Thank you, thank you, thank you! The non-unified frame point seems to have been the problem. I couldn't find any hard plastic yet but I found some REALLY hard rubber that I fashioned to replace the softer rubber bumpers that I had replaced the original spring with. I tightened it as tight as I could to make it stiff. It shifts perfectly without skipping at all. Completely solved the problem. I also took apart the hub a little bit just to see how that works. I ran into a problem reassembling it because the SA instructions are wrong but luckily some folks on Bike Forums have the correct instructions and it went back together fine the second time. I am back to loving my folder. Off to pootle around some more. Thanks again everyone.
