Last known price was S$1500, but now can not find in Singapore.

Anyone here can advice?

My bro bought his Dahon from USA and shipped it in many years ago. Much cheaper.

Why not??? Everything is changeable. Look for a reputable shop to change. Or buy your own rims and find a shop to change for you.

Depends on the rim size, it may not be cheap

Does anyone hv bike shops to recommend for rims purchase? I am staying Woodlands so preferably not too far off. I only went to a bike shop beside sembawang shopping centre before. In case there r limited choices there i still have a backup plan. Tks!

I can budget out a few hundreds for it. Cheaper than a tern or dahon. Plus I prefer 26"..I was riding a smaller bike then upsize to my current one. I checked out litepro.. Not bad! Within my budget also. But they Don seem to carry 26" Just need to find a shop that carries a variety for me to shop. Heheheh.

Any shop to recommend that doesn't robert or take themselves too seriously?

I wanted to replace my 20" stock Dahon rim coz slightly bent and was told SG no have Dahon rim and cheapest is to go aftermarket price from $250 onwards. Somemore must go online to their website to make appointment to see their shop's "wheel specialist" for assessment first

Knn....so sibei serious. It's juz a blardy recreational foldie. Even a 200k car I don't have to go thru such "specialist".....lol

Unlike your 200k car, bicycle wheel building is a niche and specialized skill.

It's actually a miracle that the spokes are supporting between the hub and the rim without collapsing under weight/load, same as some motorcycle/scrambler.
