sounds good, mr.alcheng. if you run open lugs you can get longer studs and have all sorts of spacers to play with your vossens..


hummm...as for folding bike i think im down to two... dahon speed-p8 (699 amazon) or tern ink p9 (950 shipped from a bike shop). tern is owned and operated by the son of dahon's originator so i trust the quality...

Looks like someone is going to give out some cash tonight...

Mr.kenchan, too bad I am not using open lugs.. so will have to talk to the mechanic to see if it's safe to take off that 5mm...

The Link P9 is definitely much better, lighter and easier to fold... better style too Good Luck on the purchase Mr.kenchan

wat bothers you about the rear? the camber setting or ...(?)

mr.alcheng, if you do plan to use open lugs and sandwich a 5mm spacer, i highly recommend the muteki steel lugs. duraliumium ones are imho too soft to do anything other than full thread.

yah, i like the Link P9 better... will see if a shop would let go the P8 for cheaper than 700... then it might make sense to get the dahon..hummmm....

opss... a wrong P8
mr.alcheng- thanks for helping out. yah, i was looking at the tern D8 as well, but for now im waiting to see if the shop selling the dahon p8 will let loose for 550. if not, im most likely going to get the tern link P9 (900 + 50 to ship).

Saw my Z concubine 1am today after a month long of absence. Drove her I-75 south for about 30mins of intense manipulation. Then gave her a new K&N CAI as a gift to make her breath intensely even more.
