Cheaper than a tern or dahon. Plus I prefer 26"..I was riding a smaller bike then upsize to my current one. I checked out litepro.. Not bad! Within my budget also. But they Don seem to carry 26" Just need to find a shop that carries a variety for me to shop. Heheheh. Edited July 20, 2020 by livingproof54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to replace my 20" stock Dahon rim coz slightly bent and was told SG no have Dahon rim and cheapest is to go aftermarket price from $250 onwards. Somemore must go online to their website to make appointment to see their shop's "wheel specialist" for assessment first Knn....so sibei serious. It's juz a blardy recreational foldie. Even a 200k car I don't have to go thru such "specialist".....lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
