How To Change Handlepost For Folding Bike / Bike Part Explain

[@bigtexas7580]

*I just opened up mine like you did and packed the bearing with grease, re-tightend everything back real tight and now the forks are stiff with no play and no more annoying squeaking or creaking. Before my handle bars had play when you push on them or hit the front brakes and the bike squeaked when riding like DeeBo's bike from the movie Friday.Thanks man.*

[@HengChooChian]

Glad it help! remember to service from time to time!

[@laurenoe]

The center bolt - is the preload to the headset - you tighten that first to put a load on the headset bearings. When you have a good tension/load, then you tighten the pinch bolts. Same technique for regular headsets, same for "hollowtech cranks".

[@HengChooChian]

Yeapp. Thanks for comment

[@noreworks]

Thanks for the very well put lesson!

[@samesamebutdifferent563]

Thanks for the great video which is very well produced and edited. My handlepost is similar to the one you demonstrated in the video. It folds to the right side. Can I make it fold to the left side instead?

[@adminplaymaker2601]

If i jst wanna adjust the alignment coz its not straight, do i need to loosen the big ellenkey bolt?

The 2 bolts have a better stiffness.

Hi i want to change my handle post to achieve the up right positioning. In my gust 16 inch can i ask wherw can i find and what are the things that i need to consider too? Thnk u

[@HengChooChian]

Hi, you can try to change your handlebar to m bar instead of straight without changing your handlepost

How do you stop the creaking sounds from the handlepost and handlebar? I have sprayed WD40 at various places but does not seem to work. I think when I brought to the retailer, they did remove the handlepost to apply grease. Could creaking from from the fork? Do I need to remove the fork to grease it before putting it back into the frame?

[@HengChooChian]

WD-40 work as a degreaser instead of lubricant in this case. I will suggest you to open up and use grease instead of WD 40.

[@laubehcar]

hi -Have you ever heard OXEA folding bike, Mine handlepost patah but i dunno which type of handlepost to buy for replacement

[@HengChooChian]

Hmmmmm, havent heard about this brand. Better if you open up to know what type of handlepost require. If it's too complicated, i suggest you to visit your local bike shop yea

[@elpretender1357]

I really like those chocolate and black Schwalbe tires you have in that bike. What model are they?

[@bk-ok2zv]

Hi, there is a spring lever that u need to push to lock the handle bar to upright. It has snapped. There is no spring force. Any idea where to buy or how to replace it?

[@HengChooChian]

You can try to visit your local bike shop or online shopping platform

I want to exchange the handlebars from one bike to the other bike. How do I know if they will fit ?

[@kennethnormanthompson2740]

My folding bike has a quill type connection to the fork. I would like to upgrade my steel handle post to aluminium. Is that possible?

[@anio6865]

Do you know for certain, with folding handlebars, if it matters if the stem on the forks are threaded or not ? Mine is an ebike if that matters...

[@jasonlhy3263]

Support support !

[@teo.junhao]

hello, can I ask how come your fork and chain stay doesn't have the protruding threads used for v brakes? looks so much neater when installed with caliper brakes.

[@HengChooChian]

Hello, my frame is a caliper brake version which only out in market for a short while. It get updated to disk brake after that so there's no V brake mounting point on the fork and also chainstay

Hi bro, possible to use 3d tern post on other bike like dahon? Not sure the steerer tube need to be longer or not.

[@HengChooChian]

It won’t be a plug and play installation as the mounting system is different. It’s possible if you are handy enough to tinkering.

[@Passives-einkommenRocks]

Hi! Thx for the informative Video! I have the Problem with my Dahon Handlepost doing "cracking" sounds. In the end of your Video you mention some better tuning handlepost from fnhon. But I couldn't find anything. Do you have link or sth.? Thx a lot!

[@HengChooChian]

Yes Fnhon does have a 3D construction handlepost, but not widely available. If you can buy from taobao.com, here's the link item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.31.37b32be0WHgspw&id=549455542398&ns=1&abbucket=17#detail Do note that even with that your handlepost might creak. You still need to maintain the joint regularly (I do it monthly) and also not to put up too much load when riding.

[@thehamcan]

Love your vids! One question, my dahon d8 launch handle post folds inwards (in between the wheels when folded), and it always blocks the magnets - is there any way to turn/ adjust the handlepost? Or are they always in the fixed position? Or if i need to buy a new one how do I know if they’re folding left/right?

[@jasonho7769]

Your handle post must me change when buying the new handle post must try it on the bike then you will know if it goes left or right

[@HengChooChian]

Is yo handlepost telescopic version? Might need to lower down/ raise up to have more clearance. To change the fold direction you will have to change the handlepost. Usually the seller will stated in description that fold left or right

[@어마삭77]

I bought a bicycle. crius 9v minivello To disassemble the folding handlepost, I must Loosen screws. Which one first? Side screw first right? And to assemble the handlepost, I must tighten the screw top cap first. Am I right?

[@HengChooChian]

Hi, yes side screw first and then only the top screw

[@어마삭77]

@@HengChooChian to put them together Top screw first and then side screw right?

[@KK-od9ss]

I see people changing to the curve post, what are the benefits beside visual? I realize too that the curve post it's folding outward the right instead of the original stem. How does it affect the fold?

[@HengChooChian]

That curve post will help for people who are taller and need a longer reach.

[@e.bicycles]

Hi. Do you know where can i buy fnhon handle bar and setpost?

[@HengChooChian]

Hi, it should be commonly available online or bike shop as the clamp size are not something special. Handlebar clamp size is 25.4mm and seatpost is 33.9mm

[@e.bicycles]

@@HengChooChianthank you.

[@JarunsHobbyTV]

Nice Bro, ride safe🤜🤛

[@HengChooChian]

You too!

[@steampunkster2023]

A shorter handlebar post is hard for my elbows, they sore even on short trips and this is due to the vibration of the bike on the road. A longer one will give me an opportunity to bend my elbows, so they'll absorb the shock, resulting to a more comfortable ride.

[@haiqal8369]

What type of frame ur using ? Fnhon gust ?

Yeap... that's a fnhon gust

Hello, can share where u buy this brown saddle? I want it for my fnhon blast, also matching brown handle if you have too. Thanks in advance! Great channel

[@HengChooChian]

Hello, thanks for reaching out. That’s B17 from brooks. It’s a leather saddle so require some maintenance compare to usual saddle.

[@HengChooChian]

As for grip, brooks do have some matching leather grip as well

[@nickaela]

Sweet. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@kicksang]

Plan to upgrade curves type, any grease need to apply when change ?

[@HengChooChian]

yeapp, for every bolt you will need to apply grease to make sure cold weld doesnt happen

[@Sinhaimin95]

Do you know how to solve handlepost noise

[@HengChooChian]

Make sure it's tighten but not over and also do apply grease on every threading. This should reduce the chance of creaking. Also you will need to maintain regularly.

[@Mankodong]

May i know is there any specific diameter of the handlebar if i were to change? Was thinking to upgrade to mtb handlebar which comes in 35mm and 31.8mm.

[@HengChooChian]

Usually folding bike handle bar are 25.4 instead of 31.8. You might need to change your handle post to T post and a stem to acoomodate 31.8mm

[@Mankodong]

can change to inner fold? fold in between frame

[@HengChooChian]

Yeapp, just look for the correct size and mounting system will do

[@wongfooksing]

After changing to a longer curve handlepost, I find it a bit wobbly, front and back, is this normal? How to fix this issue? Thanks

[@HengChooChian]

Hmmm it shouldn’t be wobble. Check if the M10 bolt is tight enough and also the clamp is not loosen up. If you can’t find the problem, maybe visit your local bike shop

[@vidvows]

I'm here for the knowledge only but as the steps shown here Heng forgot to remind us that the functions of each bolts to connect the entire handle post to the fork. The small bolt (m5 I think) act as the guide for the m10. The small bolt need to be tighten to guide for the m10 to get the m10 tight enough to hold the handle post. Then, retighten the small bolt to make sure there's no play. Try these steps ya buddy. Maybe Heng could provide us with some proper torque tighten numbers as well.

Mine are right fold. Or some call it out fold.

Sorry bro, but the correct sequence is to loosen the size 6 side nut then loosen the size 10 big nut. When install back, should be tighten the size 10 big nut, then only fully tighten the size 6 side nut.
