serious ar then the guy whom i got it 2nd hand must have lied to me then lol

maybe stem isn't the right term.. nvm, i'll post a pic soon

as for now i'll just have to really tighten then QR level for adjusting the height of the handle bar/post n see if it still flexes

hmm nvm la, already bought ma

change to some decent fork n u can go offroad with it!

i believe the frame is the same, just as good

Following up Samo's explanation, the newer Dahon's handlepost do get loose after a while.



I would suggest sending back to the bike shop but it's actually quite simple to readjust.

(01) Loosen A. After this, the handle post is free to turn!
(02) Tighten B. This needs an extra large size allen key. Tighten just until the handle post is free to turn but don't
overtighten. The handlepost should be resistant free when turning.
(03) Once satisfied, realign the handlebar. Then tighten back A.

Check if the handlepost still wobbles. If it does, then it is nut C. I have a right size spanner (8 mm) in my saddle bag because my wife's Dahon handlepost gets loose after a few rides. This is the newer version handlepost. My older type don't have this problem.

If it still wobbles, check your locking mechanism. Is it easy and loose to lock? If should be a bit tight to lock and if it is quite loose, this is the culprit! Use a spanner (8 mm) to adjust the nut C a turn clockwise towards the nylon bush. Now try locking the handlepost again. It should be tighter and if the handlepost still wobbles but better then tighten another turn.

If both don't work, then you better send to a bike shop. But before that tighten the quick release on the handlepost extender and see if it is loose.

wht price he said?
i tot u said the hybrid is 43XX RM?

Can i use normal industrial grease in place of ceramic grease?

Am trying to get my hands on some for the squeaking sound from my seat post or seat railing

did u raise it high up?? if so then it is the weak point..
tht is why now dahon don't include this adjustable stem for models in japan...

i saw replacement parts in taobao for these fixed stem, got different height....

ceramic grease are for better heat distribution, good for the bearings...
since there is no moving parts around the seat clamp etc...
normal grease will suffice??

very very very useful (well,at least for me hehe)
tho mine is ony tourney rd
ther are many times i notice it realy does it job protecting de rd
against the wall, road divider, even from ur own feet
as i ride omos evriday
i glad it comes as a standard spec on my bike
it realy is useful
recomended

thanks Yun !! in That case, i will get one for my bike
