Sometimes I rotate the pedals backwards to help a shift at a stop. For the cable, have you tried the "official" SA as well as
Sheldon's way? Did you get a new cable and indicator?
Oh, and I agree; the bike is quite heavy for a folder, but it's much sturdier than many I've seen. They were popular in both folding and non-folding designs in England where storage space was often limited.
