Problems with wheel misalignment when folded
Does your bike have a wheel misalignment when folded? Because right now, my wheels come apart when rolling.
To clarify, my bike is a b'twin tilt 500 with a catch system that supposedly keeps the wheels together. Nowadays, it fails to keep hold of the wheels for more than a revolution.
Any ideas, suggestions or past experiences to help please?

Use the velcro to keep it closed,...strap the front fork to the rear of the bike frame. The wheels will still roll. There's nothing special about the fold,...use the velcro strap right where the connecting latch is.

You're right, they can be adjusted! Just checked on mine this morning and all's well and good now. Thanks!

Keep the velcro strap in mind,...just in case. I carry some with me when I use my folders. It comes in handy when you least expect it.

Pleased to be of some assistance, however I would still take the precaution of carrying a Velcro fastener just in case.
I know there is at least 2x Btwin tilt 500 owners on here. If there are any more wouldn't mind starting up a new post on the pros & cons of this bike. It's not all bad , at least the frame is guaranteed for life & it's backed up by a large franchise company, " Decathlon"
Not trying to promote anything about the Btwin, I have a list of more cons at the moment & am upgrading a lot of components to make it the way I want it.
