I was sold by the "optional kick stand"...
-
Just got this bike and it is awesome. Suits me as I live in a flat and do not have the space for a normal bike. Gave it a good ol' thrashing an performance was great. Yes it costs more and for the price you good get a much better performance bike but its a pretty good sloution for people with lack of space.
-
I also have found the standard brake configuration on the SwissBike LX to work wonderfully.
-
Yep. On mine, it came with a stack of manuals for the shifters, quick releases, and of course the disk brake. It includes instructions on installing both the front and rear disc brakes. It's a PROMAX DSK-320, same as they're using on some of the Cannondales, and it's a good brake. Mine seemed rather weak until it was broken in.
My first thought was to get a disk for the rear, too, but after riding it around for a while, it's become less and less of a concern.
-
what suspension fork does it come with?
-
Me too. Love it:)
-
the price is too high though i love the bike
-
its a good idea but its still way to big to be that practical
-
I have been researching this full-size folding mountain bike & others for some time now, and i am very interested in the Montague folding bikes, espescially the Paratroper.
My only complaint is that rear disc brakes are not standard. Can they be easily retrofitted to the existing rear wheel by buying & installing an aftermarket disc brake setup?

hey this is cool!
but 1 question,.does the folding thing doesn't affect the chaintensions and the cables aswell?
because i was so concern about the braking systems and the drivetrain. thanks. (Ron Dubai)

Folding has no effect on the brakes or drive train.

Sry.. But just doesnt seem safe at all. Maybe as a means of transportaion but not something that I would want to jump of any sort of a cliff/jump.

Like jumping off a cliff is safe at all... NOT.
Let's be real here, okay. This bike is built for heavy duty and has been proven in use by the military in the field of battle. Ditto for the Abrams main battle tank but that doesn't mean that it's safe to take the Abrams over a cliff. By the way, when US Paratrooper/Special Forces units do a drop with this folding bike, they're not riding it. The bike is folded and strapped tight.
