anybody buy the doppleganger with 20% disc recently?

i juz bought tern p18, loving it.
but i hv problem on front cassete change gear. cant change with juz one press but need more presses....alignment derailleur problem?

i think, the gear change for front, is one really 'deep' click, to up shift, then it will shift.
it can't work like the rear where u can shallow click then shift, cos rear has 8 steps, where as front is just one.

Wow, where to get this??

Hi,

I'm a newbie looking for foldie, zero knowledge on bikes (technically, especially parts). Already read the entire of this forum and others.

I'm overwhelmed with all the brands & models of folding bikes available and couldn't decide which to purchase.


Bike in mind to have the following:
-light weight
-able to roll
-easy folding
-small size after fold, able to fit into a Kelisa car boot that is
-budget wise < RM3k
-for normal fitness riding & touring maybe; not for competition


At first saw the video of Tern-Verge X10, like the colour & it's lightweight and when I got to know the price nearly fainted. Slightly expensive.

Is Ori bike worth the buy? anyone riding this, can give some comment? cos I couldn't really find review on Ori, looks like not many people using or just merely no review.

Doppelganger -bluegate suggested by pskk, look very trendy with the colour combination.

On the folding mechanism, folding the body/frame vs folding the rear & front wheels, which is better? or it is up to the individual preference?

Appreciate some advise and recommendation.


Thanks.

hi,

let me share a bit of experience i went thru b4 i bought my 1st bike last wk.

weight n size of fold u can find on d specs of bike.usually more light means more expensive.
better take ur car n try fold size if can fit into ur car boot b4 buy.

not sure wat u mean by able to roll...

i compared ori & tern b4 buy.
summary by salesperson, ori is like bmw while tern is like camry.
not sure below $3k can get ori...models i saw was ar9, m series sports.
i thk fold at front n rear wheels better than at mid frame cos logic tells me a frame with no joint is better than a frame with one....but tat is juz my opinion.

i thk below $3k, u hv many options.don't get a cheap one as wear n tear on cheap one is faster n will not last u for years unless u juz wan try 1st later upgrade.

get one tat fits d description of ur rides. better yet get one tat can be upgraded, eg convert 9 speed into
18 speed.

i tried many of my frens foldie b4 buy, i juz wan to say tat good handling, comfort, etc comes with a price.
try test d bike b4 buy.

lastly i din try out doppelganger cos i had my eyes set on ori n tern.

there are parallel imports bike tat r cheaper than those fm local appointed distributors.
be careful as d specs differs.
i found ori ar9 which abt $400 cheaper but it uses lower specs n it's parallel import.
