  1. Got some upgrades for my #Csepel #foldingBike. :neofox_uwu:
    It rides sooo much better with the new wheels and the Shimano hub shifter, and it has brakes to match its increased speed.
    Only downside is that the new handlebars can't be folded, but at least they also don't collapse mid-ride like the old ones.

  6. Welp, I'm officially giving up on the #Csepel Csillag as a #foldingBike. The handlebar is just impossible to secure properly, it moves even if I just go off a ledge at a low speed. There is no way to fix it without making it harder to fold, at which point I might as well just get another bike. So that's what I'm doing, hopefully tomorrow. If all goes well I will immediately take it on a train ride. :neofox_uwu:
    (I'll still fix the Csepel so my family can use it.)

  10. Here is a video of my #foldingBike being folded up. I'm starting to notice the flaws with the handlebar design. Still, if you are not in a hurry, these #Csepel #bike s are a nice low cost solution to #multiModal travel. (At least in #Hungary, where they are abundant on the second hand market.)
    I will be getting new front and rear brakes for it though, because I almost got run over because I couldn't stop in time, that 2-3 meters makes a big difference.
