this is not going to be easy aiH.....
gonna send it to the nearest bike shop to assemble it

hmm.. i think the only part u need to assemble is the front wheel, pedal and maybe the handlebar..

hua.. manyak barang oh...

ya can diy wan la..
no nid send shop yet..

and of cos, u need some tools.. like allen key, spanner and screwdrivers.

yes....wheel pedal, seatpost handlebar part tricky coz i dunno how to connect the brake wire
the disc brake also.....
need to save the hassle coz really noob in this

tools memang ada la.....

Dahon Carryon Cover and Tern Carryon Cover is the same thing, basically? Anyone here used one of them?

mine 28spoke rim,its kind of hard to find 28spoke hub so i adopt the 32spoke hub.still can be used.change the wheel will only raised the cost and i cant bear it

Me a noobie. How to differentiate between gearsets for RB and MTB?

A lot of ppl bring foldable bike on train but dun carry it around in the LRT station. Just fold and wheel it and push it like a trolley can.

Carry 10 to 12 kg of bike in a bag is too much!
KLCC or Masjid Jamek LRT, we have just wheel it without bag but make sure it is folded.

Eh.. In this decade Tools got, LYN got, YouTube got.. DIY la! Apa lagi destiny6 mahu? Get some experience hands on.. After one week maybe want upgrade components.. Who knows? Hahaha!

Yep, got the idea. But just worried that the 'supersized' bag will be disallowed coz it's obvious that it's most likely a foldie within.

Okay, more importantly, it looks ugly

I've got the idea of having it in a backpack instead of the common carry-on bag type, please see the end of my message.

Don't get what you mean a b or a bike a B

Seems like bagged or not, it's fine during non-peak hours. Those that can't carry onto the train are most likely during peak hours.

The reason for my question is to find out if it is feasible to "sneak" one in during peak hours via bagging.

I think 12 kg is still fine, especially if 'backpack style'. The common 'carry-on' bag style might be too cumbersome.

Guys, which brings me to my next question.....

--------------------

I think a solution would be to backpack the folded bicycle.

A 12 kg bike bagged into a carry-on is slightly troublesome, but manageable (quite similar to your regular travel bags), but on a backpack it's very portable and ergonomic. Anyone knows where to get such a backpack? Been googling with no luck!

Update: I found it!!!! Dimensions customized for a folding bike, with straps too!

Gosh the converted price is more than RM300 excluding shipping. Do you guys know where to get something like this in KL at a reasonable price?

tried....only able to assemble some certain parts,
very slow learner here

do you have to assemble headset and fork? If I'm not wrong those need special tools like the headset press. Cassette and crankset also need special tools.

The rest should be doable with just allen key sets and phillips / flat screwdriver

anyone know where can get dahon jetstream p8? is it preoder item ? or can get just like other bike?

this is how mrs samo carried her foldie.
i carried mine similarly.

alternatively, if you have a long strap bag like this one, strap it across your shoulder and chest for better stability.

Oh? What foldie you have that cannot be wheeled in folded position?

I have a few foldies and all I have taken on LRT during Rush hour and I don't carry them, I just roll them on the floor either on one wheel or two.

I made sure that it can roll better without the fold coming apart and also that I can just hold the bike with one hand and roll it. The other hand is free to carry anything else.

mtb gearset
- small crank if im not mistaken below than 46t
- casette got big ratio (30-34t)

roadie gearset
- bigger crank 50t and above
- casette got smaller ratio (below 30t)

however,
the RD, FD and also Shifter both mtb and rb can be used on folding bike..

if money doesnt matter,better get the rb gearset coz its lighten than mtb.but if money problem can rojak the parts
