Not advised as the Tern handlepost is stiffer than the Dahon/Fnhon design. There are inward and outward folding types of handlepost.<br /><br />The safety pin is not an integral part of the handlepost. Even without the safety pin, it should not fold by itself. The handlepost lever should be tight, that should be enough. I suspect that the handlepost lever was not tight, that is why the safety pin ended up bearing the load (which it was never designed to). Get the handlepost checked at the bike shop.<br /><br />Once again, it is not the design of the handlepost that is at fault, it is the adjustment that needs to be done.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-86340265575967924902014-05-10T00:16:38.829+08:002014-05-10T00:16:38.829+08:00Where can I buy this handle post & what's ...Where can I buy this handle post & what's the approx price?

Although they will close nicely, the rubber is soft and will deform when under load. This will cause play in the handlepost.<br /><br />The creaking can also be caused by the top half of the handlepost, with the height adjustment. It can also be caused by the compression bolt at the bottom. I would suggest loosening all the bolts, lifting out the handlepost, regreasing the threads and reinstalling it.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-29415767834324653342013-10-09T23:59:42.559+08:002013-10-09T23:59:42.559+08:00Hi Tylsteve,

I had the great idea to put a thinner rubber on the joint press.<br /><br />Now, I am feeling some movements in my handlepost pivot point (please see your 6th photo).<br />Could it be normal? I dont remember that, because after the rubber, I feel totally silence in my bike.<br /><br /><br />Regards<br />NicolásAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714790291287886173noreply@blogger.com
