speed gear look like speed p8.

Just my opinion, OK? I rather go for the Raleigh Ugo between the 2. The Raleigh Ugo looks and feels more stronger.

i never test drive speedgear.. wish i could..

if you are a heavyweight, then can easily test the bike solid or not ...

for rider 50-60kg.... most budget bikes is solid enuff....

thanks for the inputs...by the way, i had a side by side comparison, speedgear looks pretty solid too...

however, speedgear is on discbrake and ugo is on the U brake...

Hmm..i didnt really sit on it yet...havent tried...maybe when i m ready to purchase i will then sit on it and see...ehehhe....

apart from looks n cycle to test,

fold each bike a few times, check the hinge etc, manufacturing quality, to compare..

Noted with thanks....will do so...oh yea...i lifted both bikes...Ugo seems to be heavier too..

thats y etigge said is more solid for him...

could be more metal in the frame.....

it is better to have disc brake..

Let's compare them side by side. I didn't say it's more solid because of the weight (as said by H2D. He's been lurking in the shadows stabbing at everyone ). Look at the design. The Speedgear is actually a choosen frame from mass producing China open market and then shodded with the most profitable components and sold it as a specialized brand here. Just like Pedalsport who imports a frame they choose and then named it Geometric but it is never their own design nor their actual product. The frames are just randomly choosen just to make cost to stay low. Raleigh Ugo, on the other hand is a brand they created and have been promoting. They are an actual bike company!

The components itself says, and the disc brake ( branded Zoom and Xinjiang brake levers are nothing to shout about ). At least Raleigh, although not a premium brand nowadays, it's proven as demonstrated by Adrian. The prove is in the testing though. I feel the Raleigh's frame is worth the extra RM100 paid.

PS/ Also I noticed the Raleigh has a double walled rim as opposed to the single layered one in Speedgear.

good comparison!

btw, i din meant that you said it is more solid bcos of the weight.

u did said it is more solid.

n coconut said it feels heavier.

so i tot the more solid feel 'might' be cos of the more metal? in the frame...
tht is my opinion...

my opinion...

it is not necessary to change from v brakes to disc brakes for a bike like the ugo...
the ori v brake most likely won't fail... only the brake pads will worn out, that is if u cycle a lot for
mebe a year or two..?

ugo fork don't have disc brake mount?
so u need fork that has one.

the chain stay has disc brake mount?
how? wana weld ?

the ori hubs are not disc brake ready?, need to get new hubs or new wheel set....

such major change, better just stick to stock brake for basic leisure and commuting..

coastal brake..

myak9.. any luck in your finding for the SRAM 28H Automatix 2 Speed Coaster Brake Rear.. I'm searching one for my mu uno as well..

Assuming u r talking behind my back ah?
Dun say lah like I am abusing my bike. I cayang my bike beli much u know..
Jes got it to service after 1000km ride last month leh.
All r good except bearing at crank about to kong.
Apart from that, everything still as good as new.
Nowadays, dah slow a bit going offroad. Raining season. Too muddy and slippery for BA.
