This clamp came on my Mu P8, the screw is just to keep the clamp from moving, besides destroying the paint underneath I don't see any use for that screw, maybe my case is different because I had to remove the clamp so many times trying to resolve the seatpost slippage.
Overall I think Dahon offers great bikes, I took a Brommie for a spin and it was ridiculous compare to the Mu P8, even the Curve D3 is a much better ride by far. The Brommie felt like a bike from the mid 70's to me.
My case could be a warranty, the other Mu that I have got is fine, I need to give it a little tune up once a month but overall it's ok and pleasure to ride.
Dahon offers 5 year warranty and you can bump it up to a lifetime.
Brompton 5 year
Downtube 1 year
So it tells something about the quality.
