Update: 1625+ miles, i rode 77 miles in the moring and 23 in the afternoon yesterday and 25 miles today. The bike is doing great so far, the tires are wearing down pretty good and the brakes as well. Also i am getting in to Running, any thoughts or tips i should know. Stay tuned.

Great to hear you are enjoying the bike.

Used to have P8 myself until the hinge broke ( thank god wasnt cycling but was taking it off the rack) - since then i will steer clear from any foldables just in case

I would definitely recommend to check the hinges frequently just to avoid any serious injuries. When the bike eorked it was a pleasure to ride and took no space in our rented appartment

Yeah, check all moving parts, lubricate if needed. I usually lubricate every couple of weeks at the hinge and handle post areas.

Update: 1694+ miles, i rode 41 miles from palo alto to menlo park and back to san jose. I installed some kool stop multi weather v-brakes and got them on sale. The bike is still doing good, the tire upgrade or replacement is next. I had only one flat so far! My rear derailuer is getting upgraded as soon as i get another deraileur hanger. I have been playing around with the handlebar height i usually have it in relaxed full height mode or sport mode fully slammed.

this is my current setup: 1700+ miles in 5 weeks.

I sold the folding bike after 1800+ miles, it was developing a big creaking noise in the steering column, and flexing really bad. 5 weeks of owning it is not to bad, i change my mind a lot.
