woit taiping got duranos? how much lah..

as for the tbe just make sure when the unkle pasang properly not folding inside, else that may cause puncture.. but as long as you follow the pressure guideline then it should not be a problem..

Very isolated case mebe... if it happen to a tern owner sure they will complain ...

Hello, I am not experienced like these 2 sifus etigge and H2D, but I am also researching for my own bike and learn some about the pricing. I think 1200 for java tt is expensive even they throw you some free stuff, i think actually u r paying for that stuff. Because i look around n java tt is around 8++ only. I am on mobile so bit hard to find link for you, in bicyclebuysell.com i think there is one from bicycle malaysia. Unless they r quoting u for java pro 451, then the price is apt.
Dont look for price in usjcycle, their price is always higher than everybody. I use usjcycle website to look for model, their specs and then find the price elsewhere.
Btw, Ive went to shops and feel the java pro n raleigh ugo. I feel that the java is better n sturdier, i dont know how they ride tho coz havent ride them.

Btw etigge, when you reccomended me that time for vybe c7a, i search high n low for it, nobody has it, even kimbell jaya, the last i spoke with them. It was about 3 weeks ago if not mistaken, but most said it's last year model so they dont hv it anymore. I didnt get to buy from frankie too as he sold it already that time. So i guess, one hv to look for this year's vybe.  For this year the only Dahon under 1k is the SUV D6 which is on the heavy side n not so compact if you need the compact one. It cost rm8++

Go back to Jimmy and get a set of wheels. Since you said the seal bearing makes a lot of difference, it should actually.    Then you can go for either 8, 9 or 10 speed. For 8 speed you can still use back the old rear derailleurs. You just need the shifters and cassette. A Shimano Accera systems should be OK but nothing stopping you to go for better ones. I suggest MTB gears as they are cheaper and they have bigger rear cassette. Easy to ride    I must warn you though, 9 or 10 speed, the biggest a 20 inch wheel can take is 32 teeth at the rear. Happy riding!

Yes he does. Even Lite Pro ones can be ordered but sometimes he has stock.

happy weekend everyone!
hope these weekend we can burn more calories with our bike.if anyone enter the kampar majesty ride, see u soon on sunday!

vans urban carry wheelsport wheelset.so far,the wheelset is good,but the price also good

Anything from Vans, the price is good!    Else how to pay rental for that property. Hahahaaa.

PS/ for the same price I rather go for the Lite Pro , the lesser spokes set, same as Kinetix. 

Call Jimmy from Kimbell Jaya. Maybe he can whatsapp the pictures to you. He can courier it to you. He has other brands as well.

its been a while didnt post picture

Hi,

Anyone are using schwalbe durano tyres? Is it good? I'd there any other recommendations other than this tyre? I'm looking for 20" 451 tyres
My main concern is comfort and performance in stopping.

I have both Durano and Marathon on my bikes.  Marathon are much better suited to normal riding even on gravel tracks.  I doubt Duranos can outlast Marathons.

For me I would prefer more puncture protection than speed.  I may be slower, but if you get a puncture, I'll overtake you! 

To mod the Tern C7 to 18 or 20 speed, you have to change the wheelsets as well. You can change the hubs alone if you want to save but the rims are also not a good one. Usually they pair the rims with single walled rims which are soft and broad as well. You can't fit the Duranos or any narrow tires on it. So, it makes better sense to just change the whole wheelset. A sealed bearing set can be had for RM400 , give and take 50 bucks. As for 18 speed or 20 speed, that depends on you.

For 18 speed, it means 11T/32T or 34T rear cassette (cogs) and you can use mountain bike RDs. This means shifters, chains and RDs are aplenty to choose from. The front most definitely be road bike set up. A 52T or 53T/39T chainrings. You can't find mountain bike FDs that can fit the big diameter seat tube anyway. So, roadbike FDs are used. It will be much cheaper, but not much.

For a 20 speed, means you use roadbike components all over. 10 speed mountain bike components are already 34T or 36T for the rear cogs which are a bit big as the cage of the RD will hit the ground. So, roadbike components are more suited for 10 speed. The biggest is 30T at the rear which should suffice for a 20 inch foldie. It will cost a little bit more, namely the Shimano Tiagra is the cheapest 10 speed outfit, then comes the Shimano 105s and then Ultegras and off course the top Dura Aces. All the latest models of the top 3 models are now 11 speed already and that requires different hubs,    Unless you can find older versions, I guess you have no choice.

I did manage to fit in 10 speed SRAM X5 mountain bike components on the 20 inch foldie though as SRAM X5 RD has a shorter cage. Also you need to shorten the length of the chain in such a way that when you engage the lowest 36T, the cage is pulled to the front and not vertical to the ground. This makes going uphills .........hyper easy.  But shifting is not as crisp as the Shimanos. Other than that, it's fun. Roadbike components are designed to shift very smoothly. They are precision gears. I ride mountain bikes with Shimano XTs and they are not even comparable to Shimano 105s when gear shifting. Maybe it is also due to the small ratio changes.

It's going to cost as much as what you paid for the Tern but buying a ready made Tern with similar specs are even much more pricier. So, be prepared for that. 

11-32 better go for medium cage rd.previously my friend also had mod the sram x9 medium cage to his bike.the ground clearence to rd are very close.if u using the 451 wheelset the long cage rd can fit.my friend using the deore long cage rd with cogset 13-34 on his mongoose.
price wise, trinx ka2016d are much better compare to java decaf..

A medium cage one unit can handle 32T already with the B-tension adjust almost at the maximum. Usually short caged rear derailleurs are road bike ones, MTBs are usually long cage with some medium cage.

2 of my friend using 11-36 10speed casette

one using the medium cage on 406 (shimano 8speed for roadie - below sora spec), few tuning on the chain and the rd nearly touch the ground

one person using shimano deore long cage rd with 451 wheelset and also fit.the rd also near to the ground but never touch it.

but for me 32t is the max for folding even on 451.u can used 11-32 10speed casette.if im not mistaken sram has it (that time im scouting for 11-28 10speed casette) but those casette are really hard to find nowdays..

recomended 32t@30t with medium cage, 34t@36t with long cage.but i do notice 1 think, the long cage rd shift slower that the shortcage..

all of my bike using the shortcage rd, even my speed p8 with 12-30t casette.

my 2 cents

My wife's velo and my Dash uses the Tiagra 12/30T cassette. Both of us were suing 11/28T (maximum for 105s and Ultegras) but then after riding Genting Peras, it's more convenient to use the lower grade Tiagras which is the only one that has 12/30T cassette. It's does not matter to us, sacrificing the 11T as it is not usually used anyway. A ratio lower using the 30T is more used actually for climbing. One or even better 2 ratios lower will save your butt when climbing when it is our age! 

Off course, unlees you want to invest in the latest 11 speed 105s or Ultegras which has 11/32T. Hahahaa. 

not so hardcore, just cyclist marhaein only

The 305s are more popular here to to the fact that it is the same size as those kiddy bicycles. Even that the tires are limited to 1.75 only and those who want 1.5 or 1.25 need to get it with a little effort. Worst still, inner tubes for the narrower sizes are even harder to come by, they need to compress the 1.75 tubes into the 1.25 tires. Cycling has gain quite some momentum worldwide and developed countries like Singapore and Korea (which has almost finished their cycling lanes) got on with it really fast. Malaysia wise can't even give motorcyclist their specific lanes let alone bicycles  Maybe they think 'car free day' is the way to go!
