QUOTE(akioen @ Jan 17 2014, 08:08 PM) if i can stretch up my budget to rm2000, which folding bike can u recommend? with that budget, can get a decent model already. dahon mu p8, tern link d8. both model is 8speed i believe. and both is big names in folding bike, so the quality is there. it is still kinda entry level but it will suffice for beginners. thanks just my 2 cents. |

QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 18 2014, 01:29 AM) The Dahon MU P8 is priced higher than the Speed P8. The Speed P8 is a proven bike both in terms of folding and also ride. As the Speed P8 use chromoly steel, the ride is more comfortable than the MU's aluminium. MU on the other hand is free of corrosion though and the ride is a bit harsh compared to Speed. The newer Speed named Dr.Hon's have lousy components, most visibly is thier rims, shifters and brakes. The older ones use Kinetix brakes with Avid levers, WTB rims and also have a seatpost with a pump inside. Also the older ones is shodded with Schwalbe Big Apple tires. I have 2 fellow riders including me 3 bought the older version from Sew Leong in Dengkil. Mine is the picture below. Etigge, do you wrap your cables? if yes, what is the material you used? asking because the cable seems thicker than usual. |

QUOTE(aaronljw @ Jan 27 2014, 01:29 AM) Hi everyone! Just discovered this excellent thread and am happy to find a lot of great info and opinions welcome to thread. heheh Based on my amateur research, I was looking to touch touch feel feel a Dahon Vigor P9 and was wondering if anyone knows if all Rodalink outlets carry the model or only certain ones like the Botanik outlet. Nice to meet everyone btw! well to be sure, u can always call Rodalink to check which outlet that have ready stock for the model u want. u can also ask for the model color availability if u want to. they have central database, so feel free to ask them. |
