Hi,
I've got a Dahon Mu P8 which I bought in spring 2007. The frame broke
5 months later just above the soldering for the tube mount (where the
seatpost slots in). This kind of crack would probably happen if the
seatpost was above its max setting but I am nowhere near the max!
I got my bike back 12 weeks later (!). Now, it's been about 3 months
of cycling on the new frame and I am concerned the frame is going to
break again. I've got the exact same creaking noise happening arount
the same spot on the frame when riding it. It is not showing any
visible signs yet but the noise gets more frequent and at this rate it
won't last another month!
I've seen at least one other person with that problem on a different
(older) model (http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.cycling/
browse_thread/thread/fa7a665c84cbfae0/58498b9a466bf33f?
hl=en&lnk=st&q=dahon+broken+frame#58498b9a466bf33f)
Has anybody experienced anything similar on a Mu P8 or other Dahon
models?
Regards,
