Actually clamp on is not possible for Eco C7 or many other Dahon models. Biggest is I think 34.9mm but Dahons tube is 40mm! Unless you braze a FD bracket onto the frame and then repaint the frame. If you want an easier uphill ride with 2 rings, go for the 50T/34T. It's available. Usual is 52T/42T where 52T is the usual number of tooth for foldies with single crank.

The Magura HS 33 are nice It is actually a hydraulic cantilever brake. First came out in the late 2Ks. Stlll in production.

She wanted to sell it and get another one but this Geometric is not even listed in the internet. , so how to sell? It's actually assembled by KSH from a collection of cheapest components! So, the next best thing is carry on riding it and upgrade the gearing. I manage to keep cost down to only about RM400. Getting a left hand side SRAM X4 is a nightmare so I have to ditch the SRAM system and change to Shimano. I got the cheaper Prowell double crank, a Microshift clamp on FD (this bike has a tube size of 34.9mm) but this is not possible on Terns and Dahons as the tubes are 41mm. I installed my old Deore RD and modified a bracket for the FD cable with a barrel adjuster from an old RD. If you spend a bit more for the 9 speed shifter and also a new 9 speed cassette, you can mod to 9 speed direct or 18 speed in all. First the Shimano 8 speed trigger shifters. The Prowell double crank, off course one can buy super expensive cranks but this will do for this bike as weight is not a criteria. Also the Microshift clamp on FD. The Deore rear derailleur. Have to be careful of the long cage though when riding on the 52T by 32T. The modified cable routing for the FD. The barrel adjuster on the modified bracket bolted on the bike stand's bolt.

A velo is a race bike and mini velo means a mini racing bike, so I doubt there's a full sub mini velo as as there's no full sus road bike. I might be wrong but I think I am right. HAhaha.

They shodded it with a 26 inches suspension fork. It kind of heightened the front end, making ridng uphill hard.

Getting Started Junior Member 295 posts Joined: Oct 2009	QUOTE(earl-ku @ Jul 8 2013, 12:10 AM) Woah, first ride and its an uphill one? I might U-turn half way up and go back hahaha yeah bro ... --- i have an issue - i have a Velo VL1200 saddle and that gave me a sore ass, after riding 4km plus i think ... any idea what should i get to make my bum bum less painful? The 1st stage is a flat pleasant kampong road. The only uphill is just at the last 500 meters to the Semenyih junction. From there, we can gauge if you want to continue or not as you still have to think about the return journey. As for the sore ass, even me, after so long still have it on some long rides. There are so many factors, wrong position, pushing to hard or just plain unsuitability of the saddle. Some manufacturers says the less conatct with the ass is better, hence smaller and narrower saddles and some says plush and bigger is better. In the end, only your butt knows.

Instead..mine is "Montbike Military Technology" Perhaps there are 99% other replica/fakes out there I just started my first ride at Bukit Cerakah last Saturday..planning to keep going every Saturday..need to keep fit Bukit Cerakah hs some killer slopes especially to the camping site and dam.

You ride in Bukit Cerakah and you say Hulu Langat cannot. We are doing 1st stage only and only maybe up to the landslide part. The slopes here not as tough as Bukit Cerakah. They are longer only.

Unless it's the old fashion type like my Eco C7 formerly where there's a serrated clasp which needs a spanner.

Getting Started Junior Member 295 posts Joined: Oct 2009	QUOTE(gilbertlhl @ Jul 8 2013, 11:55 PM) Hi May i ask what u mean by: The Deore rear derailleur. Have to be careful of the long cage though when riding on the 52T by 32T.?? Cos i plan to change my chainring from 42T to 50T or 52T.. any advice? TQ. Those mountain bike's long cage derailleurs when extended to accommodate the chain is almost touching the rims and also the clearance from the ground is quite near. Since the setting is used only on extreme low gear (for hill climbing) the speed is not going to be fast, so it is quite OK. As in your case, the change of the chain ring does not really affect the RD but you have to make sure the chain is long enough as the diameter of the 52T chain ring is bigger. Long Cage Short Cage

Silicon based! But kinda dirty after long use. Normally, I just put the bike on rear stand and then use a rag and dipped in diesel and grab the chain while cranking it. I do until the chain looks clean and then apply a fresh coat of the lubricant. Groupset might be 3K to 4K but a good chain is about RM150 which might last you a year maybe two. Should be OK to change when needed after all if you do as the guy in Youtube does, you might even loosen the pins which makes the chain perform worse.

I would go for the MU P27 but if you don't like internal gearings (there's a 3 speed internal hub gear) , you can go for the Visc P18 PROVIDED if they change the rear derailluers to a Tiagra unit. The 9 speed Neos tend to break apart after a few rides. It happened to many Visc and most of them change to a Tiagra RD. The change should also be borne by LeRun and I think it's fair.

Try visiting bike shops and take a look see, look see. Selle Royal has man specifics, woman specifics and also for both sexes. It is stated in the cards displayed. Rodalink has the most range. It's slightly expensive but you can get the model description and ask your favorite bike shop to order.
