Jetstream p8 questions
Hey Guys
I have some questions regarding the Jetstream p8
1) Where can i get a kickstand that will fit? I went to my LBS they didn't have anything
2) Where do I get a book rack and fender?
3) being new to folding bikes, What's the basic maintenance that I need to do on a regular basis?
4) where do i get parts if things starts to wear out or break off? specially the suspensions, because it doesn't look like the typical parts I would see on my LBS
5) Are there any cool modifications I can do to the Jetstream?
6) Any tip or anything special I need know about being a folding bike owner, specially for the Jestream model?
I'm really liking this whole folding bike Idea, I'm thinking of also purchasing a Speed TR. lol
Thank in advance.

In the long-term I'd add an 8 speed hub gear to the Jetstream such as the Shimano Alfine with rear disc brake.
SKS mudguards should fit with a little adjustment.
Spare parts shouldn't be a problem from Dahon and a main dealer like ThorUSA (Brakemeister) will take care of your needs there.

It is a a beautiful bike but for that price you could get a Jetstream p8 and fit an Alfine 11 speed to it. And have money left over.

The German A fromt suspension fork is pretty special and costs €900 alone! Apart from absolutely top-end mountain bike components it's a better frame too. Don't get me wrong the P8 is a great bike!

right now i do not have a kickstand which will fit the jetstream ... and probably more worrysome yet I dont know if there is one which will fit ...
simply no room or possibility to mount one behind the ( very high) bottom bracket
adjustable rear MIGHT work ... but I havent ried one out
maybe when its a little cooler in the warehouse I find a way of trying one ...
lol
