Got a 2011 Dahon Jetstream (got it last year from Holland). Short version is that I guess due to being stored for so long or maybe a fault, it won’t fold and unfold properly. Also some of the metal around the bracket/near the hinge has chipped off. The bike does fold but it’s really hard, also squeaks a bit as well, a real faff.
I have asked for advice from local bike shop, also online shops etc and I cant get a real answer on how to resolve. I have tried squirting penetrating fluid, also concentrated ammonia etc ec but although at first the hinge seems a bit more free, it reverts to type eventually.
I need someone who is a whizz at this kind of thing to please take a look, take apart if necessary and see if this can be resolved.
If anyone know an expert in the Home Counties please let me know
Many thanks
