You might need to order new hinge parts, thorusa.com can help you with that stuff. Not sure you'll find the parts on the site, but an email to him will set you up. At the very least, the email may help you understand the problem, Thor is great for Dahon info. -- You received this message

Och! Aye, Erl. I’ve wondered the same thing. Two temp/condition ranges are likely especially challenging, coencidentally the same two conditions that are challeging for clothing: wet and near freezing and below zero F. I doubt boiled wool and chain tools play well together. Grin. -- You

It is. It’s super useful. I mainly use it as a bag support but I got those problem solvers anchors and it makes it easy to strap light stuff to the legs as well. Really fills the gap between bag support and full touring rack really well. I’d like to get another one when they start producing

Hi Patrick, Thinking out loud here: Is there a problem with chain stretch on your drive train? Perhaps most of your riding is 34T and chain+drive train wears down a bit. You then encounter situation when you need 24T and install (new) 10T chain. Most of your chain is partially worn and you

Och, Erl! It is a head scratcher, aye? The plan is to use WolfTooth’s RapidLink chaintool to add/remove the needed chain trailside. So, with the default Silver triple of 24/34/44t, I’d have the base length of chain for the 24t ring, add 10t of chain for the 34t ring, add 10t more for the 44t
