Anyone using Rival or Apex on their folder?
I'm considering building up a 26 inch folder with either Apex or Rival. Has anyone in the forum done this? Are there any considerations for using the SRAM road groups on a folder?

Most folders use flat bars, so few people build a folder using road groupsets.
The smaller diameter wheels are going to affect the gearing a little bit, make sure to include that in your calculations.
Offhand I don't see much reason to use Rival. I'd also think that if you really want a portable roadie, you might consider S&S couplers on a 700c bike or a Ritchey Breakaway.

Bike Friday is able to use that or any group you want,
the STI version of their H bar curves upward,
you fit a Brifter there..
or use the drop bar of your choice ,
minus the split bar packing convenience.
though, of course, Drop Bars increase the fold width.
their 451 wheel Pocket Rocket may intrest you,
or a drop bar modification on a Tikit.
