Just how?
Either with a mirrored caliper (Strida) - or with a common caliper which is operated against its normal rotation direction (IFMove).


I do not think it would be a good idea to try converting.
Wrong bike. That's NOT a Giant Halfway, so it's not possible on a Giant Halfway.







There are bikes that it's possible on a one sided fork,...the Halfway isn't it.

That's more like a Cannondale "Lefty" fork, as found on the Hooligan MiniVelo,...



This image of the Halfway's non-drive side might help you see it better,...

First post!
I recently did a multi-modal adventure with my Halfway. Some of the comments and threads in here were very helpful (I hadn't used the carrying bag before). Once I get ten posts, I'll show you what I did.

Well, my folding bike is a Giant, and it has Halfway as part of the graphics, but it is a conventionally-framed bike, unlike the true Giant Halfway.
There were a few actual Giant Halfways for sale, but the FD 806 was within walking distance, so that's what I bought.
