do you think rm749 is ok for the spec for this bike?

u're better off with a Raleigh Ugo, xds or even top up for a dahon c7

the bike is just too heavy at 17kg

Very hard to find already. 7 speed means it's a freewheel type and not cassette type. If you want more gear ranges but don't want to change to 8 speed, you can change 53/39T crank and an FD with it's shifter. According to my bike shop here, Shimano stop producing it but an 8 speed can still get a 32T max, made by another company.

owh man.. do u know how much those will cost though? crank + FD + shifter

To avoid all those cost of upgrading, get 16 speed minimum. No headache thinking of upgrading the gears. It can climb, can go fast too.

initial budget memang max like that ni wor, how ar..

dah la accessories pun mahal! sad.gif

I think they quoted u all the higher end parts that's y so exp!

QUOTE(ahsam1212 @ Jan 21 2013, 03:29 PM)
Since somebody talking about mega range, do u guys think it's possible to find 11-32t 7 speed freewheel? Wonder what's the cost like?

I did found a few at Amazon.com for usd 20+ without shipping!

but I just dropped by at the shop where I bought my bike n he said scared mega range might not shift as smoothly.. hmm.gif

QUOTE(ahsam1212 @ Jan 21 2013, 05:40 PM)
Riding dahon eco c7. Limited top speed, that's why looking for 11t. And sincei intend to upgrade, might as well improve climbing ability as well. So 32t might be a good option.
*
what's the highest gear then?
my boardwalk d7 is 11 - 30t so I guess u could try n use that? top speed is okay for me but I'm having a hard time climbing air itam dam, supposedly the least steep hill in pg for mtbking doh.gif

Just got this from a thai friend, thd300 for  14-34t. It might have problem with the eco c7 tourney rd due to the large last gears.
*
hmm try n see??

is the jump between the biggest n the 2nd biggest very big?

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 sad.gif

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 sad.gif

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.
