    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    thank you so much guys, I'm going to buy this fork. It's the one and price is good. I hope it's going to work well!! I also need 20" wheel with disc brake and I'm considering this one...

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    Yes.. but it's going to be close double the price of the other entry level shock because it comes from china. Also, if I don't like it, it won't be re-sellable. With forks such as rockshox I'm sure I'd at least get something back if that doesn't fit me... I think I better order the rockshox...

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    aaah great thanks. A bit more expensive but I suppose that's as far as I can go. Is 50mm travel enough for potholes at 30mph? I was thinking a 26" fork with 100mm travel may be better?

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    Oh yes sorry I have a crown race but didn't fit very well actually. The bearing allowed smooth turning but it might be temporary. So getting this is my best bet? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rock-shox-tora-289-forks-/251763966485?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276#ht_108wt_1190

    Is this one better from your review? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suntour-XCR-LO-100-MTB-Suspension-Forks-WHITE-NEW-/351195163049?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item51c4dce9a9 But apparently the rockshox are better quality and easier to maintain...

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    :( :( :( No I didn't use a crown race and I don't know what it is :( What about this one instead of the tora? http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/64926/RockShox_XC30_TK_Coil_2015_Forks The other fork doesn't seem so nice and do not have great review either

    Or maybe I sell this dahon and get a proper 26" folding bike such as a montague?

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    I don't think I can return it because I started to trim the top tube :( I was thinking to sell it back in ebay... or somewhere else :( Would this one work for SURE? http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/64926/RockShox_XC30_TK_Coil_2015_Forks_RS8627000

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    In endless sphere they advise to completely change the fork as it is likely to lead to a catastrophic failure: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=65560&p=985597#p985597 Shall I listen to them and find another fork? :(

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    Hello all, I have changed the fork of my dahon jetstream to allow front disc brake and better suspension: It doesn't look as nice as I hoped... so I have few questions: - Would the frame hold the weight with the new geometry? It does look like a lot of weight will be managed by the middle of...

    Cheap Breakdown Recovery for Pedelecs and Pushbikes.

    I'm more interested into thieves and vandalism than breakdown. Getting the front or real wheel stolen is always something in my mind.

    Cheap Breakdown Recovery for Pedelecs and Pushbikes.

    What about thief and vandalism? Eg. I've lost my fromt wheel?

    Are Cheap Bikes OK.

    Yes but I would have thought that the BBS would go over hill better than hub. And bbs also accelerate faster. Anyway, keep me informed if this xiondga is ever better than the BBS. I'm using it now on the road bike, it feels faster and with more torque than my Q100H, but at the same time uses...

    Are Cheap Bikes OK.

    On my current BBS02, I accelerate almost as fast as my BPM. I start on biggest gear when I'm on a red light, then as soon as it turns green, I put max throttle power + human pedal. Now it really starts fast on my road bike. When I see the chain is close to max speed, then I change gear (but...

    Yes please tell me how it feels compared to the bbs02. I would have thought that many times you'd feel limited by motor max speed. Bbs02 do not have this issue
