Re: Folding Bikes
Cross posted to uk.rec.cycling because people on there probably know a lot
more about folding bikes than do most caravanners. Follow-up set to uk.rec.caravanning ...

Depends what you want the MTB for, why you want a folder, and what you consider to be "budget priced". If the MTB is for more than the odd forestry gravel track, I wouldn't get a cheap folder (because it might fold when I didn't want it to). Dahon do some nice folders, but they are not what I expect you'd call "budget- priced". If you only want a folder to get it inside a caravan, and have ten minutes assembly time once you're on site, you could take the wheels off, turn the handlebars, collapse the seatpost, remove the pedals, and then cover the transmission to protect the caravan furnishings. Of course, if you want to carry the bike around (say, on a train), partial dismantling isn't an option. However, I'm hoping that someone on uk.rec.cycling can come up with much better advice than I can give. Geoff |

It might just fold when you least expect it. I've looked at some of the other offerings and would not recommend them to anyone I liked... I do not think that there's such as thing as a budget priced /durable/ folding mountain bike. |
