Noobie here. Anyone from Damansara perdana area? Looking for gang to ride together hehe.

lets have some vitamin sea shall we?

hi. got it. thanks alot ya. you have been very helpful and informative

Newbie here. Used to ride RB with my friends long long time ago, I don't own any bikes with me anymore. Nowadays usually just rent those linkbike in Penang RM3/day, it is a ok bike to ride around, nothing hard core, but these bikes are getting a lot of abuse and it seems like the vendor aren't maintaining it properly.

Last month we won a folding bike in a lucky draw. Even before I rode it, I knew it is some cheap brand and it proves me right after riding it around my taman. I had to tighten and adjust all the bolts and nuts. I let my gf ride it since she is much lighter than I do, but she also mentioned that the bike is so wobbly and unsafe. So I sold it off soon after. The fb is Treking and only cost around RM350.
The best thing about it is being so portable that if fits in our car and enables us to drive to our desired destination to start our riding journey.

I've been reading and watching some youtube videoes on fb, and had set my own budget of below RM1.5k as a starting point (so that I can upgrade to a better fb and appreciate it in the future)
I would love to get a second hand fb if that is possible. My question is, is it a good idea to get a 2nd hand fb as I don't see many people talking about 2nd hand fb, and if so, what are the best options within RM1.5k and what to look out for. TIA

penang area go find them

man, another fnhon.

budget and space constraint otherwise i really would love to get one

i held one up while riding with a group last year, niamah lighter than my wife java fit, despite all the mods i did with it

As with any other type of bicycles, there's always market for 2nd hand foldie but maybe you'll want to stick to COD so that you can check the joints, make sure they're still foldable & when it's setup, not wobbly & meet your expectation. bicyclebuysell.com, Carousell, FB groups are pretty abundant these days.

hi guys.. any comment on camp snoke? worth getting this bike? =)

Hi guys, newbie in folding bike. (1 months only)
Currently i am using Raleigh Calypso Aloy 7 gears (shimano) all standard without any modification.
I noticed that during cruising (flat surface) high gear only get around 25km/h. My level la... am not pro. Haha
Am considering to upgrade to Dahon Visc D18 or P20 soon. (because of its look and spec).

My question is.. how fast (kmh) can i expect to get with Dahon VISC? no modification.
Hope sifus here can help me because am highly considering that bike,

if your Raleigh is 48T chainring with 14T cog, at 85rpm u can hit 26km/h

if Dahon Visc D18 with 53T chainring with 11T cog, at 85rpm u can hit 36km/h

Yes.. exactly.. checked just now... 48T x 14T cog for Raleigh Calypso Shimano Tourney.
Ermm... 36km/h.. hopefully can ride with MTB friend.

being able to hit that speed on such gearing, still call yourself newbie?

You also laju ma... lol...

my avg on foldie is 14-16kmh only.

mtb usually maintain 30kmh or max 35kmh (strong leng) on the road. they are not too fast compare to roadbike.

if u on tight budget, try adopt freewheel cog that got 11t. its hard to find, but its a cheaper option.

changing to a new bike like dahon visc also giving u a new feel. but remember, its still wont feed ur next hunger for speed enough

Ya lor newbie in cycling.. am runner just accidentally bought folding bike Raleigh Calypso. 1-Feb.

Dahon VISC D18 is around RM3,800. Within my budget and I hope can maintain up to 35kmh.

like bro azam mentioned, you could buy this 7s 11-28T freewheel and replace your current 14-28T can increase top speed. plug and play no mod needed. i did this before.
