This seat post problem, in all Brompton models, is ridiculous! I apologize for the directness, but it is! I have two C lines, and to sintetize things, I’m o a point of having to buy a reamer (!) in order to be able to change the plastic sleeve in a easier way than having to relay on technicians that actually do not know about the issue. The last one, on Brompton shop, he turned the nut way more than the recommended (as regular bikes it is ok) and distorted the frame!! This is a Brompton mechanic (supposedly)! So My only alternative is to buy a reamer and replace my self! At the moment I’m looking for a used reamer, and the specs for the insert to help gluing the sleeve!!!

Is it possible to put the sprockets on the wrong way round? I’ve had a new wheel built including sprockets and one gear is skipping the chain after a gear change? Its a new chain of with correct amount of links… Wondering if the cause could be a backward sprocket? Its a two speed. thanks

Is there a reason the Pentaclip needs this many parts? Most saddle interfaces seem to have only 3-5 parts, and have less of a tendency to explode when swapping saddles. Good, clear video nonetheless, thanks a bunch

Last year I took my Superlight Brompton to Japan (3 mo), Thailand (3 mo), Cambodia (1 mo) and back to Japan (3 more mo). I carried a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, my phone, camera & charging gear. The bushings on my rear hinge got worn & I had to replace them. I'm thinking of getting another bicycle for traveling & the fragility of the Brompton's rear hinge (all that stress on it) dissuades me from buying another Brompton.

You still have rim brakes, cheap bushings. Chinese analogues on disc brakes and industrial bearings cost two times less, or even three times. With this approach to production, Brompton simply has no future.

rim brakes are great, simple, light and require hardly any adjustments. I don't want to go back to constantly messing around with discs. Only thing Brompton need to sort out is the gearing. Stop this heavy, complicated, bodged half derailleur half hub setup and give us a proper simple 6 to 12 speed hubs. Sadly they are going in the opposite direction and going full derailleur...people don't want yet another thing to mess around with and adjust. Give us proper hubs.
@Ricky-dq7cm9 күн бұрын
As a new brommie owner only the gearing mechanism is complicated but I'll manage. But for the rest Brompton is a way of freedom. Never missing a train, leaving home later cause you'll make it anyways and always transportation wherever you go @@gibbson130

Continentals for me. Difference on gravel is imperceptible to me vs marathon, and not noticed any increased tendency to puncture (on the experience of just two bikes, perhaps less with continental). We have two electrics, one with marathon and one with continental, and i prefer the ride of the continental in most riding. Did a 27 mile loop of Kielder water recently (all gravel, with occasional roots and sand) and both performed fine with no punctures. very occasional front wheel spin on both on steep sections but nothing to worry about.

If you already need to cooperate with the deutsche Bahn, you should at least integrate a folding chair seat into the brompton to make unexpected waiting for the train less of an incumbrance.

I test rode the P line 12 speed and opted for it. But only because of the lower gears, I cannot see myself ever needing the top 3 gears in the third hub gear, way too long. Maybe it would be better to create a 6 speed but reaching the lowest gear range of the 12 speed.
