the best lighting are still those using normal battery..
I used 2 cateye on both my bike.. if halfway run out of power..can still buy at any 7/11 or mamak stalls.. I used to use those rechargeable creek lighting..but always forgot to charge.. ohh.. I strongly recommend install an air horn on your bike..very useful.. even my mtb I also installed 1.. This post has been edited by myak9: Feb 20 2014, 12:47 AM |

QUOTE(Ghosthunter @ Feb 20 2014, 09:28 AM) Thanks, for 1.5k you can get a 2nd hand dahon speed p8..I forgot to mention that i have tested a VOLCANO Folding bike, 21 speed bike at Taman Melawati yesterday which was for Rm850.00,but since i never heard of VOLCANO bike before , i walked away , but i am still open to opinions, if anyone cares to share his/her experience on this. many say the UGO seems better , i may spend slightly more to get a better folding bike as i believe its money well invested , but i need experienced forum members help here in what may be a better bike and where i can get it at..my budget is 1.5K Anyone , thanks...   there are a few for sale... http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/item/226214/...-dahon-speed-p8 http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/item/216415/dahon-folding-bike |

QUOTE(ozzy79 @ Feb 21 2014, 10:45 AM) Anyone here can comment on Dahon Boardwalk D8 vs Tern Link D8 vs Dahon Speed P8 vs Dahon Mu P8? you can look for the answer on V2..All 8-speed, though there are differences in price due to diff parts. Question is, are the "better" parts on the pricier models worth the extra diff in price? as etigge has gone through the vs on those bikes.. This post has been edited by myak9: Feb 21 2014, 05:45 PM |

QUOTE(sepat @ Mar 10 2014, 12:48 PM) that's very informative indeed ..thanks etigge if it's dahon single speed.. ... i thought every models are standard in every countries..  .. every now and then i am in love with this bike ... thought a bit too old to ride it but the first time i paddled the bike made me recalled my childhood time .. yup etigge ... i was hunting for tern link D8 actually and all of sudden i saw this p9 at their showroom.. love at the first sight..  so i poison my wife kaw2 for the D8 which she was thinking something cheaper (dahon basic range single speed .. forgot the model) ..she felt that it was a waste to buy such expensive bike until she ride it .. and now she cant stop laughing with the fun of having the bike at the first place.. than it will be dahon mu uno.. it's a coaster brake bike.. I have 1.. very fun to ride.. the riding experience is totally difference as you need to back paddle to stop the bike.. you will learn to skid brake.. only 1 thing though.. I am too used to back paddle now.. I crash my MTB during my sunday ride.. |

QUOTE(sepat @ Mar 10 2014, 05:03 PM) back paddle to stop the bike? was that going to spoil your cassette? .. It's a coaster brake hub..where you have to back paddle to lock the hub and brake..btw, any broken parts on your mtb? hopefully everything is intact (i guess i dont need to ask your condition first ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tch8ZeaDyVw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2yzNK2dOp0 This post has been edited by myak9: Mar 11 2014, 01:02 PM |

QUOTE(sepat @ Mar 14 2014, 07:12 PM) i get the idea.. i thought that as well since my ride most of the time will be on flat road .. having said that .. speed is something i need to consider too.. well.. i am quite new in this hobby but appreciate your explaining then .. if I am not mistaking.. you are riding a Dahon Vigor P9..anyway upgrading crank set will increase the speed to how many % from the current anyway? just upgrade the crank and the rest maintain in oem condition will do? correct me..  the front crank is already 52T.. if you want more speed.. you can change the rear gear set to road.. then come again.. why do you need to cycle sooo fast.. as we al know.. foldies are meant to makan..makan..and jalan..jalan.. as for fitness sake.. like me.. I choose single speed so that I can cycle more faster if I need speed..this will make my heart pump faster.. if I need to climb (only on moderate slope ) I just have to train harder so that I dun have to push my bike and been tease by my friends.. if I really need speed.. I will ride my MTB with sora cassette.. during my school days..me and my friends used to cycle round Penang Island with only 12speed racer.. for me if I can do it then..I think I still can do it if I train hard.. |

QUOTE(Kokomin @ Apr 9 2014, 08:01 PM) I am interested in the Dahon Speed Uno. Foldie fans in the US claimed this bike is the ultimate minimalist bike. I cannot find any discussion of this bike in any local online forum. One dealer in Dahon bikes claimed it is not available to the Malaysian market. Price at Amazon.com is USD399. Any info from anyone here? I dun think there are any speed uno here in malaysia.. but there are a few 2012 mu uno here..http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/item/218527/...folding-bicycle |

QUOTE(Kokomin @ Apr 13 2014, 05:25 PM) 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..
