Dear sifus, I'm very new to this folding bike scene. Was looking around & came across the Dahon Speed P8 selling for RM1.5k. The price looks attractive but I read somewhere in the forum that the new batches (after year 2011) are using slightly poorer components.

Is it still a worthwhile consideration or should I look at other models ? Thank you.

try BBS for folding bike bag..

but it is a little troublesome to put your bike in this kind of bag... this tern carry on is easier to pack and carry but it is pricier...

Hi all cycling enthusiasts, I'm selling Tern C7 Link as I got it as gift. So it is totally brand new. And you can activate the warranty urself.

Details can seen from the link below.

By the way... a noob question that requires some fellow bikers advice...

If my tyre is rated at 35 - 60 PSI..
how much air pressure i need to pump in?
Should i just pump at any petrol station?

i bought a pump from Tesco~~
but i cant seems to pump in air above 30psi sad.gif
*
What i do is to take the middle figure in between the min and max, then go ride it. Then i release or pump up depending on feel. In your case 35-60, middle would be 47 or 48. But my preference, i would go between 50-52 since i ride taman roads more. Flat paved roads.

Yes you can pump at petrol station pump. If u dont mind u can always counter check with a digital tyre pressure gauge. I carry one with me most of the time, although most would think it is unnecessary.

Thanks for the info~~
i think i may need to increase the air pressure a bit~~i think i am currently only on 310 kpa which is around 44~~
feel is ok but i felt my back tyre a bit draggy~~may go increase another 30Kpa or to 49psi

Hi everyone, I'm new here & am looking to buy a folding bike. Is it advisable to buy a second hand folding bike ? I saw an ad for a tern verge but it's 3 years old. Appreciate any advice or experience from fellow riders here. Tq.

I thought Hummer comes with anything from 21 to 27 speed? Why this is only 8 speed? And I don't think sport rim will make a great difference as for the weight. Correct me if I am wrong. I rather go for the normal rim version which is just RM850 plus minus.

Also take note that it is a China Hummer (not the original Montague Hummer). The original Montague Hummer can cost about RM2.7k and above.
