QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 21 2015, 12:05 PM) Since the Dahon Vybe C7A is on the list, take that. No arguments there since it is already in the list. The Raleigh Ugo is also good but you won't have regrets wit the Dahon Vybe. Thanks for the suggestion. Erm, another issue that I would like to know more, 16" and 20" punya pros and cons. Is that riding for long distance and long time, 16" will not be comfortable and not that efficient which include slight hilly area? Thank you. Regards, full |

QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 21 2015, 04:09 PM) There are pros and cons. 16 incher is easier to ride uphill but quite twitchy when rolling downhill fast. You need to get use to it. The fold is obviously more compact than the regular 20 inch. Another cons of 16 inch is the limited tire choice. We were on a ride over 2 days once and included in our group was a 16 incher , an FNHon which I assembled and the rider is an elderly lady and she covered 214km with us. So, 16 or 20, it depends on your preference. Bear in mind also the 16 inch mentioned is also 20 speed so it can be upgraded too just as the 20 inch. The 20 inch on the other hand, is a more stable ride and parts and spares are more easily available. Still I feel you should go for the regular 20 inch if storage and fold compactness is not the main criteria. Just like folding speed, it is never an important reason to choose over which foodie for me because I don't mind taking 10 minutes to fold a bike. Yes, folding speed is not my concern as well. Currently I'll be eyeing on Vybe, as the top of the list.. Anyway, how do you think on the XDS FA16? Or any other 16" which is good to go with? Thank you. Regards, full |

QUOTE(Vcys86 @ Feb 8 2015, 06:47 PM) hello sifus here.. i wtb a bike for casual cycling (mostly on road, like those open cycle day, KL car free day, etc) .. can sifus here suggest which type of bike i should buy for a beginner please? How much budget should I prepare for? Any difference between foldie and normal full bike? Just 1 is more portable? Sorry for all the questions. Hope to hear from sifus here soon! So beautiful Dahon!!! I bought a 14" folding bike recently as my 18-year-old MTB was stoled about a month ago... I just cycle in taman and nearby, maybe around area of 500m radius. 14" is convenient to carry up the shop lot for "safe keeping" and cycling around. The downside is much bumpy than normal size, 20" and above. If folding mechanism is not important to you, you may get a non-folding bike with better spec at similar price. Happy to get a folding bike and can carry to other places for cycling. Will get a 20" XDS or Dahon down the road for long journey cycling... Thank you. Regards, full |

QUOTE(180jin @ Feb 13 2015, 04:32 PM) 800 - 1k budget is a good starting price. Geometric has a folding bike with 8 speed SRAM X4 components going for RM 850 at Keen To Cycle at Sunway Mentari, the frame looks like Dahon Vigor P9's Otherwise Trinx KA2016 or XDS AFB 280 are good choices also. Yes yes... I saw this geometric 8 speed sram x4 in ipoh too. Very nice an solid. It is one of the best for the same price range. Thank you. Regards, full |
