Aftermarket wheelsets for Dahon?
Does anyone know of any aftermarket 20" / 406 wheelsets for Dahons?
I've seen one or two expensive lightweight racing options, but I'm looking more for a sturdy utility / touring wheelset with quality hubs.
Is the Kinetic Comp wheelset the only real option for that?

Litepro, Wheelsport, Faxson, just to name a few.

You can always Hire them Hand Built with your pick of Hubs and Rims..
(my Bike Friday's 406 wheels have German hubs and Sun CR18 rims ..

I saw the Litepro ones on the Thor site, but they were low spoke count and more than I would like to spend for replacement wheels on an inexpensive folder. I can't find any information on wheelsport or faxson wheelsets for dahons.
Hire who? The front hub seems to be the main issue for replacements. I actually have an extra kinetix comp rim with a busted front hub, but I haven't been able to find any good 74mm front hubs with the same spoke count.

Hire wheels built by people, Wheel builders in Bike shops . You have Local Bike Shops, NO?
Bike Friday build their own wheels , they can also build them for others . ( In Oregon.)
Mine have Dyno Hubs . and a 14 speed IGH.

wow I just counted all the different wheels on the website ....
25 different options ..
I think I have too many ..lol
pricewise you cant go wrong with Dahon replacement wheels ....
the JB front wheel is burly ..not the greatest lightweight wise
I could get 74 mm front hubs from phil wood... with 36 holes and a Ryde Andra rim in 406 ... bulletproof for sure, but not the lightest.... and very VERY expensive ...
whats your budget ?

I paid SGD170/USD120 for these Litepro K-fun. Solid and with a normal spoke count and lacing. 74/130mm OLD.
Check the BikeFriday store. They may have 74mm hubs.
