It's hard to ride terrain where we are not prepared for. I usually will turn back      Then again, we ride because we want to enjoy riding , right?  If it is too torturing, I won't do it. Lessons I learned when I was scuba diving. PADI's motto, " If you don't enjoy it. don't do it !" Not that I never done it, I did and that was the last time I ride there again.  I tried the Hulu Langat 18th mile to Titi ride. Started at 7.15am and the ride ended at 4.45pm in the evening. Like I said, I only did once. 

Anyway, rides like this actually builds up your confidence. 

Thx bro fatani & etigge...
I skip java pro & fit already...

Btw,now i think to find a good frame...
And start from there,chromoly frame mostly...
Since ira ride quality is not that good,i will skip it mostly...
Unless i am able to fine a used unit with good price...

Now thinking to import fnhon storm / dahon speed i think...
Budget raise to rm2000...
Regarding d dahon speed,something like P8 / D7 / D8 / Falco...
How to differentiate ya?
And d falco is d best?

How much roughly itu will cost to custom folding bike?
If i plan to import fnhon strom frame & okok 451 wheelset(i suppose is d rim & sealed bearing),both at rm1000...
Is d leftover Rm1000 enuf for d remaining parts?

taiko fnhon sudah sampai!

Good day foldies!

I recently acquired myself a new Dahon Route as a birthday gift. Been riding 10-20km every weekend for past month and currently struck with a bad case of "upgradetitis"

Could you guys show me the light and what is needed (including estimated price) to upgrade my bike from a 7 speed to 9? (possibly 10 if it's not too expensive)

Also, do I need to change my crankset for the upgrade?

Looking forward to your advice! Thanks a million

Oh, here's my bike 

20" wheels vs 24" wheels makes any diff?
just for leisure ride around the park

wana ask if i wana pump air into my deca 451 wheel...
do i need a special connector with pump?

By the way, Dahon Curl i8 is my first small wheeled bike.

Pros

Modern and stylish design 
Compact folded size
Smooth folding/unfolding process (after several trials)
Stable, comfort and fast rides

Cons
Heavy
Only red color
No front carrier block for bag
Limited accessories

Forget about Brompton, get a Dahon Curl i4 for RM4,200. Later upgrade to Rohloff 11 spd, no other bikes can come close to you. Just a suggestion.

Happy riding.

ok for first folding bike? in term of pricing vs quality

Yeap..climb climb climb 😊 test it near kl hilly area. So much better in climbing and flat.

Guys, am planning to buy a foldie.. 451 vs 406 which one easier to find tyres? thanks

i wanted to ask you guys foldies how did you make payment for an overpriced foldies like brompton because i saw a folding bike i like but cost over 6k instead of java model under 2k.  i just graduated and started to work need portable transport to move around city but at price like that just started to work sounds impossible.  does bike shop offer some installment or did you guys get some personal loan from bank?  would like to listen for advice and wanted to avoid high interest payment rate from aeon service.

i don't have credit card yet and cheaper bike i see like java model is very heavy and cumbersome to fold immediately especially in bus or entering office.  brompton seems to be promising and i could use it a lot if travelling around for long term.  i saw some low income people able to buy road bike costs rm15000 by loan so i like to find ways how this loan procedure works buying such bicycle the brompton.

i got a 50km brommy clone for sale.RM1300.

thanks. is there any weight limit ?

This started out as an used bike.
Over the years turn into this… all in less than 1.5k. (including the helmet) spending done over 6~9months.
Now done many thousand km… ROI very good.

*Ps, set up for old obese geezer rider… plenty of wheel spoke, note the not so narrow tires, wide gear range, Wide handlebar(this is genuine BMX handlebar and stem).
