Hey - was my first jumble today and it was a real pleasure - sold a few choice things and now have some spending money for winter projects. Nice to meet those of you I did.[hi Skully!]
Hope to come next time as buyer not seller next time... Huw -
They aren't wrong when you chuck it on a plane with no excess baggage cost and then get to skootch around manhattan when on your holidays. This is what I've learnt anyway. A lot better than an MTB hirebike :)

@eeehhhh
It is something to ponder. It shouldn't work!

@edmundane; eeehhhh...
I know the tensioner thing shouldn't really work! If you want one to fold you have to have one as it gains about 3-4 inches of length when you collapse the rear. The reason it actually does work is because I've managed to shorten the chain by four links which makes it so short it basically can't come off as long as the rear doesn't collapse in use, (so the tensioner is not taking up any tangible slack) and secondly because there's a wee clip that holds the hinging back to the back of the seatpost that stops unwanted slack 'happening' when it's travelling over bumps. It's pretty solid - I can brake with my legs as normal and even pull the odd wee skid... :)

Hi I just found this thread and wanted to add this to the mix;
I ride folding bikes (just finished a brompton fixie - possibly a first?) and happen to know that the high end folding bike, the Airnimal, uses 520 wheels and that you can get a reasonable selection of tyres for it (or any other 520 wheeled beast from this shop should anyone feel the need to splash out...
I've dealt with them before and they're a really nice shop.http://www.foldingbikes.co.uk/airnimal_tyres.htm
Vic - love your cream Raleigh! I have a Raleigh Twenty Shopper fixie that's a bit of a step from it's Granny-transporting past.
