sorry, I decided 20" is not for me....
after some time now, having riden a very cheap 20" folder, then a cheap, used 16" folder, then a 20" 2008dahon, and just recently a 16" dahon with scwalbe big apples, I guess I have come to a conlusion, that 20" wheel folders are not for me.
yes, I understood, that the 20" was indeed fine for a once or twice commute home that is 40km. but then, my old 16" (previously 14") could tackle the job as well.
but when taking the train or bus, I think the smaller wheels are superior to their bigger wheels brother.
yes, I know, the gear range on my 7speed 20" dahon is wider than the 3 speed internal geared hubs on the 16". but I hope I can still live with the narrower range on the 3 speed hubs.
and one last thing: when climbing the stairs at the elevated train station. (what? no escalators? yes there is, but has been always out of order..) approx. 4 storeys high.....,
a vitesse would still feel awkwardly heaevier than a 16" wheel curve....
so, at least until tomorrow, I 'll never fall in love again...
I'll never fall in love again.....(with a 20")
(the carpenters?)
sorry! considering to sell my vitesse.
replace it with a speed p8?
(oh no, my wife is screaming behind me right now...)
