Hi. First time posting in this tered.
Wanted to get into cycling but I have no space to keep a full size bike, hence the interest on folding ones.
I Went to Rodalink Bayan lepas yesterday in search for one but they don’t have stock for a tern d9 which is what I’ve been eyeing for a while now.
I’m stretching my budget to 3k but that’s probably the most I’m willing to spend for a foldie. If I can find one for less than that the better because I still have to get accessories like helmet n other stuff as well.
Since I’m a beginner.. any other suggestions for other models that I should be looking into?
Also where to get it in Penang or Seberang Perai area? Need help.
Edit: I’m not a hardcore rider.. just looking for some motivation for exercising and get healthier. I’m not opposed to getting bike online too if there’s a good deal. Just needed a starting point.

QUOTE(BOTAK_WAI @ Feb 26 2020, 06:55 PM) tern d9 is a good choice, if u can't find it in penang why not travel to other place to get it? of course call to ask for stock 1st. else have a look on taobao? those customized built fnhon. if u like tern d9 then fnhon vg2018 looks alike. https://shop.m.taobao.com/shop/shop_index.h...id=520363905100They have one at rodalink bangsar. They Said if I confirm I want it they’ll bring it here. Those Fnhons looks great. Many Sifus here also praise them a lot. I don’t mind it but taobao gg. Now with the outbreak situation, might encounter shipping problems. Also, i can’t read mandarin so a bit tough to negotiate. I’ll go foldie hunting again this weekend when I’m free |

QUOTE(azamunekurone @ Feb 27 2020, 08:21 AM) had u ask rodalink penang to oder the tern d9?last time here in Ipoh got PMJ Bikes that bring tern to Ipoh, i odered few things from them. not that fast, but at least u save money from travelling :thumbsup: Yeah. They can do that. I have yet to decide what bike I want to buy.. that’s why I hesitated to ask them to order it and bring it here. I’m still doing google research and mainly reading this thread to gain more information on foldies. QUOTE(vhs1 @ Feb 27 2020, 06:09 PM) D9.... 👍  Haha. Where is this ?

Is it the norm to have the rear brake on the right lever and vice versa?
I remember when i last ride bicycles, which was circa 20 years ago, its always right lever for front brake and left lever for rear brake.
im still not used to it.

QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Mar 18 2020, 10:29 PM) It's easily switchable. I switched mine because I am used to motorcycle, front brake on the right lever yeah..wouldn't that be more logical/sensible? like a motorbike. or is it a US vs UK/european thing? anyway..think im gonna switch it mine too. Since we're in lockdown..now i have time to do it. |

My handle post is creaking. I’m still diagnosing where the sound came from. Must be from the folding mechanism area.. I have to grease it right? What grease you guys use for this type of application?

My paddle on the right side kept coming loose. The other day I kept paddling and felt it coming loose. Lucky it didn’t fell out while I was cycling in the middle of the road. Now I can see there is damage to the thread inside the crank. This is not good. The Right paddle is screwed in clock-wise. Is this correct? Shouldn’t they make it anti-clockwise? So that the rotation of your paddling tighten it instead of loosening it.. if you Understand what I mean.

QUOTE(shsu @ Aug 30 2020, 10:27 PM) Thanks for the hints.... Could visit 2 bicycle shops here in Penang. 1. Giant Store: only have 4 types in stocks, cheapest is 1350 RM, then 1800 RM, the other 2 more expensive, so I did not even ask. 2. Lim Cycle Outlet, only have 16" or smaller, could see a Java which cost 1300 RM. The 20"in what they refer as beginner bikes are all sold out. Next delivery mid of Sept. So, still need to hunt further. Bro.. how’s the hunt going? Poison a bit. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(talexeh @ Oct 30 2020, 05:21 PM) Managed to remove the pedal & its thread seems OK. However, I think the crank's thread is not OK. There's a lot of thin wire poking out of the crank's thread surface & I can't fully install the pedal back.  Will have to bring it back to Rodalink for further inspection. Same bro. I had this problem too. Mines on the right paddle. Same model, D9 same colour also. I think crank thread also damaged. I managed to screw it back in but I dunno how long it will remain screwed in. I have yet to go back to Rodalink for inspection and servicing. Do post update when u go Rodalink for inspection. This post has been edited by lerijiso: Nov 3 2020, 09:14 AM |
