have a dahon vigor ..just checking how much issit to go for a lighter rims ...mostly quoted more than rm700.

LOL.. i think this shouldnt be a big issue.

No need to put oil. else it will be sticky and more dust/dirt will stick on it.

ok. many says if import bicycle will kena tax. but if import bicycle parts like tire, brake, etc, will kena tax or not?

import bicycle will kena tax meh? I'm not too sure but shouldn't be taxable.

for parts sure no problem, bought a sh*tload of bicycle stuffs from taobao before and didn't kena anything. But i didn't buy in big numbers la, buy also for myself or a few friends only

lol.. hard to say..

earlier member got post said he got kena tax at airport , oni racing bike won't kena tax..

this is not helping.. lol..

Well im not a tax expert but tax does apply to it IF they suspect u are buying for resale (trade)....

it shall not be applicable if the custom / tax office satisfy that you are buying for your own use and which the taxes had already been paid at the buyer side~~

all depend on luck lor...

mostly courier won't /less kena,

if ems ie poslaju... they see big box...haha...

u got what u pay

any problem with the bike can send balik to the shop

it's like buying a helmet

u want to buy a cheap one, but if accident it offer less protection

i believe most bike shops are having mid year sales now

Related question, my XDS AFB 270 seatpost also big big one, I bought a cheap blinker rear light from Daiso but realise can't fit it. Any recommendation on what to do?

Similar problem with a Giant bike lock i bought, but that one i just tie to rear rack when not in use.

Yeap i do believe cheap things no good while good things no cheap...
but that all depends on the money your pocket has...
and there are actually something call value for money...but it is not judging based on your wallet....but it is from the wallet the person who is buying the stuff
so what is value for money varies from people to people~~

anyway~~i do believe there are some traders outside offering some value for money goods...
they could be imitation stuff but for 1/5 of the price u can get "similar" item...it is quite value for money...
for e.g. China Hummer VS Montague Paratrooper Pro... RM 880 VS RM 3,800

but if i only has RM499 in my pocket then how?

i agree safety is another issue...well then one has to actually study and test the product loo...even expensive bike or parts will be defective as well...buy it at local shop after some testing~~

Ok, I check tmrow, pc off lioa...

Buy another cheap light tht can fit, tis wan tie to seat etc using cable tie etc..

Mebe he cut frm some other shop, din state he got own shop.

Most of these bikes can b found in gan fler shop in kajang.
Not song fler.

If you guys want to buy from TaoBao why not try and buy a better bike as your shipping cost is going to be the same? The better bike with better component will most likely ride better. I know it is all about money, maybe save a bit more before buying? I've done this before and learned lesson....

Really? No Dahon Curve at all available in Malaysia?

Am I the only weird guy who thinks the Dahon Curve is THE folding bike to get?

Just double checking before I take the plunge of importing it.
