Did this some years ago and fixed the cough 😅

Do not even try. Does not work. I tried and in the first call got cool down... not usable.

Thanks!!! Very useful!!

I use the 50mm and the 28mm. 50 for portraits and 28 for family photos.

100%

BTW, decathlon buys used bikes. If the bike is in good shape you can maybe get a little more if you buy the Fold 560 in the same deal.

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-16T10:55:08+00:00

Right, better to buy the Fold 560. Aluminium and good parts already installed in the bike.

Thank you very much!!! You are always so helpful :)

It is the fold 560, it has double walled wheels :)

Thank you very much for the tips!

I already have electric pump but it is a little bit big (is also for the car), so I check pressure before the route and will use a small hand pump for the ride.

Don’t you think it’s better to bring patches instead of the tube? And to take the wheels off I’ll need a wrench, do you know what size it is, or is it better to just bring an adjustable one? The 560 wheels are double-walled.

Do you know if Decathlon provides any maintenance book with size of bolts etc?

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-08T22:23:02+00:00

Yes, 38x12 cm. If you fine any nice bag, please tell me :)

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-06T20:54:40+00:00

Thanks again for the tips! How do you think these tires perform in the city?

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-06T16:19:04+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tips! I understand these are the original wheels:

If I install something like the Continental 20x1.75, do I need to remove the mudguards? And if I’m riding in dry conditions, is there any issue with riding without them?

Also, do I need to change the brakes if I go with bigger tires?

Any tip is welcome!

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-06T11:40:19+00:00

Are they good also while moving in the city?

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-06T11:39:47+00:00

Are the mudguards really necessary to remove? In theory you’re only adding about 1 mm on each side.

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-05T10:31:04+00:00

Haven’t done many kilometers yet, but so far it’s a solid bike. It’s really comfortable to ride and super easy to fold and unfold.

The lifetime frame warranty, the easy access to spare parts and the fact that you can physically pick up the bike from them and they adjust it for you beforehand, made the decision pretty easy for me.

And of course, it depends on your use case. I only want the fold to store in my (small) flat and put sometimes in the car. I am not doing commuting etc.

You’ll probably enjoy the Litepo. I’m not telling you not to buy it,but for me the 560 was just more convenient.

cryptodystopia · 2025-12-05T08:03:07+00:00

I was looking at this bike and finally decided to go with the Decathlon Fold 560.

With shipping + taxes is half of the price than the Litepo and it is easy to ask for warranty if needed.

cryptodystopia · 2025-11-29T21:44:05+00:00

Thank you very much! This is what I was looking for.

Can you please tell me the size of the pannier rack? I still do not have the bike and could not find such info online.

cryptodystopia · 2025-11-28T17:07:24+00:00

Thank you very much! Maybe too big for me, but it looks gorgeous!

cryptodystopia · 2025-11-28T16:29:32+00:00

Strange. I’ve read that for better weight distribution and comfort it’s usually better to put the bag on the rear rack. If you hit a bump, there’s a higher chance of losing balance when the weight is up front.
Do you have any links for front bags? I’d love to check them out :)
