1- bcos it is dahon/dr hon. So price sure $$$ more than trs no matter what..
2- disc brake r dirt cheap now, those made in china for low cost bike..
3- which more effective.. have to test like in pouring rain n mud etc... kekeke..

No, no foldies within that price range in the roadshow. I think you should refer to bicyclebuysell.com to get a folding bike at that price. There are quite a number of options for that budget.

Because there are such things as good V brakes and crappy disc brakes.

..
but i think ur case, as H2D said .... because it's Dahon LOL

Well i guess had 2top up a lil to rm1k.
Now have 3 models which i think are less / bout rm1k..
Polygon urbano 3.0, lerun neo, & raleigh ugo.
Maybe can slot dahon vybe c7a in d list?
Any comments?
D purpose is 2ride 4fun..lama x ride bisikal.

Mcm buying car. Proton with 4 disc brakes all around or Toyota vios E but with rear drum brakes? Both also perform the same basic function.down to individual preference and budget.

to all the pros here. I do some research on foldable bike and planning to get one. However most of the foldable bike comes with 20inch instead of slightly bigger one.
I myself is a fairly big size guy. A 20 inch bike seems too small for me.
Planning to get the China Hummer bike.
What do you guys think? Any other recommendation??

i'm looking for another bicycle for my mum. budget around RM1k. Any recommended. I'm thinking should i get a 16 inches rims or stick to 20 rims inches. My car boot not sure can fit another 20 inches rims as i can't put the bicycle vertically.

polygon urbano 3.0 looks better

disc brake or v brake? if it is low end mechanical disc brake vs low end v brake i will go for vbrake... low end mechanical disc brake tend to rub against its brake pad...

If you remove the seat posts out from the bike and place it in car front seat, then may just be possible to have two bikes 20 inch rims. Just experiment if with your 20 inch...

but best to have 16 inch rims, so small and compact.

got, i bought my new 16 inch foldie at rm750, an XDS

Xds fa16?

yes, xds fa 16

You mean from that 1 Mont Kiara roadshow? Or shop?

You guys do any long distance ride?..i rode 70km last time at kampar with my Raleigh ugo, I'm missing those days..

54km from Ampang to bandar utama

Longest ride in a day is 155KM on 16" wheels ....

And how long did that took......and the starting / ending point?

Cycling time approx 10 hours from Setapak to Kampar.
