The ride is a bit rougher. The wheel will fall into smaller holes than a 26" wheel. With folding bikes sometimes the makers make compromises with regards to stability so that the wheels come together when folded.ANON125 said:http://www.rvtoyoutlet.com/p-RVXDF2001.html

A year ago, I bought a Cell 20" folding bike. See:ANON125 said:
we chose this bike cos the handlebars fold down - it seemed the smallest when folded.dabac said:Generally a 20 inch bike is quite OK for casual, short distance riding. The thing about this particular bike that sticks out is:
a: the front brake. A brake of that design (stamped out of sheet metal) really doesn't perform very well. The rear appears to be some sort of drum brake, which hopefully does better.
b: the double telescope design on the handlebar stem. Long stems tends to flex significantly, and this might be even more prone because of the double joint. Expect pedalling out of the saddle to feel unstable and avoid descents at speed.
c: the quick-release on the actual folding hinge. To me it would be worth it to spend an extra minute with an ordinary wrench for a more positive lock.
d: Note that the valve stem on the front wheel sticks out at an angle on one of the pics. If your bike arrives looking like that have it corrected before you start riding.
e: I'm not too fond of the rivets attaching the seat stays to the dropouts either.
Don' forget that there's more to using a bike than merely buying one and riding it. At the very least get a pump too, and make sure you know how to check and adjust the tire pressure.
BTW, what made you pick this particular bike? that site had a couple of others in the same price range.
The clicks on the grip shift may be random clicks - ie you twist the grip until the gear changes regardless of the number of clicks.ANON125 said:can i buy the correct gearshift?
