holy crap that's freaking big!

guess i'll pass on that

n accept the fact that foldies aren't meant to climb hill

cuz i found one here but the lowest is 14 n that's like losing almost 2 gears compared to my current 11-30t

can climb de....
just need to train leg muscle... u will see the progress...

that day OCBC many small wheel bike less than 10speed, go up hill like mad....

Guys, Im parting with My Dahon Expresso. Looking at RM980 for my less than 1 year old bike. View to appreciate. Contact me at 012-9730217. Mr Lee. Cheers!

mmg can climb but would like really to take on those more challenging hills!

no budget left for proper mtb d

Thanks for your info. Look like boardwalk 11-30t is a good substitute for 14-28t for eco7. Btw, is your boardwalk freewheel o cassette type? 7 speed as well?

as hard as I tried, I couldn't figure out which is it! haha

Usually freewheel are locked and cassette types are usually with quick release. I think the Boardwalks are freewheel. The Speed P8 is cassette type.

hmm okayy.. does that mean upgrading it is gonna be harder? I really want a 34t to climb steep hills la

I am in the midst of ordering wheelsets (see pix). They come with the cassette type hubs and if I am not mistaken, they can fit a 9 speed. The wheel set is about RM400 without the courier service. Then hunt around buysell bike forum for a second hand Deore or Alivio 9 speed shifter and also the cassette. Should be around RM250 for both. You can also buy the cheaper Sunrace cassette. Plus point is you get double walled rims and sealed bearing hubs and also maybe get the maximum 36T cogs! but mostly found are 34T. Or you can get the 8 speed cassette and shifter so you don't have to buy a new RD. But max is only up to 32T. I am using 32T now and riding up to Genting Peras is no problem.

Off course many will say it not worth the price but again it's personal. Being so, we can choose the components we want. If you look carefully, the Dahon MU and the Eco is just one slight difference, the reinforcement bar holding the rear arm. Other than that, it's all components. I am OK with the Eco's folding handlebar, the seat post, the crank and it's only the rims and gear system that I am changing. After changing it is even better spec than the MU.

How much do they sell it?



Dengkil shop out of stock. The Cheras Perdana shop got FB or Website?


I was researching about ORI bikes, anyone familiar with it? Seems their designs quite nice, futuristic, wonder about their cheapest price ...

Rodalink price is always fixed rrp, mebe give u 5%

Ori,many ppy got, member here bought one recently,
Y dun u consider jawa or xds 18speed?

thanks but I guess I'll pass la cuz planning to get a better bike if I'm really into biking, this bike is a shared one n I only bought to ride till my ankle recovers n I'd probably go back to just football again

on a side note, am I lucky or unlucky?? just bought a wrench n a spare tube yday n today itself my tyre punctured!!

determine what u wanna do with a folding n get one that can accommodate to ur needs, don't end up like some of us here wanna upgrade this n that later on

have u found the cause of puncture?

I want a folder that can tahan and not complicated. Dahon and Ori seem quite tahan. The xds too many speed so maybe complicated and tak "tahan" eventhough the XDS AFB 320 look quite nice. Javafit? I'll research just after this.


I want to use the bike for commuting to office ( ~ one way 2 KM only ) , join the bike ride like the recent OCBC ride and also programmes organised by my employer which eventhough 99% uses mountain bike but only 10% is offroad and that offroad is still can be rode using normal tire.

I've also looked at Montage Bikes so that I can join the various Jamboree for MTB but the price such as " Paratrooper = RM 3799" is a bit too much.

Thank U everybody.

i think, can tahan wan... u heavy rider?
just that dahon a bit pricey...
like the speed p8 oredi 2k....
