Thx to ur Brilliant Suggestion of swapping wheels with wifey's Speed P8, I showed Chin Aik and they ordered the BA. The tires makes a Huuugeeee difference. Rides thru road imperfections like a dream. Can save money I intended to use for chiropractor liao.. Hehe.. The saddle is a Ergogel Moderate and its very comfy. I can go for my routine 25-30km (1hr) trips without my padded shorts. Love to cycle using back roads passing by paddy fields and kampung to Mengkuang Dam.

Forgot to answer ur q about cyclometer. It's a Sigma STS 1609 with optional Cadence. Bought 2 sets at same time (for wife oso).
*
Just wonder how is the ride to Mengkuang Dam? Start from where? and how long would it take? I like to try this road also but don't know how to go..

A friend requested me to mod her foldie (bought from KSH BIkes) to 16 speed. She wanted to sell it and get another one but this Geometric is not even listed in the internet.  tongue.gif , 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.  thumbup.gif

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.

Yup, I'm staying Seberang Jaya. Just last Sunday, my wife and myself parked my car at jetty, took our bikes across on d ferry and cycled to Straits Quay to attend MITM travel fair. Bought trip to Taiwan on 3rd Nov with Lye Peng.. smile.gif Dropped over at sis place in Fettes Park and had dinner at Pang Hainan seafood (d buttered tiger prawns is to die for). Then it rained, they had to drop us and our bikes at the ferry. Left mainland at 4pm, reached home at 12.30midnite. Round trip <30km but we covered about 14km only due to the rain.

The track I use is thru Jln Kumbang Semang (paddy fields) to Kubang Semang town and use new flyover (good uphill) to Mengkuang Dam. From my house at Tmn Seri Arowana to Mengkuang Dam and back is about 35-40km. If u pusing2 Mengkuang dam, it takes more. Vehicles (inc buses and trucks) r more tolerant than anywhere else in Penang.

Gilbert, do u stay on mainland? If so, wanna join trip organized by Kelab Berbasikal Butterworth? It's on 15th Sept and can register at Eng Hong. Uncle recommended me the ride. The recent Heritage night ride also recommended by him. We registered for Cycling For A Lane 5 (CFAL5) on 8th of Sept also but it's 82+km against Road+Mountain Bikes. So, now training for that goal.. If not we KO!

Hahaha.. I stay near Raja uda, But not very familiar with Kumbang Semang.. Can i join u next time to Mengkuang Dam..?

What Event its that on 15th Sept by KBB?

I read ur previous post, did u do something with ur bike? what did u change or upgrade?

Sure. Weekdays: If 7am or 4pm, I normally go by myself, if 6+pm, I'll go with wife. Weekends: Either rides or hike at Cherok Tok Kun. Will info nxt time I ride. It's not consistent as I work shifts.

15/09: Kempen Kayuhan Berbasikal - Everyone Can Ride (Tony F, pls don't sue). Since u stay in R.Uda, u can get more info from Uncle. Too bad it clashes with Penang Star Walk 2013.

Apart from multiple LEDs for night rides, I only change saddle and install wireless meter with cadence.

There's a weekly night ride for BM riders. Gathering at Mini Velo (beside Hong Leong), Tmn Desa Damai every Thu by 8.30pm. Wanted to join yesterday but it rained.

Aisay man, don't be too quick to judge - especially when you lifted a picture from the internet.. You only got half the story..

This is not a local owner, but infact, a friend of mine from the Dahon Forums.

The photos shown was actually a 2008 Dahon Jetstream XP - full story here: DebCar's website

It appears that the XP was taken on trails, hard-ridden before it was completely broken down. It was used for jumps, and was also heavily modified for offroad rides.

No problems dude..

Carrie, the owner of the 2008 JXP has a wealth of information on the bike. Infact, it was a happy ending when he managed to get a new frame for the Dahon. It was completely retro-fitted. I found it amazing that he had built a new Kilo fork based on CAD design.

If there's a definite reference on riding a Dahon Jetstream on the trail, DebCar's site would the the ultimate resource.

In relation to what you saw, a large percentage of the Jetstreams here in Malaysia are garage queens. They are kept by collectors rather than ridden on the road & trail.

Posting a picture of the broken XP and saying that its a "tragedy" without ever finding out the real story is just plain misleading. Very irresponsible.
