i like kampung....

aceHW? stuff there kinda a bit more expensive....
but bike chain lub, u can get it from bike shop?

but i use the one for motorcycle...., anti fling... very good.

when to the shop near my house they suggest 4t.. which i dont like..
got to visit farer shop i think.

went to a bigger bike shop to get this chain spray that cost me rm350 .... (spray rm20+ 2nd hand set of rims and road tyre for my rusty mtb)...


Attached thumbnail(s)

silicone spray is more like wd40, it is very thin right? the label shows liquid wrench
lub for chain needs to be thicker, specially formulated to stick to the chain....

Poisoned.....

But one of the shops in Malaysia selling another model, 703 for RM1400.

There will be a cycling group at Taman Pertanian Shah Alam this Sat 22/12/12 - 8:30am. Join if free

yup very thin, need to re-lube frequently. it help to clean the chain and leave thin coating on the chain.

hey guys, is the raleigh ugo a decent bike? i'm thinking of getting one to cycle n exercise while my ankle heals completely, had a slight ligament tear n cant play football (my main sports) for at least 3 months

so i'm thinking of getting a cheap decent foldie which i can also pass down to my sis when she comes back for good next april

To all the folding bikes sifu out there, i am following this forum for quite some time, really need ur advice on what bikes to go for... Went to a bikes shop at ss14, and very keen to get the tern link D8, price is rm1950-10%, but saw dahon new speed p8 is very interesting, rm2099-10%, both of the price quite similar, so I'm hoping all the sifu out there can give me some advice on which bike to go for, tern link D8 or Dahon speed p8? Price below 2k, if you all got better option than these 2, please share... Thanks in advance... Anyway, the price I mention above izzit ok? Or I can get cheaer price somewhere else? anyway, i'm not planing to get from ss14 shop, ppl who attended me not pro at all and also not friendly. Any shop can recommend? Thank you thank you...

Both the bikes are priced at the same category but Dahon's price has gone down quite a bit since a few years. They used to cost more, just check the prices in Singapore which is priced much higher than ours. Both are quality bikes but the Tern Link D8 is the least expensive model from Tern while Dahons have even cheaper models. I can't really give a real opinion as I am more inclined to the Dahons as my wife and daughter, in addition to myself ride Dahons.

The speed P8 is almost complete, meaning the hubs are cassette type (you can upgrade to 9 speed later by just buying a cassette, RD and shifter), the handle post can be adjusted, double walled Kinetix rims and the best part is the hand pump encased in the seat post! It is shodded with a good tyre, in short, it is complete.

Another consideration is, I also have an Eco C7 which is half the price of the Speed 8. After upgrading to 8 speed cassette, change to Deore RD and shifters, it also rides just as well. Need to change the saddle though, the Eco C7 has lousy saddle.

Most importantly, I think is to get up on the bikes and feel the ride position. If the shop allows you to cycle around, even much better but I doubt they will allow though. Buy the one that you feel more comfortable riding in. I too have been scouting in the forums for bargains and narrowed down to two shops in Dengkil which still sells the cheapest. Those air-conditioned bikes shops in PJ/D'sara area are expensive. Check out the shop in Dengkil.

P/S. Check this site for online bike shop in Korea. Not to buy your bikes here but the availability of Dahon parts compared to Terns. Almost any part can be found for Dahons!

Anyone looking for 7 speed freewheel cogs, gripshift and the Tourney rear derailleur ? I have a whole set taken out from Dahon Eco C7.

Hi etigge, thank you so much for the valuable inputs, now i know which one to go for... hehe... it time to go shopping... anyway, do you have any shop that carry dahon brand in KL/SEL area to introduce? Checked with Sin Guan Eng dengkil, unfortunately they dont carry dahon brand.

any lerun dealer can get dahon, just check the lerun dealer website.
frank foo in dengkil got dahon tern lerun i think.

hmm the ugo is outta stock everywhere indeed..

is the dahon eco c7 or boardwalk at 1.1k n 1.2k worth the extra rm500 over the ugo?
