May I know what is the common size that is allowed into train e.g. KTM etc? 16" is just too small for my size and if possible, I wanted to get something like 26" like Hummer foldies.

i tink thers no restriction on sizes as long as it is a folding bike
de ony problem is dat they insisted dat u must bagged de bike to permit u n ur bike inside de ktm coach
while it is easier to find or to bagged any 20" folding bike or below
its harder if its any bigger
unless u already had de bike bag when u bought it
or made a custom bag for it
dat is all to worry when using de ktm icon_rolleyes.gif

To the experts here, if I can get hold of a used dahon chromoly bike, stripped everything and then mod it like the Dahon Speed Uno, will it be easily done or will there be a lot of hassles about finding compatible components?

If u intend to do that get the parts first and after that the bike ..then start building your bike... afraid you might have trouble to source the parts

That is even riskier. I'm sure Dahon or Tern will make it very very hard for us to mod their cheaper bike to Speed Uno, Mu Uno or Link uno. You will end up frustrated trying. And after spending money, time, sweat and tears you start convincing yourself that the present asking price is real real cheap.

Ok la, I'll wait till the end of the year. By then maybe someone will bring in the Dahon Speed Uno at a more reasonable price...

Dahon or Tern chromoly bikes from rm1000 - rm5000, is there a big difference in the frame? Or is the price difference mostly the components? Frame only, which is the best frame, value for money, between these price point? I know this is almost impossible to answer. But I don't mind some kedai kopi discussion. Hehe

to those of you who are interested in coaster hub bike..
do learn and think carefully about coaster brake hub..
it's totally different cycling experiences from normal or single speed bike..
it's more like fixie..
fun and easy to maintain..the only cons will be if you stay on hilly area..

http://sheldonbrown.com/singlespeed.html

some do asked me why I like coaster brake bikes..as cons are more than pros..hey..I am a simple person and I dun like complicating things..even my MTB.. I also used 9 speed only..
if one day I regret or thinking of changing to a geared bike..I still can mod my bike..

you can convert a geared bike to coaster bike..just change the hub and get rid of all the shifter and cable..
coaster hub are easy to purchase via some local shop and online shop..a lot of Schwinn Cruiser used coaster brake hub.. you can scout from there.. icon_idea.gif

Hi sifus,
Planning to buy my first foldies and I'm thinking to get XDS AFB 320. Looking up in few bicycle shops, but seems like they dont have any XDS.
Anyone know where can I get it?

Oh, btw I'm also considering Raleigh Ugo. Any comments between the XDS and Raleigh?

Try JBS shop at jalan genting kelang. Same roll with kenny rogers. Better get XDS or polygon urbano 3.0

Hi, I am a newbie to this forum. Like etigge post above...

Love to hear if any bro/sis have done that and hopefully can provide feedback about the ride with this combination.

Am eyeing the Dahon Vigor P9 to upgrade to 105 5700 shimano group-set however with a Tiagra SL4600 flat bar shifter as 105 does not rclxub.gif have a flat bar shifter.
