Finally the Dahon Vigor P9 is ready.  rclxms.gif   rclxms.gif  It is now more of a Vector P20 http://issuu.com/iberobike/docs/cat__logo_...64409%2F5819898  (check Dahon's 2014 catalogue here)
I think it's cheaper than getting the Vector P20 even after getting extra components (remnants from the Vigor P9).

I also used the same components as the Vector P20. SRAM X5's rear derailleur, SRAM 10 speed cassette, SRAM chain with power link, SRAM X5 shifter pods and SRAM Apex front derailleur. I also added a 39T  (130mm BCD) chainring onto the existing crank. Added a FD adapter and bopught a RD hanger from Rodalink. I also shorten the handlebar (1 inch from each side) and added a cheapo grips with bar ends. Change all housing and cables to Jagwires. I also enlarge hole for the internal cabling so the FD's cable can go through as well. The modding costs another 1K in addition to the 2K for the Vigor P9. Still cheaper than the Vector P20! rclxms.gif

On top of the moddings, I still have a set of new rims with 9 speed cassette and shifter, the original Dahon brake set (levers and V-brakes), another crank (53T), the Biolagic seatpost pump. Anyone interested, let me know. thumbup.gif

I saw that MU SL there too the other day. It's nice and so is the charcoal colored Vigor P9. I can tell you straight off the mods. Buy the bike for RM2399 less 5% + 5%. That makes you a member of Rodalink automatically. I can get you the SRAM X5 shifters, RD, chain and cassette and also the SRAM Apex FD for RM720. Add in Lite Pro FD adapter - RM95 , RD hanger RM60 , Shimano 39T chainring - RM58, Jagwire housing and cable - RM30. I charge you RM100 for the installation. That's a total of RM1063.00 plus the bike at RM2100 which makes it slightly over 3K. Still 1K cheaper than the Dahon Vector P20 which is priced at RM4199 although after modding it's identical except for the color.

Also bear in mind though, during modding, I have to enlarge the cable housing hole on the body. The Dahon Vector P20 has 3 holes while the Vigor has only 2, so I have to enlarge one hole for 2 cable housing to go through. icon_rolleyes.gif

PS/ forgot about the ride. Honestly, to me the Dahon Speed's geometry still rides the best plus also the chromoly used on that body is more comfortable. The steel absorbs some bumps while the Vector frame is Dalloy and this makes it light! Also the harshness of the bumps can be felt when riding and more so if you use harder slick tires. Seriously, you can feel the rolling over grains of sand on your handlebar which is not felt on the Dahon Speed. Plus point is, the Vigor/Vector frame is light and my bike after changing the seatpost and shorten the handle bars, it is slightly short of 11 kg. This makes climbing much much easier and also faster.

yeehaaa !! finally manage to snap magnet & bolt about 90% (vs initially only 5%) biggrin.gif

[attachmentid=3757079]

few fixes done:
a) prob spot: when the handle bar is aligned (parallel) with riders shoulder, the wheel is little bit senget, means bar vs wheel is not in sharp 90 degree. fixed with re-alignment of handle bar.
b) there's an optimum position for handle post while in fold mode. (digging some official photo from tern website + d/l the user manuals helps to find the optimum position)
c) as mbax suggested [ try adjust the handle when it is fold down ]
Thanks mbax ! it helps.
in fact, the bike is nice
in this case, user in-experiences (my 1st foldie  tongue.gif ) has to take some blame
also the shop that doesn't able to advise me the optimum position during fold mode + handle bar is not fully aligned when setting up the bikes
shop even trying to justify the magnet issue "it's like that one... normally it's only about 10% snap, nothing much can be done....bla bla..."

If I am not mistaken, the front wheelset is 100mm and not 76mm as used by many foldies. It can be used but you have to pull wide the front fork which is not really advisible as many will not get symmetrical widening. As for the rear wheelset, it can be used in all foldies. Advantage of this wheelset is, you can use any mountain bike hubs which are easily available and 32 holes.
