We have a Jack (2008) also but use it to throw in the boot of the car instead of riding it on the train. Due to the size of the bike the folding pedals really save very little if any. The pedal on the inside of the fold make little or no difference since you position it under the wheel during the fold. While the outside one would at most save you 3-4 centimeters. I've removed folding pedals on both my wifes jack and my strida cause it just doesn't feel as sturdy when standing on them, I have this feeling that they flex under load. But that new axis stem is pretty neat for folding which my model doesn't have. Wonder if you can bug dahon to do an upgrade for it since you did buy the 2010 model. I just checked the "Dahon USA" site and even the 2010 Jack there is supposed to come with an AXIS STEM. So I don't know what's dahon's excuse that they are Dahon USA.
