Hi does anyone know where I can get the price for a Dahon Boardwalk D8 or a Tern Link D8? And if yes approximately what's the price? Thanks in advance!

Ah damn! Maybe it's not sold yet? Haha

Ah thanks for your recommendations! Ya oyama seems like a pretty decent affordable bike, will consider.

Where in putrajaya do you cycle?

Ah cool! I'm looking for places to cycle in putrajaya. Because normally when I cycle around the lake near
Monument alaf baru, the ride is a extremely bumpy because of the pavement

Hello sifus! Got a noob question here. For the past few months my neos derailleur on my tern link d8 has been giving me problems with shifting and a noisy drivetrain. Brought it to Johnny MBS to have a look and he changed my cable housing but he said I should consider changing the RD as it's kinda work out or lost tension or something. Then brought it to pedal spot ss2 as well and they said my chain is loose and replaced the chain as well. It's slightly better now but the drivetrain I still not as responsive as it used to be and while pedaling on certain gears I get a 'tsk tsk' sound. The guy from pedal spot also commented that the RD is not working well either.
I bought the bike in sept last year so it's less than a year. It is possible to send the bike back for warranty to have the RD replaced or will they not cover this kind of wear and tear for warranty?
Bought the bike from Vans Urban PJ.
Thanks in advance!

Ya RD is the rear derailleur that helps your bike shift gears. It's located at the rear wheel. Terryble, the tern link d8 is actually a very nice bike. I like it's solid and stiff frame, plus it looks pretty darn good hehe. I highly recommend it especially as a beginner bike, you won't need to upgrade for a long time.

Zeliustitan : ya maybe I should just talk to YC and see how it goes. Probably go next Monday or something

Ok thanks for the advice !

Hey just out if curiosity how much YC quote you for the tern d8. I heard this year the price is rm2080. Is he giving any freebies? Like helmet, bottle cage, lights etc

Ya the tern d8 is way more bang for your buck than the c7. First of all, you get the Physis handlepost and the N-fold, which isn't available in the c7. You get a nicer looking SRAM grip shifter as well and the looks overall are just better haha. Not to mention Schwalbe citizen tyres. It's pretty much the cheapest of the tern range with better stuff

Ah I see.. It's the exact same deal my friend got when he bought his D8. They will probably give you some INFINI lights, silverline helmet and some saddle bag. Bear in mind it's kinda cheap stuff actually. If you're not particular about accessories then just go for it.
If you rather hand pick your own accessories then try to ask for a discount and tell him you don't want any of the freebies (you will end up spending more though lol!)

The helmet is ok for normal use. A helmet is still a helmet so it doesn't really matter as long as the clips are good and it feels comfortable.
Ya I think everyone wears helmets every time they cycle. I know I do!
When I bought the bike last year they gave a nutcase helmet which i really like cause of the comfortable straps and the magnetic buckle. It's a bit hot though due to lack of air holes (sounded wrong lol)

Just got back a ride. The drivetrain seems a lot smoother and there isn't much clicking anymore. I think the drivetrain has sort of 'broken in' wit the new chain!
Yahoo

All the best and congrats! What colour are you getting?

Ah black and blue.. The flagship colour I guess for d8 (usually shown in websites).
Albert is a nice guy and he's real friendly. He doesn't even work there, he's just a friend of the shop who helps out around a lot.

Have no experience with locking a foldie so can't help you there sorry. But I think what people do is that they fold the bike and lock both wheels together.

A big thanks to etigge for offering to replaced rear derailleur with a SRAM x4 he had lying around, and he even gave me a grip shifter (from a link p9 I think) to go with it. Now the bike's shifting is really smooth and rides like a dream

Yeah terryble, Albert is a lawyer by profession actually but he hangs around the shop a lot and yeah he is really diligent is explaining and promoting (aka poisoning lol)

Haha look at it this way. When people see u riding with a helmet, how would they know if you came from 100 metres away or 20 km away?
