price wise, not so sure,
the thing is, u can't try the bikes, so...
tern is very much like the new high end dahon model, only the joint which has improved.

if u wait for tern then decide to go dahon, mebe stock habis... for dash p18 then...??
so u hv to ask the dist if they still got enuf stock, ?

Added on October 11, 2011, 5:11 pmH2D, how many bike do you own? how many points do you give dash p18 (10 points full ) in overall performance ?

looks like u will use it abroad, then size n convenient is the main point.

wah i'm not expert in bikes, i only hav d dash p18 n old lerun bike.
but u can't judge it like that i think,
u wan easy fold, smaller, cheaper then hasa can do mar,
if u like the form n style, then hv to sacrifice size lor..
all depend on how u want it....

a member of the folding bike group just mentioned that this Orbit bike was selling at RM 500 in one of the shops,
where as the normal price in other shop is RM 800.
it comes with mudgard and rear rack. quiet well made he said, value for money as well.

He gave the direction to the bike shop,

" The shop is at Taman Sri Sinar. You can either approach from Jalan Segambut or Jalan Lang Emas. The shop is along Jalan Lang Kuning, after the Esso Station, drive straight on for about 400m. and turn left to the row of shophouses facing Jln. Lang Kuning.

The shopowner is a Chinese but it is managed by a Bangladeshi and his wife. His name is Salam. "

anyone tried the lerun aeon 20" folding bike? 6 speed for rm499. Local product though, not sure on quality. also it's part of maybankard's treatpoint offer, so those who has collected a bunch of points can get it for free

did u get one?

i did today.

for those interested can go to their website here http://www.2fast-4u.com/
apparently they have 3 branches.

do u like the bike?

first and foremost i have to admit i haven't ride a bike since i was a kid.
i have tried last night ride to nearby shop for dinner, so far ok but the handle feels very light. is it normal for a foldie?

no problem ride up a slope either.

This post has been edited by faizalmzain: Oct 17 2011, 11:33 AM

small wheel bike is like tht, a bit twitchy , nimble , unstable if u used to ride big wheels.
lower the handle bars or raise the seat if u wana put more weight on the front.

thanks for the tip.
right now i need to buy a helmet to join night ride with neighbourhood riders.
they usually ride on thursday and saturday night.

i hope their route is foldie friendly.

all depends on ur leg,
yday ocbc ride even fixie can climb hill.

Dahon eco C7!

hi H2D,
i just got my dash p18 yesterday, i bought from friend bike shop,not from rodalink, i read the manual it says need to register your bike at dahon.com, i try to register but fail to enter the serial number,
Do you register your dash p18 on dahon.com?
by the way my bike shop mechanic broken the " T " tool when tighten the lockjaw hinge, just wonder why this thing happen on dahon bike, now my friend have to claim one for me instead, how about your's ?
I thought dahon will supply good quality products, what i have to say the " T "tool was rubbish.
Still haven't test run the bike yet, this few days keep raining in my area, can't wait to ride my new bike with my another new bike (hasa minimax m2) .

Added on October 20, 2011, 12:14 pmnow i have to source the folding bag for dash p18, for transport purpose on train and flight. I just bought the dahon stow bag to put my hasa minimax m2, but no luck to put the dash p18 inside the dahon stow bag. If you ever come across any good and reasonable price folding bag for dash p18, please inform me ,thanks in advance.

hi good to hear frm u again,

yes i manage to register at dahon.com, did u manage to get the serial right?
cos it is kinda hard to make out afew numbers or alphabet.

yea i mentioned a bout the t-tool in earlier post, so ppl can be aware n not use it too much to tighten.

i already broken mine n got it replaced by lerun.
the tool is made by ergologic, i emailed them to tell them that this tool is very weak at the welding joint, hope they will redesign it.

another thing i wana show about the p18 is the inner tube. wait i get the pic.....

fitting the dash p18 into a carry bag is another issue, because of the odd size..
have to find a bigger bag, not the ones for normal folding bike.

i think there are those made in china ones, which can get from taobao.com
getting it locally might be a problem.

this bike bag looks big enough, but i think it still won't fit the dash p18?

pic taken frm http://tigerkun.blogspot.com/

some bicycle carry bags on sale in rakuten.com for big wheel bikes, that i think will fit the dash p18.
there are specs n measurements below.
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc-ple...5/item/db-03-1/

http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc-ad-...e/item/monb032/

ostrich bag
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/bebike/item/ostrich_l100/

biologic t- tool that comes with the dahon dash p18. broken.
if you look closely, there is a manufacturing flaw.
welding is suppose to between metal and metal, but the welding on this tool is on the coating of the metal.



the schwalbe inner tube that comes with the dahon dash p18 is different than
the schwalbe tube that you purchase from bike stores, in terms of thickness.
at first i thought why is this tube so thin like a balloon??
then when i bought another new tube, the difference it obvious.

the one on the left is the original tube that comes with the dash p18.
it is very thin and easily punctured , there are already signs of crack when i fold it.

the schwalbe tube 20inch with presta valve, is rrp Rm 29 in rodalink.
you can get it for RM 21 in penang.
taiwan 20 inch tube is about Rm 15. but bike stores in klang valley will price it below RM 20.



if u like to bargain hunt and on budget, there are a lot of bicycle accessories from china that is very low priced, and " usable " ,
that you can get from taobao.com
of cos there are disadvantages of shopping in taobao.com but a lot of deals are worth it.

H2D,
oh man ,you really got a lot of info about dash p18, you from penang?
just too bad ,the weather in my area full of rain couple of days back, no chance to test my bike at all . do you buy anything yet from taobao ?

what cycle computer you use ? have you heard of "sunding"brand ,wireless sell for rm40, very cheap ,but no info on the quality.

About the serial number on the bike, when i try to key in the first digit number ( from 0 to 9 ) it always show error massage. i call up lerun ,they told me no need to register online.
