My teenaged dahon jetstream p8 was reburbed and upgraded to “p16”... and it works very well off road (muddy forest path, green lanes, gravel/stoned road) or in urban environment jumping curbs and going down a few steps. I put a custom 455 h900 hinge pin.
but it s heavy, 14kg.
So as i also have a helios 20” with 7 gears 11-28 and spare bits, i’m going to convert it into a speed pro TT or verges x30h /x18
to run these, I will fit road shifter/brake levers and litepro V brake pulleys.
the unknown is the handle bar, road drop down with the curved handle or TT bullhorn handle / speed pro TT.
so which one? What are the pros and cons?
I would grateful for any feedback especially regarding speed pro TT some of you ride.
I will be lightening the bike as much as possible.
tyres: i ‘m not sure whether refitting a set of marathon big apple or move to kojak (or similar).
this helios is going to be road orientated bike for longer rides, no curb jumping etc.
so please, advise me.
thanks
