DAHON route 2022

Mar. 26/2023
I bought a mini velo bikes for pottering. It is the entry-level DAHON Route 2022.Then,I transferred the LED light and s cycle computer attached to the road bike to DAHON.Drawing
1.Purchased at Best Sports RAKUTEN store. It was sent in a sturdy package, and the instruction manual and warranty papers were neatly filed. The main body is also assembled neatly, and it is a workmanship that feels like a professional job.
2.As for the cycle computer, there seems to be no place to attach the sensor to the frame of the main unit, so I decided to use the 3/8 inch screw that attaches the side stand.
3.When I was looking for a junk box, I found a good 16mm aluminum pipe, so I decided to use it.
4.An aluminum pipe with a width of 20 mm and a thickness of 2 mm was baked with a burner, wrapped around the aluminum pipe and bent into a hose band.
5.10mm drilling.
6.Cut the aluminum plate to the length according to the drawing.
7.A 10mm hole is drilled in a 20x5t aluminum flat bar. After that, cut it to a length of 26mm, and the spacer is complete.
8.With the spacer at the bottom, attach the band sandwiching the aluminum pipe with a W3/8 CAP screw.
9.It has a 5t aluminum spacer like this.
10.Next is the attachment of the magnet for cadence measurement. First, place the aluminum plate that holds the magnet in the center of the pedal shaft, and mark the hole location with a felt tip pen.
11.Drill 2.5mm pilot holes for M3.
12.Tapping M3.
13.Fixed with M3 screws. The black thing in the center is the magnet.
14.with the sensor installed.
15.Looking from the bottom side, it is installed like this.
16.Attach the magnet for the speedometer to the spoke of the rear wheel.
17.The cycle computer body was attached to the left side of the steering wheel. CATEYE V3n.
18.Next is the relocation of the LED lights. This is made by roasting a PVC board with a burner and making it round.
19.Put the resulting ring on the right side of the handle. This is a spacer for the LED light tight bracket made because the diameter of the road bike handlebar is 1 inch (25.4mm) and the Dahon handlebar is 7/8 inch (22.2mm).
20.If you insert a spacer and tighten it, the fixing band will not pop out, so there is no need to cut the band. Therefore, it is possible to return it to the road bike and install it.
21.Installation of LED lights. The CATEYE HL-EL625RC has a brightness of 600 lumens.
22.This is a cycle computer and light attached to the handle, a bell and a reflector. It looks cluttered.
23.Also installed a mont-bell mont-bell glove compartment under the saddle.
24.Keep a chain lock and puncture repair kit here.
25.Install a bottle holder too.
26.The only downside to the Dahon route is that the sidestand interferes with the crank. It would be perfect if it weren't for this.
I think it's a good bike for short riding. It looks like it will be fun for a while.
