The plastic bits still haven't broken, but one small spring holding
the main latch came off. The latch rattled when the bike was folded,
but was not a safety risk. I used a bent paper clip to pull the spring
back in place and secured it with a little glue. Also one bolt fell
out of the luggage rack, which I must get around to replacing. The
hinge for the handlebars is starting to wobble a bit. There doesn't
seem any adjustment on it so if it gets worse I guess I will have to
take it to the shop to fix.

Apart from that the only maintenance I have done is to adjust the
brake cables and oil the chain.


I find I always end up catching the cable housing if I'm
not careful when I un/fold it. I've had a bit replaced once,
and already have a non-serious kink in the new bit. I must
admit I'm usually pretty rushed and careless.

Folding mechanism is all good.
