I can't find any in penang xcept the limited edition kukuxumusu...

the $$$ for the kukuxumusu is way out of my budget...

ohh...I am new to foldie...and anyone facing any issue with the hinge...

normally i park car opposite balik pulau hospital and cycle towards teluk bahang (jln air putih) turn in jalan baru then cycle towards pulau betong and back to the starting point.. sometime stop by to hae laksa...

next ride? really dunno bro now a bit susah since my boy got his own ride he dont really want to sit at the child seat want to cycle by himself, so just cycle around apartment only.

im not a sifu so i can ony answer de ktm question
ktm all u need is a bag
mine cuz i can ony fold into two so its not so compact
like budgee said (thanx budgee )
so i "stroll" it so i just cover it all except the wheels
something like this

or like samo u just pack the whole bicycle into the bag n carry de bag


if shoping centre i dont tink its posible.its either u carry the bag or park at motorcycle area?not so sure but if ur bike is slim like brompton or somting like thers a video of it in the thread b4 but i kinda lazy to search for it (my bad ) u can carry it n make it as a shoping trolley
but i dont tink its posible with normal folding bike

if kena de time myb i can join oso

dis petang just now i go a light offroad cycling with a friend
just leisure cycling
to make amend for not going to frim yesterday

You people totally forgot bout a lock... find a safe place lock wheels and body to metal railing... remove pedals with quick release if possible..

Get those cable locks bout 1 metre?

That Kukuxumusu is getting really rare.. People buy it just for the frame..

Curve D3 is long gone.. Unless of you can find one listed on bicycle buy & sell in really good condition, you might want to snag it.

Sam

DHL with express service (5 working days from US -> MY)

Lock not practical for folding bike as everything is QR. hence ppl can steal everything and left frame for only. Haha

shud buy 4d or toto lor then....

If u hv afew cable lock which is long enuf, ucan snake it around n oni d handle is not protected or lock aft fold ...

Is it worth to upgrade crankset for Raleigh Ugo?

Yes, once you folded the bike, the chain or cable lock will go through both wheels and the frame. So all secured.
One more cable lock to go through the rails underneath saddle and the frame, which should also go through your helmet. So now all locked up. Only thing left is your handlebars which can come off via QR, then got risk of this gone, but with brakes and gear cables connected, the thief must have the time to disconnect or cut the cables quickly. Can't see any use unless your handlebars are carbon fibre, or your handlebar grips are high end ones.

If you have the money, then get another high end D-lock to lock the frame to a metal fence or structure. foldies are quite light and can be carried off.

Wah, so many locks, i think will make your bike very heavy but secure lah. Spending money on expensive locks is not silly but practical. If you lose your bike, then you have to buy another one which costs a lot more money than the locks you spend on. If I calculate the locks to be just 20% of the value of the bike, then is RM200 for a RM1,000 bike
Just like buying insurance loh.

Thief see so well locked up also don't want and will want to go for other easier targets.

How much does Dahon Speed 8 second hand unit might cost? I mean reasonable price for second hand unit. Old unit model 2011

If you can find one The old Dahon Speed P8 are sold at over 2K formerly and the newer ones can be had for 1.8K. So how much do you think an old one is worthy? I mean the old ones has better components compared to the new ones, so if the owner wants to sell his for 1.5K, will you buy OR if you offer 1.2K, will he sell? The old Dahons are almost a collector bikes now! Especially the Dahon Dash and Speeds.

It's quite ironic isn't it! I mean we buy a foldie for it's folding capability so the bike is brought along all the time. Why lock it to a post?

Somehow my fren said can get the old unit of new Dahon Speed 8 at Toabao and after shipping in will cost about Rm1.5k only. Hmm, maybe could source it from there.

Can anyone identified what this Raleigh Ugo crankset he is using? Think to upgrade my cranset.

fsa crank i think..

I understand where you are coming from, but foldies are not allowed in certain buildings / secure Office buldings / 5 star hotels / swimming pool facilities / and a quick visit to a public toilet, oh, with a bike in toilet would create quite a scene... etc.. as the original poster wanted to know..

How much is FSA 53/39T cost? If I change this crankset but only use single ring, is it ok? Cause Raleigh Ugo cant add FD due to frame issue.
Is it worth only to use it as single ring over the existing stock Prowheel 52T?
