disagree somewhat....
the boss here in the US in Duarte is in the bike bizz longer than me ( and thats a LOOOONG time )
the other guys are also pretty smart about bikes in general and Dahons in particular...

however, there is always one large sword hanging overhead, if you get very technical with consumers who want t change things around on your bikes. Its called product liability and believe me folks, that some lawyers have told us over the years to shut up and listen . but not open your own mouth if you get a call from somebody who wants to switch something around on a bike.

Its tragic, I know, I meanwhile go the route, that I say ... If it would be my personal bike than I would try this ...I will however never say. go ahead change this or that ...

Maybe I am wrong, but I see the guys as very knowledgeable ....

Just call them again, ask for Pete and say Thorsten send you to ask that question...
