Bike Fit
Safety First
WARNING:
All related components of this bike only
specifically use Dahon original standard
specifications. Damage caused though
the use of non-originalgenuine parts is
not liable by the company.
All folding bicycles and P.A.Q. mini-bikes are
intended for use on paved roads only. P.A.Q.
mountain bikes are intended for use on hardpacked trails only, and are not intended for
jumps, stunts or other extreme sports.
Make sure your bicycle is used for its intended
purpose as the misuse may lead to the failure
of some component or part.
• Is your bike the right size? If your bicycle is
too large or too small for you, you may lose
control and fall. If your new bike is not the
right size, ask your dealer to exchange it
before you ride it.
• Is the saddle at the right height? To check,
see Section 3.A. If you adjust your saddle
height, follow the Minimum Insertion
instruc-tions in Section 3.A.
• Are the saddle and seat post securely
clamped? A correctly tightened saddle
will allow no saddle movement in any
direction. See Section 3.A.
• Are the stem and handlebars at the right
height for you? If not, see Section 3.B.
Can you comfortably operate the brakes?
If not, you may be able to adjust their
angle and reach.
• Do you fully understand how to operate your
new bicycle? If not, before your first ride,
have your dealer explain any functions or
features that you do not understand.
• Always wear an approved helmet when riding
your bike, and follow the helmet manu-facturer’s
instructions for fit, use and care.
• Do you have all the other required and recommended safety equipment? It’s your responsibility
to familiarize yourself with the laws of the area
where you ride, and to comply with all applicable
laws.
• Rider’s weight and luggage should not exceed
105kg (230lbs).
• Do you know how to correctly operate your wheel
quick releases? Check Section 4.A.1 and 4.A.2 to
make sure. Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel
quick release can cause the wheel to wobble or
disengage from the bicycle, and cause serious injury
or death.
• Are your wheel rims clean and undamaged? Make
sure the rims are clean and undam-aged along the
braking surface, and check for excess rim wear.
Periodically inspect your rims for excessive wear and
if you have any question on whether or not your rims
are safe, have them inspected by a bicycle dealer.
• Handlebar and Saddle Alignment: Make sure the
saddle and handlebar stem are parallel to the bike’s
centerline and clamped tight enough so that you
can’t twist them out of alignment.
• Handlebar Ends: Make sure the handlebar grips
are secure and in good condition. If not, have your
dealer replace them. Make sure the handlebar ends
and extensions are plugged. If not, have your dealer
plug them before you ride. If the handlebars have
bar-end extensions, make sure they are clamped
tight enough so you can’t twist them. Please note
that with the installation of some TT bars, criterium,
aero bars, bar ends or a triathlon style clip-on, your
response time for braking and steering may have
been adversely affected.
This Manual
• This manual is not intended as a comprehen-
sive guide to bicycling and maintenance. It can
not teach you all the mechanical skills you need
to repair a bicycle nor can it teach you all the
skills you will need to ride a bicycle. This manual
has a great number of tips and advice for the
specific bikes it comes with. If you are ever
unsure of how to maintain your bike, visit a
dealer and ask for advice.
Page 5
• Stop at Stop signs and traffic lights; slow down
and look both ways at street intersec-tions.
Remember that a bicycle always loses in a collision
with a motor vehicle.
• Use approved hand signals for turning and
stopping.
• Never ride with headphones.
• Never carry a passenger.
• Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
• Don’t weave through traffic or make unex pected
moves.
• Observe and yield the right of way.
• Never ride your bicycle while under the influ- ence
of alcohol or drugs.
• If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when
visibility is obscured, at dawn, dusk or in the dark,
or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions
increases the risk of accident.
• Ride in designated bike lanes, on desig-nated
bike paths or as close to the edge of the road as
possible, in the direction of the traffic flow or as
directed by local governing laws.
WARNING:
Wet weather impairs traction, braking and
visibility, both for the bicyclist and for other
vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an
accident is dramatically increased in wet
conditions.
Wet Weather Riding
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of
your brakes (as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced
and your tires don’t grip nearly as well. This
makes it harder to control speed and easier to
lose control. To make sure that you can slow
down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride
more slowly and apply your brakes earlier and
more gradually than you would under normal,
dry conditions. See also Section 4.B.
WARNING:
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself
with the laws where you ride and to comply
with all applicable laws, including properly
equipping yourself and your bike as the law
requires.
Observe all local bicycle laws and regulations.
Observe regulations about bicycle lighting,
licensing of bicycles, riding on sidewalks, laws
regulating bike path and trail use, helmet laws,
child carrier laws, and lspecial bicycle traffic
laws. It’s your responsibility to know and obey
your country’s laws.
• Always do check the safety of your bike before
you ride it.
• Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your
bicycle: brakes (Section 4.B);
pedals (Section G);
shifting (Section 4.C).
• Be careful to keep body parts and other
objects away from the sharp teeth of chain rings,
the moving chain, the turning pedals and cranks,
and the spinning wheels of your bicycle.
The Basics
04
Safety
• Ride defensively. Always assume that others
do not see you.
• You are sharing the road or the path with others-
motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect
their rights.
• Look ahead, and be ready to avoid:
»» Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or
your lane ahead of you, or coming up behind you.
»» Parked car doors opening.
»» Pedestrians stepping out.
»» Children or pets playing near the road.
»» Potholes, sewer grating, railroad tracks,
expansion joints, road or sidewalk
con-struction, debris and other.
»» The many other hazards and distractions which
can occur on a bicycle ride.

Night Riding
WARNING:
Reflectors are not a substitute for
required lights. Riding at dawn,
at dusk, at night or at other times
of poor visibility without an adequate
bicycle lighting system and without
and motorists if the necessary lights
reflective is dangerous and may result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
Check reflectors and their mounting
brackets regularly to make sure that
they are clean, straight, unbroken and
securely mounted. Have your dealer
reflectors damaged reflectors and
straighten or tighten any that are bent
or loose.
Riding a bicycle at night is many times
more dangerous than riding during the day.
A bicy-clist is very difficult for motorists and
pedestri-ansto see. Therefore, children
should never ride at dawn, at dusk or at
night. Adults who choose to accept the
greatly increased risk of riding at dawn, at
dusk or at night need to take extra care both
riding and choosing special-ized equipment
that helps reduce that risk. Consult your
dealer about night riding safety equipment.
Bicycle reflectors are designed to pick up
andreflectors car lights and streetlights in
a way that may help you to be seen and
recognized as a moving bicyclist.
If you choose to ride under conditions of
poor visibility, check and be sure you comply
with all local laws about night riding, and
take the following strongly recommended
additional precautions:
• Purchase and install a generator or battery
powered head and taillight that meet all
local regulatory requirements and provide
adequate visibility.
• Wear light-colored, reflective clothing
andaccessories, such as a reflective vest,
reflective armand leg bands, reflective
stripeson your helmet, flashing lights
attached to your body and/or your bicycle.
• Make sure your clothing or anything you
may be carrying on the bicycle does not
obstruct a reflector or light and securely
mounted reflectors.
• Make sure that your bicycle is equipped
cor-refly with reflectors.
• Ride slowly.
• Avoid dark areas and areas of heavy
or fast-moving traffic.
• Avoid road hazards.
While riding at dawn,
at dusk or at night:
If riding in traffic:
• Be predictable. Ride so that drivers can see
you and predict your movements.
• Be alert. Ride defensively and expect the
unexpected.
• Ask your dealer about traffic safety classes
or a good book on bicycle traffic safety.

WARNING:
If your seat post projects from the
frame beyond the Minimum Insertion
or Maximum Extension mark, the seat
post may break, which could cause
you to lose control and fall.
Saddle Position
WARNING:
After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle
adjusting mechanism is properly tightened before
riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post binder can
cause damage to the seat post, or can cause you to
lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle
adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement
in any direction. Periodically check to make sure that
the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
WARNING:
The stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must not be
visible above the top of the headset. If the stem
is extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark,
the stem may break or damage the fork’s steerer
tube, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING:
An insufficiently tightened stem binder bolt,
handlebar binder bolt or bar-end extension
clamping bolt may compromise steering action,
which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Place the front wheel of the bicycle between
your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem
assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to
the front wheel, turn the handle-bars in relation
to the stem, or turn the barend extensions in
relation to the handlebar, the bolts are
insufficiently tightened.
NOTE:
Small changes in saddle position can have a
substantial effect on performance and comfort.
To find your best saddle position, make only
one adjustment at a time.
NOTE:
If your bicycle has a suspension seat post,
periodically ask your dealer to check it.
NOTE:
Your dealer can also change the angle of the
of handlebar or bar-end extensions.
Correct saddle adjustment is an important
factor in getting the most performance and
comfort from your bicycle. If the saddle
position is not comfortable for you, see
your dealer.
The saddle can be adjusted in
three directions:
Handlebar Height and Angle
• Up and down adjustment. To check for
correct saddle height:
»» Sit on the saddle.
»» Place one heel on a pedal.
»» Rotate the crank until the pedal with your
heel on it is in the down position and the
crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your
saddle height needs to be adjusted. If your
hips must rock for the heel to reach the
pedal, the saddle is too high. If your leg
is bent at the knee with your heel on the
pedal, the saddle is too low.
Once the saddle is at the correct height,
make sure that the seat post does not
project from the frame beyond its “Minimum
Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark.
• Front and back adjustment. The saddle
can be adjusted forward or backward to
help you get the optimal position on the bike.
Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your
optimal riding.
• Saddle angle adjustment. Most people
prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders
like the saddle nose angled up or down just
a little. Your dealer can adjust the saddle
angle.

Wheels
Installing a Quick Release Front Wheel
CAUTION:
IIf your bike is equipped with disk brakes,
be careful not to damage the disk, caliper
or brake pads when re-inserting the disk
into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake’s
control lever unless the disk is correctly
inserted in the caliper. See also Section 4.B.
WARNING:
Securely clamping the front and rear wheels
takes consider-able force. If you can fully close
the quick release without wrapping your fingers
around the fork blade for leverage. and the llever
does not leave a clear embossed mark in the
surface of your fork, the tension is insufficient.
Open the lever; turn the tension-adjusting nut
clockwise a quarter turn; then try again
Installing a Quick Release Rear Wheel
• Move the quick-release lever so that it
curves away from the wheel. This is the
OPEN position.
• With the steering fork facing forward, insert
the wheel between the fork blades so that the
axle seats firmly at the top of the slots that are
at the tips of the fork blades - the fork dropouts.
The quick-release lever should be on the left
side of the bicycle.
• Holding the quick-release lever in the OPEN
position with your right hand, tighten the tensionadjusting nut with your left hand until it is tight
against the fork dropout.
• While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of
the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the same
time centering the wheel rim in the fork, move
the quick-release lever upwards and swing it
into the CLOSED position.
• The lever should now be parallel to the fork
blade and curved toward the wheel. With the
right amount of force, the lever should make a
clear embossed mark on the sur face of the fork.
• If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to
a position parallel to the fork blade, return the
lever to the OPEN position. Then turn the
tension-adjusting nut counterclockwise one-
quarter turn and try tightening the lever again.
• Re-engage the brake quick-release mecha-nism
to restore correct brake pad-to-rim clearance;
spin the to make sure that it is centered in the
frame and clears the brake pads; then squeeze
the brake levers and make sure that they work.
• Pull the derailleur body back with your right hand.
• Make sure that the rear derailleur is still in its
outermost, high-gear position.
• Move the quick-release lever to the OPEN
iposition. The lever should be on the side of
the wheel opposite the derailleur and free-wheel
sprockets.
• Put the chain on top of the smallest free-wheel
sprocket. Then, insert the wheel up and back into
the frame dropouts and pull it all the way in to the
dropouts.
• Tighten the quick-release adjusting nut until
it is finger tight against the frame dropout; then
swing the lever toward the front of the bike until
it is parallel to the frame’s chain stay or seat stay
and is curved toward the wheel. To apply enough
clamping force, you should have to wrap your
fingers around a frame tube for leverage, and
the lever should leave a clear embossed mark
in the surface of your frame.
Page 9
The action of a rim-actuated brake on a bicycle
is a function of the friction between the brake
surfaces - usually the brake pads and the wheel
rim. To make sure that you have maximum
friction available, keep your wheel rims and brake
pads clean and free of dirt, lubricants, waxes or
polishes. Another important bicycle brake is a
disc brake. To install disc brakes, special disc
brake mounts on the frame and fork and special
hubs are necessary. These brakes are small and
rely on brake pads that squeeze both sides of a
small disc rotor that is mounted on each wheel.
Disc brakes are quite resistant to weather and
provide very strong stopping power on steep hills
or on wet terrain and are well suited for heavy
riders.
Riding with improperly adjusted brakes
or worn brake pads is dangerous and
can result in serious injury or death.
Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly
can lock up a wheel, which could cause
you to lose control and fall. Sudden or
excessive application of the front brake
may pitch the rider over the handlebars,
which may result in injury or death.
Some bicycle brakes, such as disc brakes
and linear-pull brakes, are extremely
powerful. Exercise particular care when
using them.
Disc brakes can get extremely hot with
extended use. Be careful not to touch a
disc brake until it has had plenty of time
to cool.
See the manufacturer’s instructions for
operation and care of your brakes. If you
do not have manufacturer instructions,
call your dealer or the brake manufacturer.
08
NOTE:
In the UK and Japan, the right lever
controls the front brake while the left
lever controls the rear brake. All brakes
should be adjusted according to local
regulations.
NOTE:
Make sure that no oil or lubrication
touches your brake pads or the bicycles
rims’ braking surfaces. Please replace
worn brake shoes only with factory
authorized brake replacements.
Brakes – Rim Brakes
& Disc Brakes
Brake Controls and Features
How Brakes Work
It’s very important to learn and remember
which brake lever controls what brake.
Your bike will come already set and adjusted
so that the right brake lever controls the rear
brake. The left lever controls the front brake.
Make sure your hands can reach and squeeze
the brake levers.
Brakes are designed to control your speed, not
just to stop the bike. Maximum braking force for
each wheel occurs at the point just before the
wheel “locks up” (stops rotating) and starts to skid.
Once the tire skids, you actually lose most of your
stopping force and completely lose directional
control.
Page 10
The front derailleur, which is controlled by the
left shifter, shifts the chain between the larger
and smaller chain rings. Shifting the chain onto
a smaller chain ring makes pedaling easier
(a downshift). Shifting to a larger chain ring
makes pedaling harder (an upshift). There are
2 (two) adjustment screws on the front derailleur:
one is to limit the travel of the front derailleur so
that the chain can be shifted upwards towards
the larger, higher or harder to pedal gears but
will not allow the chain to “overshift.” The other
screw limits the travel of the front derailleur
towards the smaller or easier-to-pedal chain wheel. By limiting travel, it prevents the chain
from “undershifting” and keeps the chain from
falling off the chainwheel onto the frame.
09
Shifting Gears
How a Derailleur Drive Train Works
Shifting Gears
The right shifter controls the rear derailleur.
The function of the rear derailleur is to move
the drive chain from one gear sprocket to
another. The smaller sprockets on the rear
wheel gear cluster produce higher gear ratios.
Pedaling in the higher gears requires greater
pedaling effort, but takes you a greater distance
with each revolution of the pedal cranks. The
larger sprockets produce lower gear ratios.
Using them requires less pedaling effort, but
takes you a shorter distance with each pedal
crank revolution. There are two set screws or
limit screws on the rear derailleur body that
limit the
travel of the rear derailleur. Tightening the
rear derailleur high gear adjustment screw
keeps the chain from shifting off the small
(high) gear that is on the rear axle. Tightening
the rear derailleur low gear adjustment screw
keeps the chain from shifting off the large (low)
gear into the rear wheel. Moving the chain
from a smaller sprocket of the gear cluster
to a larger sprocket results in a downshift.
Moving the chain from the smaller sprocket
on the chain rings to a larger sprocket results
in what is called an “upshift.” In order for the
derailleur to move the chain from one sprocket
to another, the rider must be pedaling forward.
Shifting the Rear Derailleur
Your multi-speed bicycle will have a derailleur
drive train, an internal gear hub drive train or, in
some special cases, a combination of the two.
If your bicycle has a derailleur drive train, the
gear-changing mechanism will have:
»» A rear cassette or freewheel sprocket cluster.
»» A rear derailleur.
»» Usually a front derailleur.
»» One or two shifters.
»» One, two or three front sprockets called
chain rings.
»» A drive chain.
There are several different types and styles
of shifting controls: levers, twist grips, triggers,
combination shift/brake controls and push
buttons. Ask your dealer to explain the type of
shifting controls that are on your bike, and to
show you how they work.
A downshift is a shift to a “lower” or “slower”
gear, one that is easier to pedal. An upshift is
a shift to a “higher” or “faster”, harder to pedal
gear. To select a gear that will make pedaling
easier on a hill, make a downshift in one of
two ways: shift the chain down (the gear
“steps” to a smaller gear at the front) or shift
the chain up (the gear “steps” to a larger
gear at the rear.) So, at the rear gear cluster,
what is called a downshift actually moves the
chain up to a larger gear. The way to keep
things straight is to remember that shifting
the chain in towards the centerline of the bike
is for accelerating and climbing and is called
a downshift. Moving the chain out or away
from the centerline of the bike is for speed
and is called an upshift.
Whether upshifting or downshifting, the bicycle
derailleur system design requires that the drive
chain be moving forward and be under at least
some tension. A derailleur will shift only if you
are pedaling forward.
Shifting the Front Derailleur
Page 11
10
WARNING:
Never shift a derailleur onto the largest
or the smallest sprocket if the derailleur
is not shifting smoothly. The derailleur
may be out of adjustment and the chain
could jam, causing you to lose control
and fall.
Which Gear Should I Be In?
The combination of largest rear and smallest
front gears is for the steepest hills. The smallest
rear and largest front combination is for the
greatest speed. It is not necessary to shift gears
in sequence. Instead, the “starting gear” which
is right for your level of ability --a gear which is
hard enough for quick acceleration but easy
enough to let you start from a stop without
wobbling -- and experiment with upshifting and
downshifting to get a feel for the different gear
combinations. At first, practice shifting where
there are no obstacles, hazards or other traffic
until you’ve built up your confidence. Learn to
anticipate the need to shift, and shift to a lower
gear before the hill gets too steep. If you have
difficulties with shifting, the problem could be
mechanical adjustment. See your dealer for help.

All 16- and 20-inch wheeled folding bicycles
can be transported by the methods described
in sections a, b, c, and d below. Bikes with
24- and 26-inch wheels, as well as road bikes
with 700c wheels, have limited carrying ability
and will not fit in public conveyance overhead
compartments. Of course, using the methods
described in sections c and d below are no
problem. Our suggestion for commuting and
medium distance travel is that it is best to use
a nylon bag carry bag. For long distance travel,
the 24- and 26-inch wheeled bikes, and 700c
road bicycles, should be packed in a sturdy
travel case.
23
Transporting Your Bike
Carrying
Carrying a 16- to 20-inch wheeled folded bicycle
is quite easy for extra short to medium distances.
For Jetstream full suspension bicycles, make sure
you have the black nylon strap that came with
your bike to bind the wheels together. Simply
grab the bicycle and carry by the saddles edge.
When crossing a threshold, boarding a bus, train
or airplane or stowing the bike in an overhead
compartment, you will need to pick your bicycle
up. When the occasion arises that you need to
travel or commute and want your bicycle with you,
feel confident knowing your bike is ready when
you are.
Rolling
A much easier and more efficient method to
transport your 16 to 20-inch wheeled bicycles
is to roll them on their wheels. Remember that
the Jetstream fork and frame must be bound
together so the wheels will roll. Raise the folded
bikes seatpost and saddle approximately
305mm (12 inches) and tilt or angle the folded
bike towards you. Then simply push the bicycle
forward. This conveyance method is perfect for
travel from parking lots to a bus, train or airplane
terminal and transition from rough tarmac or
driveways to smooth granite or tile floors.
Bag
This is a clean and effcient method of packing
and carrying any of the many Dahon bicycles.
Simply place the folded, collapsed or packedaway bicycle on the opened bag that is lying on
the floor. There are spacious internal pockets
for any parts that must be removed such as
pedals and any tools that you might need later.
A nice neat package is visible when the sides
of the bag are pulled up tight and the handle/
shoulder strap is fastened. The entire operation
takes only a few seconds. It is perfect to carry
your bike on any sort of public conveyance or
to carry in a car. However, the bag is not
approved for airline check in.
Travel Case
A semi-hard travel case is a perfect long
distance transportation solution for many
folding bicycles. They work well on any
public transportation system. Many travel
cases are safe enough to withstand the
most difficult luggage safety challenge,
which is checking luggage in at the airport.
You can find travel cases large enough for
most 16-,20-, and 24-inch wheeled bicycles.
However, when carrying bikes with 26-inch
wheels, the wheels must be removed.

Service
WARNING:
Under the technology improvement, the bike's parts are getting more complex. And
the pace of innovation in advancing continued. So the manual can not provide all
information of right repair or maintenance for your bike. In order to decrease the rate
of accident and consequence of injuries, Please have your dealer perform the manual's
exclusion of specific repair and maintenance. According to geographical location and
other methods from riding conditions to determine your individual maintenance
requirements is also a very important matter.
WARNING:
Many bikes' maintenance and repair require special (techniques and tools. Before you
learn how you adjust or maintenance from your distributor, please do not start any
adjustment or maintenance. Wrong adjustment or maintenance may damage bikes or
result in the serious accident of injury or death.
24
Service Interval
Some service and maitenance can and should be performed by the owner, and requires no special tools
or knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual. The following are examples of the type of service
you should perform yourself. All other service, maintenance and repair should be performed in a properly
equipped facility by a qualified bicycle mechanic, using the correct tools and procedures speclified by the
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
After riding (especially riding in the rain), please clean it immediately, otherwise
your lbeloved bike's appearance will corrode faster. The position as arrow in the
above picture is very important. Under the dust, please be sure it is clean, then
fold it up. If not, the dust will enter into the middle tube to damage the inner slide
bushing.
Please clean the
part immediately.
Please clean the

WARNING:
Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its
components are subject to wear and stress.
Different materials and mechanisms wear or
fatigue from stress at different rates and have
different life cycles. If a component's life cycle
is exceeded, the component can suddenly and
catastrophically fail, causing seriou7s injury
or death to the rider. Scratches, cracks, fraying
and discoloration are signs of stress-caused
fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of
its useful life and needs to be replaced. While
the materials and workmanship of your bicycle
or of individual components may be covered
by a warranty for a specified period of timeby
the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the
product will last the term of the warranty.
Product life is often related to the kind of riding
you do and to the treatment to which you
submit the bicycle cannot be broken or will
last forever. It only means that the bicycle is
covered subject to the terms of the warranty.
Check the frame, particularly in the area around
all tube joints; the handlebars; the stem; and the
seat post for any deep scratches, cracks or
discoloration. These are signs of stress-caused
fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of
its useful life and needs to be replaced.
Break-in Period
Your bike will last longer and work better if you
break it in before riding it hard. Control cables
and wheel spokes may stretch or “seat” when
a new bike is first used and may require
readjustment by your dealer. Your Mechanical
Safety Check will help you identify some things
that need readjustment. But even if everything
seems fine to you, it is best to take your bike
back to the dealer for a checkup. Dealers
typically suggest you bring the bike in for a
30-day checkup. Another way to judge when
it is time for the first checkup is to bring the
bike in after three to five hours of hard off-road
use, or about 10-15 hours of on-road or more
casual off-road use. But if you think something
is wrong with the bike, take it to your dealer
before riding it again.
After Every Long Hard Ride
If the bike has been exposed to water or grit,
or at least every 100 miles, clean it by wiping
it clean and lightly oil the chain with a dry Teflon
lubrication or a synthetic based chain lube.
Then, very importantly, wipe off excess oil.
Long lasting lubrication is a function of climate.
(Hot or cold, wet or dry.) For general cycle
lubrication, Dahon suggests using lightweight
mineral based oil that is commonly available
in most bike shops or hardware stores. If you
have any questions, please talk to your dealer
as an incorrect lubricant can damage the
painted surfaces.
After Every Long Hard Ride or
After 10 to 20 Hours of Riding
Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike
forward and back. If you feel a clunk with
each forward or backward movement of the
bike, you probably have a loose headset.
Have your dealer check it.
Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing
it from side to side. If you feel any binding or
roughness in the steering, you may have a
tight headset. Have your dealer check it.
Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away
from the centerline of the bike; then do the same
with the other pedal. Anything feel I loose? If so,
have your dealer check it.
Take a look at the brake pads. Starting to look
worn or not hitting the wheel rim squarely?
Time to have the dealer adjust or replace them.
Carefully check the control cables and cable
housings. Any rust? Kinks? Fraying? If so, have
your dealer replace them.
Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either
side of each wheel between your thumb and index
finger. Do they all feel about the same? If any feel
loose, have your dealer check the wheel.
Check to make sure that all parts and accessories
are still secure, and tighten any that are not. When
replacement parts are necessary, be sure to use
factory authorized replacement parts from your
local authorized Dahon dealer.
