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

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?

RMB195? So cheap??

According to Jonny, cannot upgrade FD as there is no place to mount unless cut some steel of the frame and he said not recommended to do so.

I saw this new unit of Dahon Speed 8 old model selling at Toabao.
Old spec with biologic seat pump, kinetic pro wheelset etc etc
RMB2360 and after adding shipping fees will be like RM1500+

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

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

Wow 9kg!!,
I think with the money spend can get a brand new Tern P9?
What crankset he is using?
Looks like seatpost and handle post change.
Other than that not much different

Yes, they have 20% on all Tern.
Damn, Link P9 cost about RM2300++ saje.
Wasted still no money to buy

Wow, we that amount I think might reach Rm3-5k!
I would buy a proper Verge X10.
But as u said, maybe the old part jes throw to this Raleigh Ugo then it make sense lah.

Lol, nama saya pon dikeluarkan yah? Well, yeah Raleigh Ugo is a good beginner bike. U wont know if u r into cycling for long term o jes for the sake of satisfying friend request to join them. If u straight buy good bike but later underused it, then it will be wasted lah. Hence Raleigh Ugo is a good beginner bike that cost somewhere Rm680-Rm750. Btw, I didn't mod any part except add on front light, back light and cyclometer. Ohh yah, the best of the best and until now I am still satisfied which my upgrade is slapping a pair of 20x2.0 Schwalbe Big Apple tyre into my Ugo. Super comfortable comparing to stock Kenda tyre. Just try to experience Kenda tyre for a month and later upgrade to BA. You will appreciate BA very much.. Haha

After hearing advise from many friends, I decided not to waste money to upgrade crankset etc as at the end, it really wont worth much. The bike will end up being too expensive and afterall it's still the entry level Raleigh. Hence I am aiming for Tern Link P9 and most probably will be getting it by year end. Hope there is year end sales by then. Now Rodalink having 20% discount on all Tern bike.

(Ahh side poison, if u have a bit more budget please consider the most basic Tern Link C7 which have now 20% sales at Rodalink Botanic. Is cost about RM1.1k after discount. Really worth it as Tern have very little sales going on as their bike are consider 'premium'.)

Anyway some poison picture again.

Yesterday riding from Setia Alam to Bukit Cahaya. There is a tangki god with around 15-20% accending which Raleigh Ugo max out halfway up. Largest cog already and already try standing to cycle but the bike jes wont budge. I guess this is the limitation dy.
On the other hand, my fren with Santa Cruz mtb go to the top easily. Later he try going up with my Raleigh and still only halfway.
This is me upon reaching Bukit Cahaya. We did some light off road to lake side etc too while on the way there.



For roadie aka road bike, you may get more roadie kaki here

Sam ah? His famous Samo-scale on makan makan mah. Just yesterday The Star he features Jonny sebelah kedai kopi. Haha

Huh? Are u the guy I met too? U were saying C7 cannot upgrade due to the cassette etc and Van urban having very less promotion?

Tern Link P9 only two colour there. Red/black and White/Blue. I still love White/Red

Yup, biologic stuff worth to get. I didn't get the air hon but I do buy their biologic arx grip with tool. Very nice grip with lock position. Exactly like Tern. Keke

Thought of buying Biologic seat post but too heavy. Hence bought topeak hand pump. Rocket racer. Another thing can try is their suspension seatpost

Also got myself MKS foldable pedal cost rm99. 50% hence rm49.50.

Very worth!
