A pity to hear about some (minor and major) problems with the DT.

A real Joy to hear how Yan is handling this, now that is speed and service!
I seems like almost all the issues are a thing of the past on the newer models and i very much appreciate this extremely swift (no pun intended) action, is also of a quality and speed i have never encountered at all the 50 or more LBS i have patronized.

But to put the failures in perspective, to my knowledge untill about 4 years ago Dahon was plagued my a lot of similair small problems and some larger ones resulting from poor design. I took some time for them to get themselves in gear and remedy this. Glad to hear that Yan is doing it at hyperspeed by comparison.

About the BB, are you sure it needs replacement?! It is quite normal for new components/any bearing assembly to develop some play and need readjustment when they are brand new.. Maybe all it needs is a little 5 minute tweaking job....
