wahhh...15% discount...they give you on the sport arrr...
when I got mine I have to nego untill the shop uncle give 15% discount...
I thought I utung d...mana tau...-10%-15% seem like a standard practice for must bike shop...

No problem Master Wong..

Contrary to what you believe, the 24" is "slightly" bigger than a 20". If you know how to pack, then certainly, its no issue...

The Dahon IOS in Chin Aik is the P8 model..

What the seller was asking for is Mudah.com is a very decent price, given the fact that he paid much more for it..

You've got the admirable skills & you cycle.. All you need is guts and investors. Then you are in business.

All the bikestores mentioned: They have one thing in common: "image".

You may not need to know the inner workings of a bike, just pave it with money and the service mechanics will come.

FBT for example, knows how to manipulate the electronic, print and digital media, ever willing to come in front of the camera and sell... So much so, they kena whack by some ultra extremist blogger for showing lewd signs and had to apologize.. Read about it here..

GWC - Started as a shop selling junk bicycles. Realized there is a niche in modifying bikes and took a bold step to be the agent for Pacific Cycles after the previous distributor gave up...

Van's - A year old, supposed to be FBT franchisee, decided to go on their own, very aggressive and seems to be doing very well. Just be careful of their tech by the name of "Y.C", a prick who knows next to nothing..

Beginners market is easy to tap now that folding bikes are well-known and readily accepted.. But I think the interest will wane in a year or two when there are noting really exciting in the offing..

Hahaha, why terbalik one!    KHS too man. KHS is perfect for a lady, thin tubes and sleek. Birdy looks like a frog!    I think the Birdy looks more muscular than the KHS. Still game on Birdy, here you go : MAybe she won't notice it is not a Birdy!

I will try to be as fair as possible in commenting but rest assured I am not sponsored by Tern to do any jacking or reviews!   I have a friend who rides both the KHS and the Tern Link P9. The KHS have not given any problems as yet except that it is a proven OLD model, being old is the only problem. The geometry is proven and it has a nice take off speed. The frame is made of smaller tubes and this makes it more less prone to wind resistance, (eh...eh..eh macam Formula 1 pulak!). The Tern Link P9 on the other hand is actually a good bike given that it is properly adjusted which Rodalink or LeRun or the bike shops can hardly do. The handlepost creaking is present in almost every bike.    So much for their Physis handlepost which claim to be better. If you are a light rider, this is not so much of a problem though. The jumping chains can be rectified in a simple procedure but the Neos rear derailleurs is really a pain in the ass! If you change to any cheaper Shimano RD, even the Accera together with the shifter, the problem will be gone.

Have you give consideration for a Dahon Speed P8 which is still available in Sew Leong, Dengkil. Or the Dahon MUP8 which is still available in Kimbell Jaya, Jln.Tun Hussein Onn. The shop is trying to sell off the old stock at RM400 less than the sale price.

As for the Birdy, I am not going to comment on that. Happy riding and maybe one day we can ride together.

Another KHS kaki, I just got my KHS F20-T 3 weeks ago near Sunway. How much you pay for it?

It's actually out of production but I heard there's still a unit in Chin Aik, Carnarvon Street, Penang. 

It's a very old model worr!    It's a 24" wheel foldie, once folded not that compact. The last time the suggested price was RM2899. I don't know that grumpy old man will give you a good discount or not? I actually get better prices even after Rodalink is on sale! 

How old is the bike, better send the bike back to Rodalink. It's under warranty. Of the 3 types of joints used by Dahon, the type MU or Vector or Vigor uses is the strongest. Shouldn't be any sound, sound means there's space. Are you sure the sound is from the joint? When you say 'allen key', you must be adjusting the nut on the outside clasp. To get tighter clamp, you have to adjust the hexagonal nut inside the joint. It's the minute distance that needs adjustment. Very minor adjustment only, too much you won't be able to clamp! 


NOT THIS !

No, this tread is open to all folding bikes. There's  Foldie N Me club in facebook or if you want I can invite you to the rides that I do around KL. There's one to Sekinchan on the 11th Jan 2014. Wanna join?

We are riding from Sekinchan to Sungai Besar. Starts the ride at 7.30am from Sekinchan Fire Station. Be there on the 11th Jan if interested. It's an easy ride. Flat 48 kilometers, absolutely no elevation gain at all!
