<p><em>I believe</em> the hubs for this bike are <span>proprietary, Dahon being only supplier.</span></p>
<p><span>Variying qualities of wheelsets are available from Dahon directly.</span></p>
<p><span>The MU frameset may only take Dahon's derailleur. It's not too spendy if that is the case.</span></p>
<p><span>The headset is going to be the biggest challenge in re-building the bike.</span></p>
<p><span>All the appointments are available from Dahon though.</span></p>

DUG - I don't think you need to run a proprietary derailleur on this frame. Dahon does outfit a lot of their bikes with their own neos derailleurs, but I have another Dahon that I run a regular old off-the-shelf SRAM derailleur on with no issues. Also, Self-sealing Stembolt above was talking about possibly building the frame with an IGH and chain tensioner, which would also be a good solution.<br></br>

Headset and folding handlepost would need to be proprietary Dahon Fusion products, but they can be readily sourced from thorusa.com. I've used thor several times in the past for dahon proprietary stuff, he's super nice and helpful, he's always been able to source what I need, and his prices are fair.

<p>Dug - we have one so I'm curious, what makes them different? We have the SS Boardwalk model so that solves some things, but whats with the headset? Just thinking ahead. Thanks.</p>

<p>I am not positive, but there is a very good chance that bike needs to have a Dahon specific rear derailleur. It also requires a Dahon specific headset and folding stem that is not going to be super easy to get.</p>

<p>the drop-outs themselves don't seem unusually meaty or thick to me, pretty standard looking, but i can measure 'em over the weekend and get back to you.</p>
<p></p>
<p>yes, derailleur hanger is replaceable type.</p>
<p></p>
<p>yes, standard ISO 68mm BB shell.</p>
