Trying to get this new or second hand. Anyone knows where I can get it from? Have checked with MBS but they have no stock. Silver colour needed. Trying to get it asap. Thanks.

Can give me some examples? Only know foldie shops presently. Also, if too long, the bar can be cut, right?

Purpose of posting in a forum is to narrow down things quicker. If I din have problems finding it in the first place, wouldn't have asked other forumers if they know. If don't want to promote a particular bike shop which I understand, can PM me? Sad

Would encourage changing your setup position first because
with your present setup sitting position, your height of the handle
are way up high above your waist of which for general/relax cruising
only.

Generally, Dahon foldie setup are good enough except might consider
future upgrading of the drivetrain groupset & wheels for easier climbing.

Just mine 2 cents.

Cheers,

I went to MBS to get the bike fitted properly to me and they suggested the 25.4mm and 16 degrees riser. But they had no stock so I tried to get it from elsewhere (with their knowledge). Eventually they got a couple in. I've just changed my seat post and the riser and now the fit feels much better. I do not have aches in my knees and my shoulders are not so strained now, unlike before. My Dahon was a perfect fit for a friend but a poor fit for me because I was straining to reach the handlebars and my pedalling posture was also wrong. These should be okay now.
