From China worr! What happens if arrives here, it is different. It's a good buy if what they describe is as it is. I have look at your Ugo the other day and I am sure the FD can be done but then again it not worth your while to upgrade, might as well get a better buy. Thing is, your prospective future purchase is also an 8 speeder only worr, no double crank.

I think you should check for Hasa Minimax in Bicycle Buy Sell. I think there's still another one, trying to sell for RM1.3K. Maybe you can negotiate for lower. Should be good for you. No need to upgrade and all.

this is 2012 model ?

I think earlier than that. It was bought for 2.4K, if I am not mistaken. He has two and moved on to road bikes. He sold the red one, only the blue one left.

There no point going backwards. If speed is what you are aiming for, then change to road bike cogs at the rear. Increasing the cogs in front will increase speed at the expense of harder pedalling. When it comes to uphill rides, you will be without the lower gears!

mine rear cog is already 11T so changing to road bike 11T got different ??

anyone with Bromptons? can try this at home..

All sifu, any comment on TRS folding bike?
7 speeds offer at RM600, it looks like tern c7.

Yeah, that's what I am worried. China worrr.. haha
Anyway, for FD if it's not worth to upgrade might as well stay stock.
The problem is the Raleigh is so nice to ride now after changing tyre to Scwable BA that I am a bit reluctant to change hence the upgrade thingy came into my mind.
Anyway, still undecided. Hasa I dun quite like their design. Maybe a Java Fit or Tern P9

So far i'm hapi with my Java Fit... perhaps u can try out if you are join Sam's Putra Jaya ride this saturday

yeah... who said folding bike is weak... LOL....

ive posted this vid 2 years ago in the first thread...

maybe aftwards the brommy can sell to scrap yard oredi ... LOL

no difference...
11t is the smallest u can get...
wan speed the front nids to go bigger..
55x11 u just slower ~ 2km/h than a normal roadbike la....

but u hv advantage of small wheel...

hv u tried pedalling a road bike700c at 50x11 from stand still ??

nop never have the chance to try that... u try that b4 ? how is the feel ? hehe

i think u will meet some road bike gua at samo's merdeka ride,
just fren fren request to have a test...
then u will know how it feels... to have small wheels..

Cant join this weekend. Parents coming up to my place. Bike will be in store room this weekend.

The one that sell the old Dahon Speed 8 unfortunately is individual and not from bike shop.

I ride with all roadie last weekend at Guthrie.
Pick up foldie will lead but after 5-10 sec, u will see roadie overtaking u effortlessly.
About 3 minute into it, the gap is wider. After 5 minutes, ayam lone rider.
Haha, maybe ayam not good in cycling gua..
Personel review only

as advised earlier.. not worth it to get another 8 speeder...

yes, at the highest gear setting pick up small wheel is easier to pedal....

n obviously those cyclist are far powerful than you.
yes u loose a bit gigi on the front n big tyre oso..

but if 55x11 with kojak etc... same power cyclist will have no prob
catching up with road bike punya...

there are tons of dirt cheap, 'fake or not'? folding bike frame in china for sale...

if got a few hundred... RM to burn... instead of up genting etc..

try ur luck here... mebe just can transfer some of ur parts over... n kautim.... semi new bike...
