QUOTE(gataddhin @ Aug 30 2013, 06:03 PM) Another good piece to pick up from the Rodalink is the Biologic Blast Airhorn. Now it is given 50% off from the normal price of RM120. After discount, RM60. Super cheap. how about rodalink in bangsar & putrajaya?You can horn to alert your friends during the ride to indicate you need help. Statistic has shown that about 70% cyclists being hit from sides. Many times, I horned at the vehicles coming from left side as the vehicles parked at road side blocking the view of the drivers when rolled down the road. |

QUOTE(2kia @ Sep 13 2013, 03:14 AM) this is exactly what i got, as posted in of the post earlier i agree wat u said. pretty solid, full brightness can go up to 2 hrs before it dims a little bit n finally goes off around the 3 hr mark for the 50% brightness mode, it stays that way constantly for about 7 hrs half before the red warning sign appears n this goes on for about 45 mins before going off completely not too sure how bright or wide it can shine cuz i only have this so far i really think we shld have a 1st post info etc! btw guys make sure ur headlight dsnt blind other road users do a field test, get down from ur bike n put urself in front of it n the light, if it's blinding u then it's blinding other users n that is very dangerous for everyone don't skimp on lights indeed if u ride at night, those can save our ass n lives perhaps we shld really highlight this to Tern, those dealers r clearly very irresponsible n have lousy service i bought my folding bike from usj cycle. they didn't service after i bought from them. nvm, i went back for the service the gear n brake, after service the brake i just went home n try the bike. i notice that my front v brake is not responsive. i was like wtf, end up i fixed it myself. their after sales service r very bad. |

QUOTE(etigge @ Oct 22 2013, 09:09 PM) It's kinda hard to get triple cranks nowadays as most have moved to double cranks. If you can find one, the rest cost about RM75 for the Shimano 2300 FD, another RM100 for the FD adapter, Jagwire cable and housing another RM30 and finally the shifters cost RM100 for 3 X 8 speed and RM130 for 3 X 9 speed. If you can't find triples, the cost is still the same! so how much if i change fd n rd?i wanna to change to rd 8 speed to 10 speed? how much around? |

QUOTE(etigge @ Oct 22 2013, 10:40 PM) That means changing into 20 speed. One word of caution though, nice as it seems, 10 speed is harder to tune and the adjustments are quite minute. The 8 speed to 10 speed cogs are actually the same width, so it means the 10 speed cogs are thinner and the spacing narrower. The chain is narrower and this means the adjustment margins are also narrower. Even if it is tuned to perfection and another heavier rider rides your bike, the adjustments will mis-align slightly but not so much that it won't shift. Just that it's not that fluid. That's because the frame will flex under different loads. wow kinda confuse.I find 9 speed more robust and smoother and off course the 8 speed is even more easier to maintain. But it totally your choice. You can change to Shimano 105 cranks and chainrings with hollowtech technology with 105 FD and RD and also the cassette. If you are using 105 RDs, then a road bike cassette is preferred. They range from 11-27 , 12-28, 11-25, it's your choice. Nearer ratios makes shifting gears more fluid instead of getting too much freeplay after shifting to lower gears. Drawback is the low gears are limited and you need to mash the pedals for steep uphills but for a 20 incher, it's actually acceptable. Me, an old man on the other hand, likes the lightest possible gear inches as possible. So, I put in mountain bike cassettes and RDs. The RD is long cage to accomodate the chain slack. I get 11-34 at the rear which makes my low end very low combined with 20 inch wheels. I think both choices cost about the same. For MTB components, 10 speed starts with Deore. The shifters, RD, FD, cables, adapters, FSA cranks (53/39), BB should come to about 1K give and take a hundred. Off course there's higher end option like SLX or XT for MTBs or Tiagra, Sora (9 speed) , or even Ultegras for road bike version. anyway thanks for your info. do u have any recommended bike shop who can do this? i just get Fed up from my bike shop where i bought from. he told me that can't be modify fd. |

QUOTE(etigge @ Oct 22 2013, 11:41 PM) What bike are you riding? I have already done 7. Two on Speed P8 and another on a Dr.Hon Boardwalk, 2 on Tern P9s, also 2 on my old Dahon Eco C7. I also did a 24 speed on a folding bike frame from China. When I started with Eco C7 and I* did not have tools yet, I just wanted to mod it 8 speed and brought the freewheel 8 cogs and shifter to a bike shop. The shop told me it was not possible i m riding dahon speed p8 2013. i bought from usj shop. omg that shop really don't wanna do repeat customer. i asked him can i modify fd. he told me can't. the most funny part is they can't even tune my bike brake properly n i have tune myself take hours. anyway i m still new. i don't how to change tyre. your help will be grateful to me. |

QUOTE(etigge @ Oct 29 2013, 05:49 PM) I think it's not much of a problem. It may be 'terbalik' but for Neos system it the correct way. Shimano used to have an XTR RD also moves in the same way and I have used it before. It was 9 speed too. Instead of thumbing to go easier, it just release to go easier. In fact I think it's easier too. User if for a while and you will get used to it. All Shimano or SRAM RDs are compatible with your Dahon Boardwalk PROVIDED that you have the adapter! is dahon boardwalk adapter same as dahon speed p8? |

QUOTE(melvintkw @ Dec 21 2013, 02:45 PM) My advice,Don't go USJ CYCLES for folding bike upgrades.All they can say is,"Folding bike can't upgrade one.If want upgrade better buy from us better." i agree, plus they didn't even know how to tune the bike properly.And they thought they r the pros & gives u the lansi/corky look. |
