I came across some of the same concerns (integrity of the lock jaw over extended use) in other forums. My impression is that the bike is first a minivelo that if you have to fold, then you can do so. But if you're folding it in and out day after day, you'd be better off with a folder that's designed expressly for folding.
agree ....however , never heard of frame failure yet. do sell about 6 bolt kits every year ( aroud the world)
