![]() I'm new on foldies been using vigor p9 for 3 months now its basically a weekly activity just roaming around at putrajaya at night with friends. Overall I'm happy with my purchase big thanks to bro @rkhairulrijal for the guide. Anyway I've heard about vigor p9 about upgrade and i'm not sure what it is lol. But maybe I wanna change the rim maybe for it to look nicer ? where can i search nice may red wheel rim ? and anyone can guide me about the upgrade speed ? and where can I upgrade it ? How can I make a full use of this bike ? In terms of upgrading ? Thanks sifu or should I just save my money and aim for high end tern or maybe perhaps a brompton lol. I've been following brompton's instagram and gotta tell u the poison and jizz is This post has been edited by pallidum: Feb 14 2016, 03:45 PM |

QUOTE(chongkiat @ Feb 14 2016, 11:15 AM) I am not getting a brompton for its ridability but it's the portability. When I put mine up for sale a few months ago, nobody was game enough to buy even when I was going to personally deliver the bike to the buyer. That was basically a new bike, not used all that much and never been in the rain! (you guessed it Sifu Etigge!)I travel all.over quite a lot an 20 inch tern is quite hard to pack n fly with. I got a tourer and MTB already. By the way if anyone have used brompton for sale pls let me know Buying secondhand makes perfect sense. Won't lose money. |

QUOTE(desastar @ Jan 25 2016, 01:10 PM) I went to khass bicycle shop to test ride Tyrell ive. The bike rides very well and comfortable on the seat, as if there's a suspension on back wheels. I've tried standing up and pedal, it don't have much flex. It's a very fast bike, no doubt. Built quality is excellent with the folding all into the right place without touching or rubbing any part of the frame. I like the paint job, it glossy and it feels really nice to touch. However, it doesn't fold really small for a 18" bike. Compare to Dahon route, it's only slightly shorter but a little wider. Narrow are almost the same. Retail price are at RM6k. |

You mean that thing at the back of the frame is not the suspension block? Silly not to include one as the position is already there!However, it doesn't fold really small for a 18" bike.

When you have a rubber block there, there's a possibility that it might wobble in the long run as many has demonstrated under poor maintenance. Like those 'B' copies, the MT from Flamigo, it wobbles even when new. KHS foldies on the other hand has a rubber block embedded inside the steel tube and this helps but the travel is just minimal. Unless you machine the pivots precisionly with sealed bearings embedded, many will have movements. That's why they prefer not to have suspension there. Even Dahon Curl omitted the rubber block altogether by going for a snapped tight V-joint which totally clasp the joint solidly without movement. They also patented the blardy joint! Nice bike though. Thanks for the rundown. ![]() If you take a 'B' unfolded and you lift up the rear wheels, you will feel the movement. That's what Tyrell wanted to avoid , probably and also Dahon Curl. A lot of care and maintenance is needed as this point as movements without grease will equate to wear and tear faster. This post has been edited by etigge: Feb 17 2016, 02:09 PM |

A lot of care and maintenance is needed as this point as movements without grease will equate to wear and tear faster. If you mean sideway movement, that would be the bush in the pivot joint has worn. The manufacturing process must obviously be precise to start off with, so perhaps that is the difference in quality between the B and the copies. The Birdy has similar suspension block and I have not heard any complaints. In any case it is a shame not to have some give in the frame as small wheels are quite harsh on rough roads. |
