This Tern Link P24 would be similar to my Speed TR. Both dual drive but Tern uses a Sturmey Archer hub whereas mine uses the SRAM. Ive read that the SA hub is not as good due to slippage and Tern later phased it out and I think gone back to SRAM. I have to say that the SRAM hub is very good.
Looks like you'll have to wait for a second hand one to appear or maybe get something like the Speed P8, or equivalent from Tern.

errm... i'm thinking to get a cheap foldable bicycle ...
saw some on groupon.my from about 300-500+,
are those okay? don't think will go on/off road, I just want ride in my neighborhood *occasionally* as a casual sport. not much expectation as long as it don't kaput for no reason within few years on minor usage will do.

pro pls dun tembak me ahahaha

If you are really into the P24, it actually can be modded from a usual Tern Link. You have to start from the Link off course. The dual drive is still available online and 8 speed usual drive is everywhere. In fact the cost might be even cheaper. Just google SRAM dual drive and check the online sites. On the flip side, if the drive is the prime reason, there's no barring that other frames can be used, eg. Dahon Speed, MU, Falco or even their sister frames from FnHon.

Again, hahaaaha...................Why not the whole 30 speed with the regular FD and FD ? Also this don't make the rear heavy like the Link P24. It's really heavy at the rear. Cheers!

One word says all............No tembakking! Those bikes won't last you a few years.

if so, can u recommend me which type of bike is suitable ?

if possible below 1k

Go for the more reputable brands like Dahon, Tern or even Raleighs which is well within your 1K budget. The Dahon SUV is about RM800 only. Tern is higher, the entry level is 1.4K but the Dahon Route which has similar specs is much cheaper than that. I think you should visit a bike shop and if you are in Klang Valley, go Kimbell Jaya. Stocks most of the brands available, even the MIT, TXed which are hard to come by. Go 'cuci mata' also OK mah!

Thanks for the info! But where can I get Dahon Speed TR? I'be been searching high and low for both tern and dahon but they told me is not available nowadays...

Perhaps are you interested to sell off yours?? *wink! *wink! !

Thanks for the advise but I'm currently in Kuching and am a beginner....So have no idea where and how to start with it...*sob..

thnaks, i will go there and have a look

You are a few years too late! These are all discontinued.

Sell to you? Sure, will cost you both arms and legs seeing that you are in Kuching.

I'm actually from selangor but working in Kuching...So no problem with the postage as can just collect it from peninsula and send it as cargo with me...and good things are hard to find...So if u r really interested to sale pls let me know...

And I do hope u wanna sell it...

I have considered modding but it actually cost too much. SRAM dual drive hub will be at least US250-300 plus shipping, plus shifters.
If you have a contact to get cheap SRAM DD hub, please let me know as I'm interested to get one for my single speed bike.
Thanks!

When SRAM started, they don't have an internal gear division. They then took over SACHS. Those days, only Sturmey Archers and Sachs are the main players. Sturmey Archers is around even when I was riding a Raleigh Chopper 1977 (also 3 speed) and they lasted till today. After SRAM took over Sachs, the price skyrocketed because of their branding and not necessary because of their expertise. So, why limit yourself to a SRAM ?

Sturmey Archers actually have 5 and 8 speed (if I can recall). The 5 speed shares the same interior measurements with the 3 speed. That means if you can buy the 5 speed innards ( probably from UK ), you can fit it into a 3 speed Brompton hub. SO, that converts the 6 speed into 10 speed. Nobody here does that here. I have actually bought an old SA hubs and dis-assembled it and rebuilt it and it is actually not that hard. Alas, Brompton owners don't trust non-Brompton owners to do their precious bikes so I never service for anyone before.

I would rather go for the Shimano Alfine which comes in 8 speed (very cheap nowadays) but the 11 speed would cover more ratios. A cheaper option will be the Shimano Nexus which is 8 speed. Best option of all, I would say IMO is to hunt for a used Rohloff in eBay. 14 speed which covers almost the entire 3 X 9 speed of the conventional FD and RD gearing systems. Also Rohloff are maintenance free!

Cheers!

I found adv this bike today. Anyone here has ride this bike?

JAVA IRA

Hey, I had a Chopper too! Five of us kids used to pile on the bike and we went places, with me doing the cycling! Haha
Yes there are options but I like the combination of cassette and hub. I had an Alfine hub before on two bikes, but it was heavy and there's always one ratio "missing" due to the gaps in the ratios. The SA 5 speed is apparently less reliable than the 3 speed. Funny though, the 3 speed Sachs in my Bromption shifts less smoothly than the current BWR hub, but the SRAM DD 3 speed is just as good plus you have the benefit of playing with more ratios to suit, and the hub is lighter. Rohloff would be amazing but the weight......

another weekend

project rebuild 2016 :: wheelset & tyre



its kenda 1.2 semi slick tyre

Ok, not sure if there's any interest for a Dahon Stow bag? I have a brand new one. These were US$140 which means they cost the same as some bikes!

These are nicely padded and thick. Is that good value for money? You'll have to decide. But please do not compare these with what you find on Taobao ok?

Asking US$110

Hi... I own a java IRA. It's a nice bike to ride. However, the cassette are using 11 to 25, it's not so good in climbing hill but it's really smooth in changing gear.
