I think it's a great price for the D9!
Got one shop I've seen got just 20% discount  from rm3300.

Rodalink has 20% discount on D9. Just got one for myself yesterday.

Rode my foldie to work for the first time today, totally underestimating the distance & obstacles along the way. Guess now I have to carry along a pair of spare work attire which I don't really fancy.

Me too. I tried cycling to work but by the time I arrived to my office, I was sweating like crazy.  cry.gif

Carrying a folded bike & walking among narrow cubicle corridors while sweating, I looked almost like an uninvited guest in the office space. sweat.gif

I guess it's just something that I'll grow accustomed to. Here's hoping that more people will start cycling to work too.

I don't mind taking bath in the office but to carry additional weight of clothes + towel in addition to my laptop bag is such a turn off.

Anyway, no worries guys, just ranting since this is a new experience for me.

If there's anyone here who cycle to work, any tips on where to store your sweaty shirt & pants? sweat.gif

Shove them into a plastic bag & keep under the desk? sweat.gif

I don't have so many experience with various foldies but Tern Verge D9 does come with front & rear fenders. You should still be able to get it for RM2640 today (last day of 20% promotion) at Rodalink. Comes with 9 speed & I use it to commute to work (15KM away) in jeans & T-shirts. sweat.gif

i know some of u wont care about elevation, but when elevation are not accurate, means the gps lock on the device also sometimes not accurate.
*
I thought elevation calculation is handled by the device's barometric altimeter & has nothing to do with GPS?

Another alternative is to get a smartwatch instead, especially one with barometric altimeter such as Amazfit Pace (around RM500'ish)? The battery will last you at least 5 days & you can even get it for free from the occasional credit card application campaigns on RinggitPlus.

Nice! Can't go wrong with the entire family staying healthy by cycling together.

For apps, Strava would suffice though there are definitely alternatives out there.

I actually got to know about TCCP one day before the event & friend told me to just ghost ride along but I was reluctant as I wasn't sure how strict they were.

Just Wana share ... for those looking for a bottle cage adapter
I just received my sks bottle cage adapter,
Very well made (in Germany) super easy & fast, hardly need any force to mount and unmount from bike when folding and surprisingly sturdy (was worried as the clamp was too easy to close and open)

Best Rm36 spend.
*
Where do you get one? The one I found on Lazada / Shopee are those China stocks so not sure if they're genuine.

Have you tried to tape your nipples using surgical tape? Those with bloody nipple in marathon runs usually just tape it up to prevent nipple chaffing.

QUOTE(Abin @ Sep 17 2020, 10:19 AM)
hi All...i need your advice on tire pressure on my bikes. Got two foldies, 1 tern C8 and B7.

I refer to the side of the tire which shows min - max tire pressure..however yesterday when i pump my tire at petronas 1 uncle ask me not to put too high pressure coz even car tire used lower PSI.

Hence i need the advice
*
As long as you adhere to the recommended range, you're good to go. Lower range might be more comfortable but it's a matter of preference.

QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Sep 17 2020, 11:10 AM)
i believe currently foldies are in hot demand and you might even can gain profit compared to your buying price
*
Really? Thinking of letting go off my Tern Verge D9 since I can no longer ride it to work due to office gym closure. sad.gif

Like this foldie. Actual brand new was around rm1.6k.

This jewish gentlemen is asking for rm2.6k for his used unit.

Haha... he can put 5K but as long as there's no transaction, it's not going anywhere.

But yea, I got your point. Just hoping that it's nothing but an impulsive thought due to the prolonged MCO.

Reporting in today's ride. I've always wanted to ride up Air Itam dam but all the horror stories both in LYN & among real life friends had got me hesitating a lot.

Anyway, I'm glad I chose low traffic hours to ride up since that allowed me to zig-zag when it comes to hard climb.
