folding bike

This is my Viking Safari 20" wheel aluminium folding bike. A jaunty looking bike in light/dark green with safari pattern paintwork and contrasting polished alloy components and silver mudguards. Like most 20" wheel bikes it provides a compromise between smallness of folding and ride quality...

Tern Link Folding Bike - With 8 Speed Shimano Claris. This has been great for me - but as I now working from home I no longer need it. it rides and looks much better than most folding bikes in my opinion the 20 inch wheels provide a stiff responsive ride. The folding is very easy and fast and...

Mezzo D10, the increasingly rare and ultimate incarnation of Jon Whyte’s original intriguing British design, a great bike for urban living and commuting. The 10 gears help you speed up your commute, and the lack of a hinge in the crossbar means the frame is nice and sturdy, so you won't...

I'm considering getting a turbo as life-stuff means I don't get much time to ride at the moment ... but space is a bit of an issue. However, I do have a Dahon folder which I used for bike commuting in the before times - it's not doing much at the moment. Are there any friction (i.e. cheaper)...

GCN sticks hill climb specialist on a Brompton up Cheddar Gorge. they don’t say, but it looks like a single speed. So he’s at an immediate disadvantage. Still impressive though. View: https://youtu.be/CCAwg9OMa84

Hi Guys. Possibly a bit of a strange ask. But looking at advice to improve the performance of my wife's folding bike. It is a Halfords bought Apollo Tuck. We use the folding bikes when we go away. Beneficial, as they can be loaded in to our Mini and stored there overnight. The Apollo has a 44t...

Hi - An update for all those here who helped advise - After many lock down months i've got the basics in place for a cycle round Hyde Park London....:tongue: This is an H-type superlite conversion btw.. 1. The pinstripe is protected by just applied frame protector which is why it looks a bit...

Ms Slomo is getting quite keen on riding around town on Boris Bikes but wants something lighter and I've been asked to come up with ideas. She lives in a first floor flat which shares a narrow hall and staircase. I thought that a folder might suit her needs as long as it's got biggish wheels...

I've got a Raleigh Evo 2 folder which has big chunky nuts holding the wheels on. Is there any technical reason peculiar to folding bikes why I shouldn't be able to replace these with QR skewers? TIA

Due to an ebay bidder backing out I still have my Dahon Piccolo D3 3 Speed Sturmey Archer Hub Excellent Condition, hardly used.

Not sure if this goes against the rules here, but I have my old bike bag for a 26" wheel Dahon for sale on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124433646381 If anyone fancies it and doesn't want to risk bidding for it at auction, let me know and I'll end the auction early (if there are no...

When riding behind somebody else's Brompton in wet weather, M6R to be specific, I could feel quite a bit of spray coming onto my face from that rider's rear wheel. The rear fender is on the short side and its mudflap is short. One reason for these sizes seems to be the interest in keeping the...

Does anyone use this type of stand for their bike? Saw Halfords use them for their collection area So assume they are pretty good. Seems the best option for my size of bike and where it’s going to be stored, just wondering how they are long term? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274393935558

I’m cleaning out my shed and came across a Dahon bag for a 26” folder. it came with a second-hand bike I bought and I’ve never used it. I opened it to check it out and it looks to be unused. The interior looks completely unmarked. the exterior of the folded package is a bit dusty and may have...

This is the 2015 model. It has always been stored in a garage and has very low mileage (I guess 200 miles or so) and so is in excellent condition. It has an 8 speed nexus hub and an aluminium frame (with cromoly forks). For more information about the Boston 8 see this video made by a bike shop...

Hi , I wonder if anyone has any experience of the Carrera Intercity Folding Bike as sold by Halfords. I would like first hand experience , pros and cons and is it easy to carry on a train ? Thanks !

The easiest and quickest way for me to get to work - is by car then by folding bike. The only problem is the chain oil gets on my trousers - my bike is a tern link with 20 inch wheels. I would like some over trousers that go over my work trousers - I want something that looks reasonably stylish...

As part of an on-going N-x, my old Decathlon folding bike needs to go. It's had very little use since I got a Brompton. Recently serviced, with a new gearshifter, as the old one was really scuffed up. 20" wheels, 6-speed Shimano, steel frame. The paintwork has been chipped, touched up, covered...

Hey all, Just need some advice on whether to purchase a second hand Brompton or not. 2017 Model with Mudguards, Pannier Rack + Bag - has only been ridden once. Selling at £795 Essentially I'm looking for a folding bike, as I tour the UK for work and wanted something to get me places instead of...

Maybe helpful for some. https://www.cyclist.co.uk/news/5629/hummingbird-electric-folding-bike-review

I know there is a gallery section, and forgive me if I'm wrong in posting this thread here, but I thought since it's "photo specific" to folding bikes it might be OK. If not, please delete the thread, as I have posted these photos on a thread within the gallery forum. I just thought it would...

I used to subscribe to Bicycling Magazine, but never bothered to renew. I haven't looked at the mag lately, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a mag that is dedicated to folding bikes, or at least a magazine that features articles on folding bikes on a regular basis?

Following my recent folding bike build I have the need for a bag to transport it in planes. I used a full sized padded bike bag when I flew to Spain but now I'm home and have more time, I have ordered a custom made bag for future use. What I'd like, is to line the bag with a lightweight...

North Devon Folding Bike Festival 2018 Just came across this event if anyone is interested in participating. http://www.foldingbikefest.co.uk/ From the blurb: "The North Devon Folding Bike Festival is a three day event for folding bike enthusiasts, that aims to bring like minded cyclists...

Hi All I bought this bike from Damien Harris cycles a couple of years ago. The current retail price for a new bike starts at £3329 but I have an unused rear rack, mudguards and a Birdy frame bag to go with it. The bike has hardly been used....I’m guessing at about 250 miles, so is in excellent...

Probably not in the same league as a Brompton however does the job at a fraction of the price. 7 speed, rear rack. £45 collected BB18.

You know that feeling? happily pedaling away and then... *SCHHHHWEEEP!!!* I felt like a lowly person (literally) any help or ideas on how to solve a slipping seat posts? it's so annoying and I don't know how to solve it.

Thinking of buying a cheap folder for occasional trips around York. Looks good value for £179. Anyone got one? What are they like?
