damn!......no jalan for me to buy this!!

went to one of the shop in Setapak, they have a folding bike brand "Mongoose". Anyone know how it the quality of that brand?

from what i knew, Mongoose previously known to produce BMX, not folding.

tq in advance for your feedback.

Im interested to get a dash..im 170cm tall. Should i get m size of l size?

Hi guys,

Is Dahon eezz D3 2015 already available here in Malaysia?
Any estimation price?

i have one friend using mongoose (the red bike),

as for now, he just change the saddle.

for the price, i think it's not bad

I would say M. Best to give it a try. You may have a longer torso/shorter legs or the other way around.

i used to own mongoose before.
bought for rm780 at that time (that is 2 or 3 years ago) and now the price as low as rm700 and above with good built quality.you will find a bit different on the handle post compare to other.it use riser type of handlebar,screw type of stem-not quick release like other, BUT that is not a big problem for me lah!

the main point i dislike about mongoose package is the wheelset and crank
the wheelset is 451 with 34spoke if im not mistaken (hard to find replacement hub without changing the wheelset) and it used freewheel hub.means u will stuck at 8speed freewheel cogs.cranks also if im not mistaken 46t max with triple plate chainring.its useless to use the smallest one since you on 20" bike.i think those crank are for mtb setup most folding bike will equip with roadbike size crank (48t and above).

you need extra cost to mod it and the cost to mod these 2 things nearly the same price you bought your mongoose folding bike.oh ya, got another model name naxxus identical to mongoose.its the same,just rebranding.if u just buy for easy leisure ride,its ok lah.but if u are planning to upgrade the gearset system, please keep in mind that the cost will be double


and this is my mongoose,heavily moded

i would strongly suggest you go for trinx ka2016 or ka2016d (d is for diskbrake version with 406 wheelset,non-d is a vbrek with 451 wheelset) over the mongoose since here in Ipoh the price for trinx starting from rm850-950.i heard in KL trinx model priced as low as rm1.1k

Hmm any recommendation on which shop i can get a proper testing on the bike? Most shop dont allow testing. If i do get a test ride, what do i do or how should i know if the bike fits me? Any particular or correct way i should position myself on the bike?

Other members here will have to help you as I'm not familiar with the KL bike scene. The Dash will accept different length stem therefore you should be able to fine tune. One of my bikes was giving me a back-ache after riding, and swapping to a shorter stem fixed the problem.

What about this??? Just found advert. Don't know the person or business.

got many of these fitters, from shop to private indv, retul, use laser, etc etc... to ppl use pro frm mcf...

Hi Sifu etigge,

Due to the folding style, I been told to adjust the top extension to the max. so every time when i fold the bike i need to adjust the the top extension, and I not really like the handle bar too high when I ride.

Yesterday I take our the screw to stop the top extension to fall out and is screw to the missing place and add some sticker to the gap, and now it only move around 1 to 2 mm.

but the handlebar might drop out if the qr is release. at least now i have a sample to show to the shopper for a accurate screw when i go buy.

Big thanks for the help!

After riding i have lower back sore as well. No adjustment can be made on my bike handle bar so i guess can only adjust the seat post height and saddle angle.
Dont think i wana consult bike fitter..im just a casual rider haha.
As for the dash..really eager to get one now. Went to kesas ride yst and those thin tayar bike can really zoom..

You are riding a Vybe right? Is your seat higher than the handlebar? If not, you are sitting in a more relaxed upright position already. Is the saddle pushed too far back? Make sure it is level too and not angled.

Riding a link. Seat used to be lower but some sifu tought me way to get correct seat height so now my seat post is adjusted higher than how i usually ride. Its actually almost the handle bar height..i cant even tip toe when bike is verticle.

Bro..would you be interested in a pre-loved Dr Hon Dash P18 2013? Bought it sometime in Jan last year but couldn't give it much love as most of my riding time is spent on my other bikes (Birdy Deore LX/XT - folding, Cervelo One - rb, KHS Alite 1000 - mtb).

I'm thinking of putting it up on BBS but would settle for a quick sell if there are offers. My asking price would be RM1.8k negotiable with a few accessories thrown in (Topeak Bar n' Mirror bar end, Wellgo M111 QRD pedals, Avid FR5 brake levers-not yet installed).

The Dash is gathering dust now as the rear tube is punctured. Condition is 9/10 with some minor scratches and paint chipping plus wear & tear. Would post pics of the bike but I don't have any recent ones. The only one I got is the pic below from May 2013 of me riding it in Avanti Pahlawan Charity Ride (pic courtesy of Mr Sin Tai Lim's blog - Happy Happy)



I'm currently outstation and will only be back in KL on Thursday. Can meet up at Desa Park City as I live near the area. Do PM me if you are interested!

Ugpm

Well, did your back hurt before you raised the seat? If not, that's the answer. That sifu way sounds right, but you may not be as flexible perhaps. I would try lowering the seat an inch and see what happens. If that works and you may even want to get yourself an adjustable stem. That way you can have the seat height correct and increase the height of the handlebar so you are more upright. I'm no expert, but that's how I would tackle it.

Already replied your pm. So you'll have the first right of refusal of my Dash then before it goes on bbs. Cheers bro!
