Haiz...so hazy this morning. Spoilt my cycling this 2 days

Planned to go cycling this morning. Too hazy. Ended cont sleeping.

N95 is the answer

i have question

for dahon vigor p9 .. what is the basic upgrade most likely the best for the bike? the bike is good for now but feel something is missing? can it be the speed? or cosmetic?

more like itch! whatever you do to upgrade the bike, it will go off temporary. However it will be back again

a bit anyway i would go for something that can enhance the usage rather than cosmetic (ayat jiwa kacau)

Second chainring ! This makes it 18 speed.

how to go about that? 18 speed sounds nice..


second chain ring in sense i need to give away the current one or just add up?

can advice the cost and parts to acquire?

can this be easily/cheaply done for my Boardwalk too?

cheap?

upgrading cost VS higher spec bike

yeah thats why i asked .. if it costs too much i might just save up and get a higher spec'd bike in the future.. but then an 18 speed dahon/tern costs at least RM2K+... but then again, i'm aware it wont cost as little as RM200 to upgrade

i dont think u can get 18 speed dahon/tern for that kinda price ...

the local visc p18 is bout 2k...........

visc p18 still in market? I thought it's discontinued

by the way..just asking..

has anyone ride a route of seri menanti (kuala pilah) until senaling (ulu pilah) negeri Sembilan?



start at 4:18 .. village road.. quite nice huh

First change the RD hanger so you can put in a long cage RD. Then an FD adapter to hold your FD. Cable housing and cable comes next and finally a pair of 9 speed shifter (left and right).

Last is a 39T chainring to add onto your existing crank and chainring.

So, all the needed item is in red!

For the Boardwalk, apart from the parts mentioned before this, you have to change the whole crank and chainring as the original one on Boardwalk is fixed (cannot add another chainring). Here's the picture of my wife's Boardwalk

There's a black Dahon Visc P18 in Kimbell Jaya. Difference though when you upgrade a Vigor is you will get the better Dalloy Vector frame but off course the price is about 1K higher than a Visc P18 after modding. When I had the Vigor (mine traded off already with a Dahon Dash P18), I followed the Vector P20 specs. I change the drive train to SRAM X5 just like the Vector P20 use. Effectively it becomes the Vector P20 which cost slightly over RM4000 locally.

Mine was, RM2000 for the bike, another RM800 for the SRAM X5 cassette, chain, X5 RD, X5 shifters and SRAM Apex FD. Add in another RM160 for the FD adapter and RD hanger. Total cost less than RM3000 plus also the old 9 speed components can be sold to offset a few hundred Ringgit. So, roughly about RM2600 for the Dahon Vector P20.
