I made a mistake in title, bike year 2023

Just a heads up for anyone packing a heavier weight on a smaller folder:
Carrying weight over 40-50lb (around 20kg) will put a significant force and increase the wear on both hinges over time, more so with any out of saddle riding.
I rode with around 20-25kg and I could feel a flex along the whole frame. After a while, I needed to adjust the hinges more and more.
In extreme cases, the wiggle could be a control problem at certain speeds.
Not sure if front panniers would mitigate this, never got around to trying.
