I've been reading up on these forums, and I've seen a couple comments as how Dahon's use proprietary parts.

Are those just the smaller bikes , or does that include their full size lineup? I'm looking at the Matrix in particular.

Thanks in advance!

Mainly applies to their smaller bikes, most specifically the front hubs (~74 mm), the seat post, the handlebar stem, and now the forks (internally threaded).

I can't see why they'd use non-standard parts on the full-size; there's no need. But someone like Thor would know for sure.

Great question I was curious also as I want to change some parts on my Piccolo.
