QUOTE(melvintkw @ Dec 14 2013, 01:02 PM) Dear sifus,I just bought a china brand 20" folding bike(Speedgear) with 7speed rear and single speed on the crank.Cycled a few rounds yesterday around the park and I find it hard to cycle uphill or slope. Any recommendation upgrades/mod to fix this problem? i'm not a sifu,but we need to upgrade our leg first. then upgrade the gears, slowly. |

QUOTE(angelgemini @ Dec 26 2013, 05:16 PM) Still can't make up my mind to get which 1. I bought my tern link p9 for rm2300 after 500 discount at vans wangsa maju. Try to contact them if they still have stock. All of them have similar price range. What the different between them? Pro & Con? Dahon Visc P18 - RM2399 Dash P18 - RM2499 Mu P27 - RM2599 NEW Vigor P9 - RM2399 Tern Link P9 - RM2800 The creaking handlepost is curable by applying a dab of grease at the joint. The chain drop happened to my p9, but after i bashed the chainguard with rubber hammer, seems like its no longer there. Whereas for the sliding seatpost, havent experienced it. Whatever bike you choose, make sure you enjoy it. Hehe. P9's component are quite good too. Very satisfied. This post has been edited by Khairi Zainal: Dec 27 2013, 06:19 PM |

QUOTE(etigge @ Dec 27 2013, 06:29 PM) Congrats on your purchase. If you want to stick to single chainring, I suggest you look for a more sturdier bash guard. Something from Lite Pro should be good. You can try looking for 55T or 56T chain ring and just change it. The X7 modding to 10 speed will probably cost RM800 and the X9 RM1000 (approx. figures) but off course it will be much cheaper if you mixed the usage. Mainly there's 4 components that needs to be change. The 10 sp cassette, the chain, the RD and the shifters. That kind of price is something that should be expected from good components. It will be nice to see the link p9 upgraded to x10 specs or even better, than have the frame resprayed. But since the improvement of the 10 speeds is almost insignificant to the already 9 speeds, maybe i'll just wait till the neos rd worn out eventhough the neos is not as smooth. And need tu kumpul duit lah. Haha Thanks for the reply |

QUOTE(etigge @ Dec 27 2013, 10:58 PM) I think for a foldie, although it is good if we can put in top notch drive train components but it's not that critical as mountain bikes or road bikes. When you are in a race, gear shifts have to be precise and crisp but as for recreational foldies, as long as it doesn't break or rattle or jam, it should be fine. If you see expensive Birdy, they shod the 6K bike with only Shimano Alivio. Maybe they wanted it to be as compact ad possible. I quite like the compactness but for the expense of smoothness. So thats why the chain jumped out from the chainring? In the lowest gear, it feels like the chain is rubbing on something, i think maybe the guide wheel from the neos rd contacted with the cassette (i dont know the real terms. Haha) I have modded my Dahon Vigor to SRAM X5s and it cost me about RM600 and the rear shifting is good and acceptable although not as smooth as my other 2 Dahons which uses the classic old Shimano LX. Maybe it's OK if you don't ride much hilly areas but myself, I do a lot of Genting Perez and Sempah. Also I used to ride Fraser's Hill so gears are important to me. As long as it changes, it's fine. Even the Shimano Acera is better than the Neos. And yeah, changing gears while climbing hill is not that good.( i meant with the neos rd) This post has been edited by Khairi Zainal: Dec 27 2013, 11:10 PM |
