Hi, previously forget to reply u. Can I know from which seller u bought the bike? Can send me the link? And what shipping method u use? Would like to sell my MTB and get this instead

Thanks a lot!

I saw once at bbs, somewhere around 2.3-2.5k...
Thanks, looking forward for your link.
Anyway, u use sea shipping or air shipping?

What's your tax rate?

Thanks a lot bro! Got your PM.
I will try and contact those sellers and agent, see which one is cheaper or less hassle to deal with.

As my location is at sarawak, dont know how much the shipping cost 

Your FGC is 9 or 10 speed? enough gears compared to 18 speed KA16?
I know more is better, but i would rather get lighter as i dont climb much

its not the frame la i think... my ka16 also had the same sound, but it came from my handlepost last time i climbed jerai. flat road also small2 climb no problemo...wanna test fraser this sabtuday...

oh? i thought u setup it like your tern, using all high end stuff. I saw a lot bike with 8 speed come with 11-32 cassette, while 9 speed and above, mostly with 11-28. Thinking of 8 speed 11-32, wonder if the gap is big between cogs..
I am eyeing at same gear ratio as you also. Nice point there on 11 speeds.
How to calculate gear inch? want to try calculate how much gear inches there are on my rb and mtb, and see the foldie's cassette enough for me or not.

Nice bike. My intention for the bike is for commute. MTB commute not too convenient during parking at workplace. And if go back home rain, hard to put mtb in friend's car..

In my opinion, the Fraser's Hill route is the best I have ridden, apart from Kuala Tembeling to Kuala Tahan (which is a bit far for regular rides). I have even ridden this route on Wednesdays which was even more fun because there are less traffic going up or coming down. The whole route (starts from KKB town) is 6 kilometers to the dam (don't be a hero here as the climbs are quite long, treat this as a long warm up) , another 6 km (flattish plus downhill) to Sungai Chilling. From here onwards it is a 20 km gradual climb all the way to Gap Station with a few, just a few steep climbs, usually at the hairpin turns, other than that it's all gradual which can be ridden even with single chain ring bikes.

After that, it's up to you to do that last steep 8 km up to the clock tower. This is torturous after the 32 kilometers ride from KKB. I usually don't do the last 8 as it's not fun. The momentous clock tower pictures, I already done twice so there's no point for me to do the last 8 km anymore as I don't enjoy it. After that , it will take you only 40 minutes to reach back KKB, the only climb is the dam. After the dam, you can do 50 kmh or 60 kmh all the way back to town. I have done 13 rides here as I enjoy the cooling ride in the mornings as the sun is shaded by the mountains in the mornings. I encourage you to do this ride. It's not as hard as most says. As long as you are good with your gearings, you will be fine.

There are many KKB folks (usually mtbs) who can ride up and back within 3 hours. My first time from KKB to the peak took me 5 hours, rested an hour up there and then that dreading climb from the clock tower to the rear exit. Careful at the descending road as it is a bit 'keras'    Then after GAP it is all the way down, down,  down till Sungai Chilling again. Later rides, it took me 4 hours 30 minutes with lunch at the peak.

I would suggest for first timers, park your car in Sungai Chilling. Skip the first 12 km. The route there is all uphill for 20 km till GAP. The good part is , it is also OK for newbies as IF you can't reach GAP , the way back to the car is all downhill, so not much of a problem. Once you can do this, then can try from KKB. 

When I was in KL, it takes me one hour to actually drive to Hulu Langat or Putrajaya to ride. KKB is about 70 minutes if I start early, so KKB is not really considered far.

Fraser is like Perez but a bit longer. If you can do Perez - Bukit Hantu loop with a breeze, then it should be no problem for you to tackle Fraser.

Bukit Ampang is a death trap.

*is this one okay? the attached pics

i am pulling trigger on Fnhon 349 16" 9 speed today. expected damage including shipping is about 1.5k

but my main criteria is to fit into a ikea dimpa bag, if 349 can fit i will buy

how how 349 or normal 16" wheelset?

hunt for a used dahon chromoly framed bike. really comfy for touring/long distance travelling. maybe need to increase your budget a bit. but it'll be well worth it.

as promise before,
i want to share images how to fit fnhon zephyr ka1618 with 349 wheels into ikea dimpa bag. sorry for the late post, i've been busy with kayuhan negaraku event held here at Seri Iskandar, Perak..

so here we go,
1st of all, my fnhon zephyr ka1618 fitted with 349 wheelset, non folding pedals and 31.5cm handlepost height bundle with the frame (i asked for 31.5cm height instead of 39cm by default). so when i wanted to fold inside the handelpost and handlebar touched my chainstay and make the fold bigger than it should be. so for conclusion, i need to buy at least 35cm height handpost, or buy the adjustable height handlepost or buy a fold outside handlepost. since this is my project bike and used for santai only, so no need for me to buy another handlepost.


1st attempt, failed..cant close the bag 

so i try to fold inside the handlepost and take out the seatpost



2nd attempt like this one also failed!!

so i put outside the handlepost like 1st time i do it, but this time i pull out the seatpost. and the result


it can fit!

as for conclusion,
the dimpa bag can easily fit fnhon zephyr ka1618 with 305 wheelset and normal tradition fold inside handlepost. u will get below 10kg bike with those setup. lucky me, with 349 wheelset also i got total weight of 9.5kg easily.

Genting Sempah?

superb paint job, especially the front part. so much details to admire.

sifu i want to ask, my bike come with brake setting that is not my favor, which is, right lever brake FRONT, and left lever brake REAR.

What is the method to swap it? pull out the cables?

BTW, how u paint the front part? so nice

tested my new bike last weekend. Uphill nearly dead as lack of low gear (3 speed). Flat lack of high gear...
But, Fun and agile 
best short distance commuter

Too bad nowadays, foldie groups are mostly closed groups. You have to be a friend or brought by a member friend on rides. And also most of the active groups that I noticed are those Brompton groups. My advice is that you must be able to ride at least a certain distance (like 15km to 20km) before you actually join others for their regular rides. Unless off course , you have a buddy friend from that group who will take care of you. For starters, I think you can drive to Putrajaya and ride around the lakes there regularly, maybe meet some riders and get to know them. Once you are quite confident, you can check FB for Happy Cycling group that rides every Wednesday nights around KL, hunting for food.

Malaysian cycling scene is quite splintered and there's no main singular large group to actually steer the activity. Too much gossips and petty issues, bound to happen with so many kinds of people around.

I am not throwing cold water on the issue but let things go naturally. If you don't have friends doing the same, just ride on your own first till you group up with some others. It will happen , don't worry. Maybe other riders here can give you an invite to ride on their rides.........Anyone ? I used to take newbies to Putrajaya when I was in KL but I am in Taiping now, so I can't now.

Back track to the older treads and you can find the Putrajaya map. It's quite scenic and very safe, no traffic at all. Happy Riding 

I have been in their FB of BGC for quite some time now, i am just wondering if i am able to keep up with the rides, i ride roadbike too,,,
