Trinx was in my watch list before. but as etigge advised, give so much spec for a cheap price, quality is a suspect. so did you bought this? what is your opinion of this foldie?

Continue from last posting... start to ride at 6am when there are more ppl on the road, not much picture thought hp camera cannot tolerate low light...

Some light for the hp camera to capture


Still have fog but not really seen in this picture


Stop for local snacks and breakfast, me being me cannot avoid the temptation of local food.


As usual the place to carry the goods


Map and some stats of the ride.

Nice pics

Anyway if im cycling around my housing area only
Isit a waste of money to get a RM1600 folding bike

I am soooooooooo donno should i or not to get ... but im in love with the design of JAVAFIT

my 2cents..me and wife start as cycling around kampong.. now i cycling around town, she got to stop for a whlie.. but you got to ask yourself whether you will be in this hobby for how long.. anyway if you get the java, and after a while you get bored with this hobby you still can let it go in BBS.

mbax nice trip!
hopefully nex month i can aply some leave n go litle bit touring too

my helmet is white bern g2
i bought it cuz of its look n at dat time kinda hard to find any
it looks kinda fun n leisure rather than making me looks like a serious cyclist
not a fan of "tajam2" helmet
hehe

n cuz it has some fancy reflector it kinda a plus point for me when riding home at night

if ony for protection i tink any helmets will do
i tink the styling is kinda like a statement of what kind of cycling u do
the more protection looking helmet i tink is for downhill or serious offroading
dat bell leader is very nice looking
but kinda expensive for leisure rider like me
i tink those who bought nutcase is for their looks rather than aniting
hehe

cheers

my helmet

Ok seriously i have no plans of how long will i be continue cycling unless i found some friends to cycle together from our housing areas to somewhere abit further and etc ...

But i only know im in love with javafit design the moment i saw it regardless
I would love to own a folding bike but once owned , i dont think i would want to sell it UNLESS im so hardcore by then that i would want to upgrade lol

As for now , im clueless on cycling

Question for Etigge or other sifus out there. I have a Giant Halfway and it has a 13-28T screw on freewheel. I want more speed so need to change to a 11-28T. Where would be the best place to look for one of these freewheels?
Thanx!

Hi guys, need some advice on purchasing my first bike.
Will be using it to cycle to/from work, place is around kajang/bbb.

A question, how does Dahon Vybe C7A compares to Raleigh Ugo?

From the post around here, it seems like the Dahon brand is the better known one, but the price is rather out of my budget (RM 700-800 ).

On the other side, considering my rather heavy weight, I am worried about getting a subpar folding bike. Any advice?

can get 2nd hand trinx for Rm800

yes u should

because after u r bored with your housing area, you will tend to cycle to other place like Putrajaya or car free day later..

You didn't mention whether yours is a 6/7 or 8 speed!

Usually freewheel cogs are 7 speed and below. There are 8 speeds sets though but hard to come by. I have used one before. An X- friend of mine still have a 7 speed which starts from 11T. I don't know if he still wants to sell it. Maybe you can message him in FB under Clement KokLupp Chan. Don't mention me though. Most starts from 13/14T to 28T. Anything 8 speed and above uses a different cassette hub already.

For the first time, honestly! I say the Raleigh is a much more solid looking foldie. If you want a better comparison, go to Kimbell Jaya. They now have both of it in stock. Ask Jimmy to bring out both bikes and compare it side by side. The Dahon is RM800 while the Raleigh UGo is RM750. Although Dahon Vybe C7S ( NOT C7A which is an aluminium frame) is RM50 priced higher, the components on the Raleigh is better. In fact the colour is even better but you know lah, a reknown brand compared to another not so popular brand. It's up to you.

Both have their pros and cons. ride wise, the Dahon C7S is better due to the steel frame but it's heavier and in future moddings, it is easier on the Dahon which has more superior parts that can be found in the market. Clamp wise (the folding part) it is still Dahon.

The seller whom i bought my ugo from dropped his price to only RM699!

Try looking at Inspire Volcano. Almost similar specs and looks, but cheaper by a few hundred.

if i have the time later after work i go Gainway klang ask the price for Java Fit for u.

think i'll give this Jimmy a visit this weekend.. wanted to get a Tern Link D8 but so far Rodalink & Van's only have it in white and pink.. so if it's the same case with Kimbell, i can have a look at other Dahons/Terns that he has in stock

Mr etigge, what are his weekend opening times? Sunday open? and can i name-drop you to maybe get a nice discount?

Ello guys...Im new to foldie! I used to MTB ride when i was in my secondary school...lol..That was like 15yrs bak!!

Juz figured its time to come bak and got myself a 2nd hand Dash P18...a really good ride...

Hope to learn more from here!!!

Kimbell Jaya do open Sundays but close on one Sunday a month. Opens half day though. Call Jimmy first (012-2927636) He just received a Dahon Vigor and 2 Tern C7s and a few Dahon Vybes. Also there are other foldies there. If you visit Saturdays, he's open for sure, from 11.30am onwards. Go ahead, just tell you ride with Wong and I am sure there's a good price.
