What do you bicycle connoisseurs reckon on the Tern B7?

I'm looking for something under under 1.5k with a dependable frame for commuting.

compare a litepro 16“ with my 20" wheelsport?

hahaha, dont know yet bro.my wheelsport already moded the hub when i bought. besides,those litepro wheelset also didnt mount yet on my next 16" project bike.

almost all my wheelset i modified the hub (change more higher rpm bearings).

u can pm billybikeshop @ taiping for the price.i bought from him..

p/s: those litepro rim is 305 and not like brompton 349

Depends on how much stuff you want to carry. The front rack is lower to the ground so you can only have smaller panniers. Once loaded up, the front will have a heavier feel obviously. If you have a touring rack at the back, I'd rather use that. If not and the smaller pannier suits, it's ok too.

If the bike is only single speed, then you are unlikely to have a rear derailleur mount. Easiest would be to get a hub gear, maybe a three speed and they will give you a wider range. I have a modern single speed and I can get to most places, so you'll need to know where you ride and accept its limitations.

I think I can guess what the project is. Should be very nice

I was also getting a price from Billy for some tyres. Didn't know he has wheelsets too. What brand are the ones you've bought? His prices good?

i also bought a pair of tyre from billy for that litepro wheelset. i bought kenda 1.2 tyre from him around rm80/pair if i can recall it right.that wheelset cost around rn4++

forgot already the exact price,but as a regular customer and a good friend,for sure got special price from billy

What hub do upgrade to?

hahahah, i didnt change the hub. i change the internal seal bearings / bearings to the higher rpm type of bearings.

that one, i cant do it for myself.my friend do it for me

the cost are much cheaper than changing the whole hub, but twice the performance!

Can share ur friend contact number hahaha

the question is, are you willing to travel up to ipoh to do it?

i think major old bikeshop know how to do it.basicly this method already been done by many rb cyclist/rb pomen long time ago. the different is nowdays, roadbike wheelset manufacturer (branded and good one) does sell their hub bearing spareparts for upgrade..

I m about to buy used Dahon MU p8, any thing shud I pay attention to during inspection? Ur advice is highly appreciated.

billy shop got many choice for 451 wheelset?
if so, can singgah when blk kpg nanti..

just check the folding mechanism only

i dont think he keep stock.maybe can oder if u know what model

Would u rather buy new Tern Link B7 at 1360 or used MU P8 at 1200? For me newbie the entry link b7 look tempting but MU P8 got better spec right?

i would go for mu p8 of coz!

Salam guys & sifus!

I ride mtb, but now i nak layan folding bike. Can ride rileks2 & selfies...

Can you all give an opinion for this bike:

Dahon Vigor D9 - Tern Verge P9 - Java Fit 16s - or other bikes suggestion price below 3k.

I would definitely buy a used higher end model rather than a new entry model. You get better/nicer parts. It is only a bicycle, so don't worry if it is a few years old. Make sure the frame is not damage, hinges ok, and everything else is adjustable.

You buy a entry model, then upgrade, you will definitely over-spend and definitely lose money.

Looking at the specs, this bike is likely to be low geared. The 7 speed may be more difficult to upgrade if it is a freewheel and not cassette. Best to go for a test ride and see if it can handle the speed you are likely to travel at.

vigor p9 all da way!! if i can afford more, and why not verge p9

Hi, to all the situation, I'm a beginner here. May I know where to get Tern Link P24h in Malaysia? Or can you recommend any other touring bike? As I have no idea at all...million thanks!
