its monday blues!

Bidon put like that no leak?

My camelback bidon cant take the 100+ pressure and sprinkling on my top tube

never use bidon on foldie position like my fnhon. bcoz i had too many bad expirience bottle falling out from cage (especially cage attach with body and flat). besides those bidon arent cheap neither, so would u take the risk?



only i use facing up and near me (with special adapter).also on rb no problemo. i normally didnt drink 100plus when riding. i like to drink coke more than 100plus (coke only when im cycling).i also never fill cabonated drink on my bottle.

RB i have no prob, other than the fact that my rb only have 1 cage mount and i need refill regularly.

The adapter on your tern looks nice. Brand and price?

Since this is the topic I would like to ask where i can buy a pair of rim?

WTB wheel set?

Ok, bicycle term 101.
Rim, the round thing where the tire is attached to.
Wheelset = Rim + spoke + hub.

Kimbell Jaya do stock them but I am not sure now.

Yes, I looking for rim

Is it possible to get a Brompton for RM 4000 ? At the most basic spec ? I can upgrade everything later right ?

I'm new to folding bikes and I was told Brompton are the best and very configurable just like a desktop pc?

I am sure if you hunt for it for a few years you might find a desperate seller willing to sell below 5k.

You must has spoken to the Brompton cult. The Bike Friday cult and the Moulton cult, Birdy cult, Tyrell cult, Dahon cult, Tern cult, FnHon cult won't be happy with what you hear.
Chap Ayam cult too…

Almost every bicycle shop I walked in sells rim. Which type only. Meaning expensive or affordable type. Just walk in and ask.
The last I heard, labour for lacing wheel is 2.50 per spoke. Excluding materials. The price goes up exponentially wih lesser spokes.

The last price before the last increase was a 2 speed Brompton on offer as the last unit and it was sold for RM4200. After that, no 2 speeds or 3 speeds id popular, only the 6 speed is. So, if you are thinking of getting the lowest spec and modify later, the Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub gear is not cheap either but you do have the option of getting the 5 speed which converts it to 10 speed later though. Yes, Sturmeys are now Taiwanese and not British and they have came out with 5 speed of which the internals can be fitted into the 3 speed hub casing. The internals are available in UK. Here, nobody brings in let alone do it. But you can buy the whole 5 speed Sturmeys.

You can also try the 8 speed Sturmeys but I didn't read the literature about it so I can't comment but I do know they are available. So, there's pros and cons about getting the single and 2 speed lowest spec Bromtons. Just be warned though, since Bromptons are expensive, even though everything is basic simple stuffs, they charge premium because they know you can afford it.

Just like Naza charges RM1600 without labour for Peugeot timing belt change while non-authorized specialist charges RM900 with labour or a RM500 rear wheel bearing and respectively only RM120 . Likewise with Peugeot or Bromptons for that matter , they threaten you with warranty default. if you do it somehwere else.

Sifu Etigge the B cult won't be happy with the Peugeot metaphor! Fararri will make them happy… but that will upset the other cult…

mine using sks adapter



u need to find sks seller in kl as my local shop said that sks distributor had stop importing this adapter. this adapter easy to use and use good fabric that wont scratch ur frame.

been thinking to convert back my dabike using this hub in the future, maybe?

Maybe I give him a call
thanks for the information.

Oh, okok, thanks thanks

Kimbell jaya, nice well stocked shop, been there a few times wanting to buy a bike.
However each time i went there i was always served by foreign worker, ask for explanation or price, he run upstairs to check with boss, every thing check with boss.
after a while i also give up..
to their credit the price is reasonable and the shop is well stocked.
i just hope that someone that can communicate well with me come and at least serve me..

okok,i complained too much

first time i went there, was entertained by local worker. he was patient with all of my questions. the boss oso answer some of the questions. i think his name is jimmy or something. it was during peak hours. they were having sales. lots of customers that time. i end up purchasing a bike. after a few months, found out my BB was damaged due the installation of the dahon roller stand using a different bolt, as instructed by jimmy (i still remember the foreign worker asking verfication whether can use those bolt or not, and his boss just say ya ya can can).

the 2nd time i went there, the experience is, pretty much like yours. instead this time, nobody even care to entertain me. even go ask jimmy few questions, (i was searching for an rb that time), but i got the so so replies, and he seems to give more attention on 2 of his other customers who edi purchase a couple of road bikes. other staff? didnt even bother.

with those 2 visits, has really lowered down my enthusiasm to do a third visit. they do have a wide range of choices for folding bikes, and with very competitive price too, but, i think that's is all about it with that shop.

in term of service attitute, i quite like Rodalink Bandar Botanic, the shop near sungai way also ok, sen aik setia alam is good...
