!

My new MADE IN CHINA Dahon Speed is ready after transferring all the components from the Dahon Eco C7. It is a good ride. Although Made In China, it seems to have been broken-in, as all the joints have no creaking sound, very silent. I think Sew Leong must have changed the tires and rode around Dengkil to break in the bike.  Suprisingly, it is not lighter than the Eco C7 frame. Now to fix back all the new parts onto the old frame..............sigh! Anyone interested? This I am sure is really broken-in already as I have rode it in Fraser's Hill, Genting Peras, Bukit Hantu, Karak, Kuala Gandah, Sekinchan etc. etc.

nice! 

did u weight the frame only? or with the fork??
what is the weight?

There must be a reason for this set up!

Yesterday was riding with my friend on tarmac slightly downhill. I am in front and suddenly my fren crashed on head. How it happen according to him he duno why do sudden brake and it flip. (LGS bike).
Had a head trauma, broken teeth, crack finger and and blood from face etc. Blackout for a few seconds.
When I bring him to Clinic, he keep on asking me repeated question such as what day is today, are we riding together, and he cant remember anything except being in the office. (short term memory loss/lapse)
Then after cleaning injury, clinic suggest to go hospital. Go Columbia Asia Bandar Puteri, check by emergency dept (9pm) and ask me to go Sunway Medical as they doesn't have neuro-surgent there. When otw to CA, he finally started to gain back his memory. I thought he is back to norm but nope, it doesn't. Now he keep on repeating what he had jes said over and over again.
Reached Sunway, x-ray arm and found crack on finger and need plastering. X-Ray on head and lucky no problem after being checked by Neuro-surgent. Jes something like head trauma where patient suffer short term memory lost and will be back to normal after a few hours. What he did in short time, he couldn't remember. Admitted for a day for observation.
Later will go visit him again.. Freak me out. Now wan to cycle also takut takut a bit liau..

All these got to do with rider experience and bike's front brakes.

1. always wear helmet no matter what
2. buckle your helmet tightly. Wearing them without fasten properly = no helmet protection also
3. ask your bike mechanic to reduce the tightness of front brakes (especially folding bikes 20" with disc brakes)
4. train at grass area with emergency brakes, get used to how your bike behave under emergency brakes
5. reduce protruding items on your handle bar (when u slam your brakes, your face will hit handle bar first)
For newbies going downhill and not familiar with the route. Follow all the rules above.

- Then lower your seat a little and bend down while riding to lower the CG (centre of gravity)
- do not go panic and slam front brakes.
- do not try to catch up with experienced riders while going downhill

The old bike with partially new parts from Speed P8.

Lastly, if u have no confidence over steep DH, comedown and push.

Master Etigge, isn't this the awesome chicken rice you bought just like 2 days ago? So fast already offering up for sale? sayang ohhhhh...it looks damn nice btw. what not wit the Shimano LX Deore derailleurs and all 

last year when coming down from Gunung Jerai uncle behind me slammed front brakes and he literally turn into zombie like face.

i was in front of him going 40+ then heard loud bang, then i cycled back to helped him.

He got deep cuts on the forehead and bleeding all over his face.
I picked up pieces of front tooth from the road. Then he was spewing blood from his mouth, whole face all bleeding.
His gang finally came with pick-up truck and sent him to hospital.

Should be a nice morning ride but ended tragically.

let me rephrase that
Slamming front brakes is very dangerous. Slamming front brakes on a downhill, you'll guarantee to miss your face without scars

jus curious, for 20" tyre, with normal speed, how long it takes to finish 1km ride? 3min?

i think u need to rephrase? your question.... 

Exactly what happen to my fren. Slammed front brake over 25kph DH.
I did 55kph during my DH last Saturday and come to think of it, damn scary now. 

sorry.. i type as how i talk.. lol

Question : How long does it take to ride 1 km distance with 20'' tyre size?

I jus took 20km/hr  (from somewhere) and calculated it is 3min for each km.. lol..
