Contact details LitePro
 

Can you provide contact details of LitePro or shops that deal with LitePro Wheels?
I am looking for a 16 inch 3 speed backwheel for a narrow frame (106mm width), that doesn't have a rear derailleur hanger. One possibility is a gear hub or a 3 speed cassette with an adapter as rear derailleur hanger.
Any suggestions for possible suppliers?

aliexpress have those wheels and parts from many sellers

Fn & David Related , family?

I understand (second hand) that the founder and CEO of FNHon was a former Dahon management team member. FNHon is not the first or last to set up shop building Dahon copies, knockoffs and look-alikes, sometimes using Dahon patented designs without permission or paying royalties.

Dr. David Hon's original mission was to green the earth by putting the maximum number of bottoms on bikes and Dahon the company rarely takes legal action against other bike companies (the Brompton used the Dahon-patented 45º folding handlepost throughout the life of that patent). For this, he's regularly cast as a villain here on Bike Forum - Folding Bikes.

Never seen one in the metal, but reports here and elsewhere on the 'net indicate FNHon bikes seem to be pretty well turned out and now have some innovations of their own.

there was a Hon Metal Furniture company too, as I recall , that's why the Da- was added ..

Can you inform distributor who sell litepro branch?

Hi GTA, can you provide me a contact for the FNHON manufacturers or distributors/sellers please?

do you know where to find fnhon frames in china? i'm afraid of choosing the wrong store and get the counterfeit items.

This store is very nice

For some reason, Fnhon Gust is officially marketed as bike for the ladies here in Indonesia, they make ladies bike community out of it. I still can't wrap my head around it cause supposedly it's chromoly and not alloy and hence not very lightweight. *shrugs

Given the resilience required of the folding bikes, alu is not providing much of weight advantage while bringing risk of failure somewhere down the line. Gust looks like a nice bike, but I could not find a single photo of it being equipped with fenders. Is there any problem with having fenders on that bike, if you know?

I would love to be able to get an Fnhon Storm, V-brake frame/fork, here in the USA. Then I could have the bicycle that I want without having to buy a Dahon Speed and all of the parts on it that I don't want.

I would love to know haw far you were able to
successfully spread the fork of your CrMo Dahon
Boardwalk S1. Maybe I can do it with my Dahon Speed,
to accept 100mm front hubs.

I don't know if there's any particular issue with that but if it's helpful, mudguard isn't really the norm here in Indonesia and Singapore for custom bike. Probably because most are casual riders.

Thanks for the info. Of concern, though, is that some photos in a Google search must stem from other areas of the world, just by probabilistic considerations, and still no fenders are to be seen. In any case, the bike looks nice and I will look for opportunities to check it out in person and poke into the fender issue.

we are working on bamboo fenders that will fit the 16” models.
