I'm in the process of having a new touring bike built (a Sakkit, by Bob Beckman), and had asked him to put S&S couplers on it, so that it could be a travel bike.

I'm having a few second thoughts about the couplers as I near the top of his queue, and wanted to hear from someone who's done both a folder (such as Bike Friday) and S&S.

Which do you prefer, assuming either short (1-2 day), or medium (1-2 week) tours?

Thanks for any insights.
