It doesn't take much to keep them from hitting.

I would Imagine the larger skate wheels would make this worse. Have you had problems with your heel hitting the wheels while you pedal with the standard rollers?

I did similar one on my M6L (i.e. w/o rear rack, as my C-Bag in front suffices my two-day travels). Instead of 76mm inline skate wheels, I use 80mm. Same 80A durometer. Use 608 bearings but I chose ABEC 3 instead of ABEC 5 and higher so that they are smooth but not too much. I tailer made bronze sleeve for M6 (40mm long) wheel axle. Very smooth when push and pull. However, the problem is my left handle touching on the group when completely folded and seem the bike fall on one side. Does anyone come across the same situation? Do you think a longer M6 that helps? Outstanding. I did similar one on my M6L (i.e. w/o rear rack, as my C-Bag in front suffices my two-day travels). Instead of 76mm inline skate wheels, I use 80mm.

Put a nut on the thread before you cut if you want to be super sure that the thread will be OK but I've never found this to be necessary. Biggles Excellent article thanks very much!

I thought the bike looked kinda cool on their website but add me for scale and it may look silly but not as silly as my unicycle. That thing requires humility, not that it's hard to ride but you feel like a circus clown and can be the subject of ridicule. Bike friday still hasn't responded to my emails... weak. I'll be posting photos when I get the bike with all my upgrades so others can drool just like I did when researching bikes. I'll also be posting my impressions of Bike Friday service as I think it deserves attention. I purchased a NWT with drop bars.

In my experience, I don't think anything you could wear would make you look dorkier than the bike itself. It's okay though, I like it that way. :-) What bike did you get?
