Hi all, newbie reporting in. Just got my first foldie today.

Nice..welcome to foldie bike..

i would rather get 7 speed for Rm1400

Yesterday morning i attempted old gombak - genting sempah. failed. vommitted 2 times, legs went jelly. only completed half (about 7.3km, full distance 1-way is 15.3km) and turn back. did 2kms on my ugo, the rest on my wife's java fit, i need the extra low gears. damn poor fitness lah...

i wanted to try genting sempah.. haha

Take it slow and easy. You will reach the underpass any time soon.

Had fun dismantling my bike yesterday, preparing for 9 speed Deore upgrade. Gonna start putting things together tonight

I wished! By the 2km mark from start i had my first vommit (over exertion), then i swapped bike with wifey. The lower gears helped, alot! But even then my poor stamina failed me eventually despite taking it really slow and maintaining a steady cadence. Wife complained "no rasa at all" hahaha... She is disappointed, but we will try it again.

Somehow i enjoyed the return leg, because i dont need to pedal! just let gravity does its job and being a motorcyclist, i can handle high speed downhill with ease, leaving my wife a few mins behind.

You left your wife behind....? Please don't do that again. More gears just gives you smoother gear changing options only. The gear ratio does matters. We ride a 6 speed 16" wheel to Bentong from Gombak and also up to Frasers Hill. All you need is patience and some consistence in cycling and the day to destination of your choice in no time. Don't push your self too hard till the extend your have signs of hating cycling ya. Have fun and ride safe Andrew.

I think so too. It seems that the Mu Uno is harder to get now. Am I wrong? The best thing about the Mu Uno is that the chain does not go through the chainstay triangle. The bike can be mod to use belt driven system. Lighter and cleaner. Don't know if anyone in malaysia has done it. Seen one in BikeForum.

I would've given up at the first vomit point if i had to continue on the ugo. Good thing wife immediately told me to ride her java fit, The extra lower gears did made difference. But in the end my stamina and leg muscles still is not up to mark. Gotta work on those first before attempting it again.

Hi guys,

Newbie here. Anyone can recommend a shop in Klang/Shah Alam area that sells entry level foldies?

Thank you for your help.

I have only seen the Dahon Speed Uno only online. Don't know the quality of the finishing. Chromoly is cheap and easier to TIG weld than aluminium. The components are so-so only. Your mind says it's only an RM850 bike but when your heart has fallen in love, you know you will fork out the money...hahahaha don't know how long I can hold on

Yes, a bike like the Boardwalk is the better buy

total agree with you..
when I bought my mu uno..a lot of my friend asked why I didn't choose speed P8 as it has 8 gear..some said I wasted money on a single speed bike..but once you have really tried the bike..you will know what I mean..totally different feeling..
just like fixie bike..some would pay few K to buy..while others would prefer MTB of roadie..to me I have few bike for different rides..when going mountain or round island=MTB 18 speed..casual town ride=uno..tricks or fooling around=dj single speed..

as for my wife..she prefer 3 speed ( kukuxumusu/dahon d3)..to her..cycling at park or go riding with her friend in georgetown..3 speed is more than enough..
even better..she love her recumbent exercise bike at home..as she said no matter rain or shine..she still can cycle..no need to get wet..

Take it slow bro.. it is dangerous to push harder if you are not ready for it.. i learn my mistakes last weekend pacing with experience riders when i rode my roadie with them.. try to learn controlling your breathing and understand your pedalling power and stamina and aim to reach the destination eventhough it takes u to cycle slowly.. once your fitness and stamina is ready to go for endurance then go another extra kilometers more.. no point forcing yourself which turn up causing more damage than good physically n mentally.. my 2cent
