It seems the handlebar a bit out to the left if i centered the position of the front tire. Is this normal? Try to adjust by unclamping the handlebar but it cannot turn more to the right, obstruct by tiny stopper which locking the stem... Anyone knows how to adjust this or is this factory default.

Thanks

On the handlebar near the folding lever (near the head tube) , there's an allen nut. I think it is 6mm nut so you need a 6mm allen key. Loosen two to three turns and then use your leg to grip the tyres (standing in front of the bike). Adjust the handle bar till it is up to your satisfaction and then tighten back the allen nut. That's it! icon_rolleyes.gif

What dahon is that?
Boardwalk D8 has one lever for folding and one lever to adjust the height.
I open the height adjuster, adjust it nicely n tighten the nut before locking.

how u set ur saddle height?
follow the normal size bike setting in youtube?

if so, my toes will barely touched the ground but the riding motion is comfortable.
then i will have problem mounting and dismounting it.

Sometimes they do! nod.gif But you will feel it if it does. If it does just adjust it back. Dahon handlepost do get loosen especially after hard bumps but not in all bikes though. For this you need a 6mm wrench and turn the small little nut a little bit (only if it is loose). The nut is the one inside the handlepost and you can see it after you fold the handlebar, there's a small nylon piece and a nut there. Don't touch it if there's nothing wrong though shakehead.gif

The RD wise, I would advise for a change but as for the crank, I think the original 2 chain ring is OK already. You will need an RD adapter for it though. The Dash has no conventional RD hanger for the normal Shimano or SRAM RDs.

Depending on your budget. When you say SRAM XO, off course better than Shimano SLX, hahaha. Also what to get also depends on what your shifters are, unless you want to change shifters as well. But I think your Microshift shifters suits Shimano better.
