tern verge x30h limited

1k for each or both ?

Hello

I have 2 folding bikes here for you to compare

1 birdy fits the whole car boot


But 2 bromptons fit the whole car boot


I have nothing to against Birdy but just to let you know almost all the bike fold like that due to the fold mechanism and different wheel size.

Here is the brompton(16") vs raleigh ugo(20")


Im not sure how big is your car boot like. But usually, you can only fit one 20" folding bike into the car boot (assuming you have Wira) . If you manage to squeeze 2, 1 in the car boot and 1 in the back passenger seat. But if it is MyVi, then abit challenging.

The most compact folding bike doesn't come cheap even the bootleg version like MIT-V8. If you can tolerate with Raleigh Ugo (Rm800) folded size, then Dahon/Tern shouldn't be a problem too.

Zelius, birdy and brompton definitely costs more than rm1k

Hahaha... But i have no photo, but just to chip in my experience, a folded raleigh ugo and a folded java fit, ngam ngam masuk the rear seat of kelisa, with some wriggling around lah...

Oh wait, my wife did take some photos.

if raleigh broadway = raleigh ugo, the folding stem that hold the handlebar is quite loose.
polygon urbano 3.0 would be better..

anyone use wider tyre in fron?
mr google said wider front will have more grip n improve cornering while wider rear will improve comfort in a long commute.

i just bought schwalbe big apple from rodalink kuching, one only available.

it depends what you want actually.. leisure, commute, racing, offroad?

If you opt for fast, smaller width like roadbike tire
If you opt for grip, like what you said but you will be slower than those who use smaller width. Again, you might need to pedal harder because it has more contact to the ground.

i managed to insert my dahon and wife's tern into our jazz... but you need to fold down the rear seat to slide in those bikes...

nice .. what is the price for that? anyway.. where can i source out handlepost like that?

may i know why people tend to upgrade the handlebar and the stem rather than using the standard one? what about adding bar end?

-to get more rigid feel
-to change handlebar type, like straight one to dropbar
-to make the bike lighter?

the OEM setup does not feel rigid or it is just our hands itchy most of the time?


well.. after few round of cycles.. i have decided that i need to perform minor mods on my bike especially the gearing.. the feeling of the speed is not enough for me hi hi hi....

latest upgrade. lol

wait. this file is not loading.

Hi guys (and girls), i need to transport a Tern Link D8 on a flight, my plan is to get a box and pack it in folded, with some padding and bubble around the gears. Now the question is to check in as Checked Luggage (fragile) or Sports Equipment, and does it make any difference, priority of course whichever will be handled with more care.

This is cheap, but don't expect much la...
