QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 27 2014, 05:14 PM) That must be Chin Aik! thanks bro..I did called rodalink bangsar as it was closed to my house (I just work in PG) but they said sold out, so i just grabbed from uncle Chin..the old version one. Red. Btw, Is it true that we need special RD hanger to upgrade speed P8 RD? where can I find it? There are 2 version in Klang Valley. The older version is a much better spec-ed version. This one comes with WTB rims, Avid brake levers and Kinetix brakes , seat post with a pump and Schwalbe Big Apple tyres. The new version does not have all those! The price in KL is around RM1780. Probably that's why Penangkia don't ride Dahon or Tern much. HArd to source them. I am driving to KL tomorrow just to buy a mini velo from Thomas of mini velo bikes. I can do that I am sure you can visit Klang valley to buy one. Hehehe |

QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 28 2014, 01:33 AM) Hill climbing is a bit tough with 8 speed lorr! Really ah bro...thank2..pm me ur contact numb. will ring u when I balk kampung nnt. yesterday, touring alone and yes, hill climbing with P8 is a tough job. and I just pre-registered for the OCBC 2015..haha..anyone participate? Slight gradient should be OK but when you say fat dude, like me also, better to have more gears. Easiest and cheapest way for you is to add front chain rings. As the front crank can accommodate another chain ring (no need to change the crank) just buy another 39 cog chain ring (RM60) and screw it on. Since you already wanted to change the RD, then get the Sora RD and FD (RM200) . Get a microshift 8 speed shifters (RM100) and an adapter (RM70) and Voila! you get 16 speed. Enough to go round Penang island. Even the Jalan Tun Sardon is possible. Sadly, I don't think any shop will do it in Penang. When you come back to KL, message me. I will do it for you.   I took this during my off-road outing on Tuesday |
