when you fold the bike.. did the bar end touch any of the frame part which delay your folding process?

What?? Albert is not even a staff there?
he has been showing me around for more than an hour and diligently explain every details of each bike to me and my friend came across...and let us test all the brommies they have...

By the way...i have successfully completed my first ride at Taman Pertanian, a really great ride with the D8 i must say~~

But i do notices a few problem..not sure if it is common with new bikes~~hope the experts here can help explain a bit..

1) when lightly pulling the front breaks...there are some sharp metallic friction sound coming from the front...(none for the back...tested multiple times), this sounds goes away when i pull the breaks hard....

2) the gear shifting are great and smooth~~even newbie like me has no problem with it.....BUT....i notice upon shifting to gear 5, 6 ,7 (no chance to try 8th gear yet) the chain (or something from below)  produce a squeaky sound at one point...like every cycle it squeaks once...none of the sound appear on lower gears...

3) i am not sure if this is linked to problem no.2...when pushing the bike slowly consistently...there is also a squeaky sound coming from the front...

Hope you guys could feedback...probably sending it back to Van's for a service/tuning tomorrow evening..

check your headset if it's wobbly .. my best experience with van's .. i bought a d8 .. ride for 1 week .. experience headset prob .. sent to them to check it out .. few days later they called me to inform faulty headset and gave me a brand new bike ... very happy .. then i sold the bike and bought a jetstream lol

yep all folding bikes have their pros and cons
buy something that will fit ur need
below is my opinion based on what i've tried

tern verge p20 = quality parts , fast (nice hill climb) & compact fold but ride is a bit upright due to tall handle-post ( wanted eclipse p18 there's space constrains - 3 bikes = 1 small myvi sad.gif )

jetstream = best hentam saja bike (can go anywhere) suspension really nice .. less vibration on stony roads .. not that fast and only 1 colour

dash p18 = fast (nice hill climb) feels like full size road bike (best) but non compact fold

brompton M6L= nice cilok bike ( maneuver in small & tight places like cars in traffic ) small & compact fold but not fast (need strong legs to climb) .. very expensive can buy 2 of the above bikes for a price of brompton. Hate the pentaclip thingy on the seatpost

pink bike = er nevermind
