QUOTE(pixelrider @ Jul 16 2018, 01:29 PM) Hi sifu, I got a folding bike from my uni back when I was still completely clueless about bike in general. Thanks to my student discount it only cost me RM99 Since you are on shoe string budget, why not do some paint job or graphics. "Street Cred" your sikal... Etc. https://imgur.com/a/NSKDftm However, I think with some upgrade this should make it a fine commuter bike for me (~6-8km daily), I'm thinking of replacing that atrocious wobbly stem to one that could be fitted with different type of bars, would something like this works? https://bicyclebuysell.com/item/445888/lite...-head-tube-stem The brake lever and shifter too are screaming for replacement, 7 speed groupset is ok so far but I think a 9 speed one would feel better for sure, however at that point I'll have to change the wheelset as well which could be costly for a student like me. Maybe I'll do this once I have more spare cash to spluge. I'd like to hear some thoughts from sifu before I start changing anything, cheers! Since you are young, the leg power rules, equipments only help old geezer like me⦠2~3 cans of Samurai spray cans still below 50bucks. Don't forget to top it off with a coat of 2k clear coat. It's great to have a bike which you don't care much for to trash and whack around for fun. This post has been edited by KenC: Jul 23 2018, 10:42 PM |

Finally can buy REAL functional bike GPS with ANT+ connectivity at below RM200 (way below RM200). Hunted around for Ant+ Cadence sensor and HRM strap. Total just over RM 300 (308)⦠iGPS20e...
Now, this is really sensible price. No, it's not power meter ready (but lasy year I sweared by my ancestors grave that I will never use power meter ) Got realtime gradient display, and all the bell an whistle of Bryton unit. For syok sen diri factor I when for a Garmin HRM, the older design, RM100 only! Nope, no navigation. I always carry my phone. This post has been edited by KenC: Jul 26 2018, 04:51 PM |

QUOTE(azamunekurone @ Jul 26 2018, 05:18 PM) Ken, The cadence/speed sensor is under RM40.if u had extra money, buy also the speed sensor. as i compare before with my friend igps head unit, sometimes the igps lost signal though some tree and over the mountain/hills All GPS devices will have signal problem under canopy and cloud. Hence not worth more than rm166 which I paid for. More interested to have power saving Ant+ HRM and cadence sensor⦠Nowadays I done cycle in the rain and stare at the speedometer. Only look at average speed after the ride. No bothered with top speed⦠no point ler, old geezer can go how fast? This post has been edited by KenC: Jul 26 2018, 05:58 PM |

QUOTE(Lavitz @ Jul 26 2018, 05:29 PM) Hi guys, More speed gear won't make you go faster. And you won't be doing off-road with your foldy.been into mtb but now tempted to get one foldie can anyone suggest a good folding bike range 1.5k.. been tempting to buy java fit but since no longer in production maybe java pro 3.. how well the fold mechanism on java bike? any other brand to suggest? tried my friend mongoose 27speed, quite a good specs for the price but the bicycle not sturdy enough as btwin foldie bike i tried in decathlon for the same price but half the specs. 1.5k got a lot of choices. Between mongoose and and Btwin. Btwin anytime for me.but since there are sooooooooo many choices at around 1.5k, I will let other sifu to give their words of wisdom. Careful, for bicycle salesman, they think in USD and pound Stirling, when you say RM1.5k, they will sell you 1.5k USD or pound Sterling. And yet you still has to spend more to buy helmet, shoes, saddle, bags lights, blinkers⦠and a whole walldrod of matching color shirts⦠yes, they will tell you your MTB stuff can not use.
