Dahon MU looks good. Dahon vigor and MU, any opinion?

where is Kimbell Jaya? they do posting?

u bought the speed with dropbar right?that one has change the handlepost. all speed p8 comes with adjustable telescopic handlepost

Ya..it came with dropbar.the tbar and dropbar is quite sturdy anyway.

seems like it was changed.i wonder what brand it is.sked if it is some low quality china stuff

No worries lah. Yet to hear any post failing, even 'chokia' ones. My guess if he modded to dropbar, most probably will be a good one. There are many who wants like yours and changed their telescopic ones because rigid ones are , as mentioned more rigid!

Any source to get the head post other that online? Any shop at kiang valley selling them?
There's an option to choose to fold inner and outer right?

so far, the fixed handlepost (non telescopic) are better than adjustable coz of the stiffness and rigid.besides, urs are fold outside right?i think the owner had mod it for easier fold with dropbar..

AFAIK, the fixed handlepost are all good one. not some cheap and lousy one.

i had ask billybike shop and he said can oder the handlepost. the problem when u choose fold out one theres no telescopic, either t-bar type org qr but got height either 29cm, 35cm or 39cm. while the telescopic one all fold inside.

the price is above rm150. maybe jimmy from kimbell jaya can oder for u..

Hi anyone can anyone identify what type of bike is this for me and the estimate cost of it.



it looks like a foldable bike but its not.

Parts are evanda, XDS, Shimanos, one 3 four, not sure what the model is.

Got it as a gift.

if u can see xds then is xds brand, evanda is the company tht put xds together...

style is something like this...



go bbs look for minivelo with the same spec, then u can agak the price...

remember to sell cheaper so ppl will wana buy...

Anyone's been here yet? Got any offers for foldies?

Im at kimbell now..

Bought myself dahon speed d8 for less than 2k!!

Woohoo!!

hi thanks man, i couldnt get an accurate price, because they mesh the thing alltogether into 1 piece.

I never use this bike for long rides but I did a 60 kilometer ride and my whole body is aching and also my butt is splitting. The size is wrong and it was not really suitable for my usage. Anyone wants to take over let me know. The frame is 3 years old, chromoly but most of the components are used for like, like...........5 rides

Possible swapping if you have a Giant hardtail mtb.

Sifu and Sifu's..... My Dahon Speed D8 is now more than a year. looking at upgrade and need help here in term of cost.

Current original using SRAM x7, 8 speed.

Which would be a better enjoyment ride. Based on original, mainly use gear 7-8, not much usage on 1-6 so need more 9,10,11......

1. To change double chainring in front to have 16 gears.
a) front chainring set
b) new front shifter
c) apa lagi....

2. To change cassette from 8 to 11 (ultegra 6800)
a) chain
b) rear shifter
c) apa lagi....

lastly boil down to cost also, which of the above set up would be cheaper or same same.

Thanks.

U ride primarily 7-8..? Presumably that's the larger side of cogs...and u need more large cogs?...Either u are riding uphill most of the time...or u prefer spinning a lot without moving much...or I may have gotten the wrong meaning of ur post.

What etigge suggested on option 1 looks tempting to me as well...as my set up is like urs too..

Daheck..my one week old speed d8 use acera..why spec different aa..

Can add oni chainring ka sifu..I asked one reputable kedai in melaka say cannot..dem.

If you see 5 bolts on your chainring, then it is possible just to add another smaller chainring. Don't mistake the mountain bike chainring which has 4 bolts and the newer roadbike also have 4 bolts.

For those who wants to upgrade their front gears to double chianrings or triple for that matter BUT don't want to get a new pair of shifters, you can actually buy those cheapo shifters usually found on China made bikes with lousy shifters. USually the 200 bucks or 300 bucks mountain bikes. That is if you don't mind 'chapalang' look on your handlebar.

Many, many years ago.............when road bike went 3 or 4 or 5 gears, they have this shifter on the bottom tube, yes at the bottom tube and then they moved it to the stem area, like what is used on the Nexus steel mini velo now. Those days, shifters are not indexed......meaning they just pull or release the cable with NO indents or stops. You have to adjust the length yourself judging from the RD's movement. That goes the same way when they started the FD and triple chainrings. The pull is also limited to the space between the FDs or RDs limiting screws.

My point is, those cheap shifters on the China made bikes, although looks like triggers, they are still without indexing. So, you can actually buy that cheap shifter and use it on the front chainrings. Just limit the distance on the FDs and the amount of pull and release on the cheap shifter will also limit. Afterall, it only 2 speed and only a small pull or release, not really release actually, you need to shift the other way.

Do you need higher gears? ie to go faster? If so why bother with double front chainrings? You just need a bigger chainring, say 56t or 60t. That way you are sacrificing lower gears for higher gears.
You wont need to go Ultegra RD unless youve got money to burn. Tiagra or 105 will do the job and you wont notice any difference.

If you want more lower gears. ie climbing, then refer to sifu's comments.
