I am newbie in folding bike. I have an offer by people on Dahon Vybe D7 2015. Its stated new and got it as gift, letting go at RM1000, is it good offer?

Meanwhile, may i know what to check when we dealing with the seller.
Need pro advice.

vybe got 2 models. one is vybe d7s and vybe d7a where the a stands for alloy and s stands forr steel. an alloy version had an option to upgrade the rear deraillieur.

nevertheless,
i bought my previous vybe c7a new before for rm1k last 3 years ago.try negotiate at least rm850 for a good buy!

the common things to check is the folding parts and gears.thats all!

is the vybe d7a more expensive than vybe d7s?
is 850 consider too lowball?er

To be fair, RM850 is already a good price, for the seller ( if it is a Vybe C7a) ...that is. If he refuse, then he can keep the bike. Regardless whether some seller says, ............." won from a lucky draw",,,,,,,,,,,," rode twice only".............."bought the wrong size" etc.etc, the price is still a used one. If the Vybe is won from a lucky draw , most probably it is a Vybe C7s. It's the heavier ones and used to be sold for less than 1K formerly. The C7a is an extra RM200 to RM300 more.

Let's put it this way, why buy from another person if I can spare a little more for a new one and with the guarantee from a shop. If it much less, then it worthy right.

They said it was Dahon Vybe D7. But never mention it was D7a or D7s.
Is Vybe C7a / C7s same as Vybe D7?

Like another forummer said before, the difference is the material used. One is aluminum which is lighter and the other is steel, hence the prefix 's' or 'a'. You need to find out yourself as we don't have a picture to compare nor do we have anything, for that instance to say anything else. Make it easier still, offer RM850 and buy it. Makes no difference to you yet.......even if it is an 'a' or an 's' now. Just take the first step and ride, regardless of whether it is worth it or not. Regardless if it is an 'a' or an 's' it is still cheaper than buying a new one in the shops, right?

If it is a Vybe D7, then it is the latest Vybe nowadays with an RD hanger. The selling price is RM1.3K averagely now. If you can get it at RM850 you can safely grab it. And if it is really what he says, never been ridden before, another RM100 or RM150 should be OK. But like I said, some would rather pay that extra to get from a shop.

The older version Dahon C7s ....................... Look at the folding clasp area. They are different, the older versions has bulkier clasp.



The new Dahon Vybe D7

Thx for the detail advice.
The one he selling is as D7



Do D7 has steel or aluminum version? Or does it only comes with aluminium only?
i saw their official site said it was aluminium, never mention steel.

Has anyone here bought/ridden/seen the new Tyrell IVE? Looks good....

Dear all sifus, do we need thicker tire for road trip or just the original slim tire will do? Owning the Java pro 461 model. Appreciate if anyone can enlighten more.

Cheers...

If you hate punctures, use Schwalbe Marathons. However if your wheels are 451s then you are out of luck. Just bring more spare tubes. Width of tyres does not matter, just how much puncture protection.

Ah ok.. Thank you for the heads up.

Sifu, this kind of crank can be used on Dahon MU? hollowtech.

Yes, why not? Fits perfectly in fact.

PS/ The inner chainring looks very small. The outer one is 53T so the inner one should be 39T but it looks smaller than a 39T.
