I was looking at XDS 270, visited the USJ 4 shop. Any comments for a newbie? Looking for low-budget foldie, start off with riding around taman and maybe bringing it in car for further rides.
Also looked at XDS 280, which is a bit over my budget di. Specs wise difference seems to be mainly the disc brakes, am I mistaken? EDIT: Oh, and anyone uses front baby bike seats? usjcycles sells BoBike but quite pricey. This post has been edited by LostAndFound: Jul 17 2014, 09:54 AM |

QUOTE(eohl79 @ Jul 17 2014, 12:27 AM) Hi guys, just bought a Dahon Boardwalk D8 for the wife. Realized that the wheels are not the same as what was stated in Dahon website. I am getting a 28H rear n 20H front wheels with steel angular contact bearings instead of sealed cartridge bearings. Square taper BB I dont think it is sealed bearings too. Had to true the rims myself as the spoke tension as wells as wheel hop was bad. I can see the rims lack lateral stifness when truing it up. Also the hub angular contact bearings were too tight causing the wheels to not spin freely... hub bearings were also a little low on grease so had to top it up a little. Took it out for a spin after all the adjustments n now it is fine. Is the the MY Boardwalk D8 having diff specs than website? No rear rack like website too... where did you buy? |

Planning to buy rims from taobao but I'm not sure how much shipping will be. did not take measurement of the box, but the rims was wrap separately and it was sit comfortably in the box with only little overlapping. the dimension of the box bring it up to 12kg of volumetric weight. kena about rm150 for the shipping  so got to choose your agent wisely:sweat: This post has been edited by mbax: Jul 18 2014, 10:38 AM |

Brompton over my budget. Children don't know how to ride and still need the training wheel. Just thinking if buy 2 for adult and don't buy for kids then they follow to garden they got nothing to ride.
