KMC Missing Link for 6 speed folding bike: Does this mean that it is compatible with my 6 speed dahon eco?

If your original chain on your Dahon Eco folding bike is a 1/2" x 3/32", I believe it should work. 6-speeds chains were originally this size.

Yes it is, and will not work. You can use a xt 9 speed derailleur for your intended purpose. Hope this helps.

Janna,I do not know the answer to that question. I use mine with a Trek Madone. I suggest you visit the Blackburn website (blackburndesign.com). You could contact their customer service. Good luck.

Probably. The only potential issue I see is if the old cluster was thinner you might not have enough frame clearance for a wider 6 speed. Also you will probably have to replace the chain at the same time. Especially if the cluster is pretty worn out.

There are several models of this carb. This one happens to work well on a 6.5 tecumseh. Look on your motor for the model no. and other info. Once you know the no. you will be able to locate the type of carb you need. Good luck ,have a problem email me,lcbreeze1@aol.com, Mini bike repairs and More!

i dont think it would. a 6 gear assembly may be narrower than a 7 gear one, this wheel may be too wide for a six speed bike rear fork.

It will, but not as well as you think. A 6 speed freewheel has a larger cog distance from the next one, and a 7 speed freewheel/cassette is much closer. However, there are alternatives you can buy (Shimano Revo Shift 6 speed or SRAM MRX Comp 6 speed) that will match performance well. Also, when you get the indexing and limits correct, give the shift cable a good stretch, then readjust the indexing if necessary. This stretches the cable before leading to future shifting problems. As for the front, it will work perfectly.

I used 8 speed cassette, I did not install 7 speed cassette, I know it will fit, sorry I do not know too much about cassette, I am familiar with cluster for over 40 years.

No, it will not work. Go to a local bike shop to get bike chain, this chain is used for minibikes and agricultural applications.

I am not sure, but suggest you check with a bike shop. Make sure you get the adapter with it if you need one - while I order it with the adapter, it did not come with it and I had to contact the supplier to have them send it.

To my knowledge, the only way that I know of to upgrade to a 6-speed freewheel without serious modifications would be to use a Suntour Ultra-6, which I use on my (now) 12-speed vintage, and have had no problems. A 7-speed would be too large (wide) for this hub as well as too wide for standard vintage dropouts. Hope this helps

Matt, the pitch (length from pin to pin) of all derailleur chains is the same. You want to be sure the width is correct. This KMC chain is specified for 7 and 8 speed clusters and will work with the 8-speed cluster on your Trek.

You can use a Dura Ace chain without issue. A KMC X10Sl chain is another less expensive option / upgrade. It just needs to be a 10 speed chain. You don't need to buy another 12-30 cassette if you want to get something else. For example, an 11-25 would work just fine but you may need to shorten the chain. Park has a chain length calculator here http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/chain-length-sizing that works really well and takes the guess work out of the determination. As far as adjusting the derailleur is concerned, most likely nothing more than a slight barrel adjustment is all that will be needed. Have fun.

I think it would be difficult to explain, in writing, how to fold a folding bike. I suggest doing a YouTube search such as "How to fold a Dahon folding bike." Best wishes -- I like my Dahon Boardwalk folding bike!

Yes, it will fit. You may need to remove a few links from the chain to get the correct length for your bike. This chain has 1/2 inch long links that are 3/32 inch wide, which will work with 6, 7 or 8-speed rear cogs (commonly known as the "cassette" or "freewheel"). All 21-speed bikes have 7 cogs in the rear X 3 chain rings up front making "21 speeds." The other very common chain size is 1/8 inch wide (1/2" x 1/8"), which is too wide for multi-geared bikes.

It should, I used it for MTB single speed conversion. At the time and still might be, it was marked as free return, for the price it's great too. Good luck.

I have a 70s schwinn roadbike as well...If you are referring to the fact that older bikes have a 125 mm rear fork spacing, rather than the newer, wider, forks, then yes, this wheel fit my bike without any adjustments. I have a 6-speed freewheel, it works just fine...I would assume a 5-speed would work too.
