Hello sifu sekalian, I am new to folding bike and thought of getting one. I have a deal for the new Java TT 7speed for RM 860. Is it good for beginner like me? in terms of quality? or you all have any other recommendations?

QUOTE(etigge @ Dec 20 2013, 08:12 PM) The problem with 7 speed is, when you have improved and want to tackle some hills and wants to upgrade, the upgrade is damn costly because of the rims! oh, thanks thanks! Anything with 8 speed or more is easy as they use cassette type cogs at the rear. For the 7 speed and below, they use the old fashion freewheel screw in type which limits you to a small number of combination. The 7 speed rear gearing actually starts from 14T till 28T while a cassette type 8 speed is 11T till 30T which gives a better lower and a better higher gearing. Tambah sikit and go for a Dahon Boardwalk D8. I can recommend you a shop selling at RM1030. Alternatively, I rather go for Louis Garneau POP which sells for the same price and 8 speed. You must be also attracted by the disc brake.   |

I just bought the the last unit of Dahon Boardwalk D8 (8 speed) from Kimbell Jaya on Christmas day 2013. It's a good buy as etigge said. Not sure if the new stock arrived already or not as I heard from the boss saying that there is a new batch of stock coming soon.

QUOTE(xproc @ Jan 5 2014, 01:52 PM) how much you buy? RM 1100. QUOTE(xproc @ Jan 5 2014, 01:53 PM) so the bicycle for starter like us = dahon boardwalk c8 = good enough? Hmm yeah, can use it to learn about foldies slowly (talking about mod, etc in the future), provided the bike is solid as well. |
