Silver Chromoly
How do I make my bike last and how long will it last?
I have decided on a Dahon Speed D7 folding bike, I guess it is of a decent quality, but I wonder how much it can handle and what sort of care can help or is neccessary...such as the rain, cold and washing care. Does it pay to get a more expensive model in this regard. Thanks.
So here are some details:
SuperLite 4130 chromoly steel frame
stainless steel latch
6061 aluminum handlebar
BRAKES ProMax V, aluminum
BRAKE LEVER ProMax V, aluminum bracket/aluminum lever
CABLES AND HOUSING SIS, Pearl silver housing, slick cables
FRONT HUB Dahon Special Edition by Formula, aluminum, sealed
REAR HUB: Formula, aluminum, sealed
SPOKES:14 G, stainless steel, brass nipples
RIMS: Aluminum, silver anodized
TIRES: Dahon Roulez, 20" x 1.5", high pressure 65 psi, skinwall
BOTTOM BRACKET: CH, chromoly axle
CRANKSET: Cold-forged 6061 aluminum crank arms, hand-polished

Also, are there any good sprays or oils etc. which could help?
DO NOT use "WD-40" on any bicycle. For chain lube, go to any bike shop, there are several good brands and they can show you the right way to do it.
Don't leave it outside. It'll get rusty and stolen.
Before you ride it, pick it up so both wheels are about an inch off the ground, then drop it. If you hear any "clunck" or any rattles, figure out where it's coming from. They can get un-safe real fast.
Get a basic road kit at a bike shop and even if you have to pay, take a class to learn how to do simple repairs like flat tires and basic tightening and adjustments. Also get a tire pump (use it to actually, completely air up a tire before you buy it... )
It's a good bike, if you don't abuse it, it'll last for decades with just occasional replacement parts and tuneups.
Oh, and wear a helmet every time you ride. Take it from me, cracking your skull on the concrete is no fun.
