Dahon Glo SUV D6 Upgrade tips
Hello fellow Dahoners!
I’m pretty new to folding bikes and recently scored a good deal on a slightly used Dahon Glo SUV D6. I’ve been doing a bit of reading and browsing around, but I still feel like I’ve got a lot to learn 😅
Just wanted to ask what upgrades you’ve personally done on your bikes, and where you usually buy parts? I’ve noticed a lot of people using Litepro components (are those worth looking into for a beginner?) Been seeing these upgrades a lot!
I’m also curious about drivetrain upgrades. I’ve seen some setups using Shimano Deore or Cues: Would those be good options for a folding bike like mine? My stock drivetrain isn’t performing that well in my area (lots of uphill), so I’m thinking about possible upgrades.
Also, is a 2x (2-by) drivetrain even practical on folding bikes? I mostly see 1x setups in the community, so I’m not sure what’s realistic. I wanted to have a 2x system but I’m not sure if that would fit our foldies.
For context, I live in a hilly area but mainly ride on roads. I’m planning to use the bike for commuting and a bit of fitness as well.
Would really appreciate any tips, suggestions, or beginner-friendly advice. Thanks in advance! 🙏
