Brompton Platform Pedals - not just for G Line

[@TheYohtube]

I have big feet so I like BIG PEDALS! ❤

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! They are kind of nice pedals!

[@TheYohtube]

@brilliantbikes I normally ride Catalyst Pedals from the USA, don't think they will fit a G line...

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

When I bought my Danish "Flame Painted" Superlight in 2019, a Black Version, it came with a folding pedal and I have a similar Titanium Bolt intended for the pedal also, as my bike, what is left of it, now weighs below 9 kilos, and still with my mudguards, as a "Rainy Dane"! I haven't been able to change the bolt, but I will eventually when I get the Time. The original bolt is hard to get loose, so that is why! But I have never liked "loose pedals", to be lost during transport if unlucky, and standing somewhere with a folded bike, minus a pedal, is at best Interesting😄! Finn. Denmark

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for watching! So far I’ve not managed to loose one

[@noeliepollie1973]

I bought my G line pedals from brilliant bikes and I'm very happy. The extra size makes a difference.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for choosing to order from us and thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!

@brilliantbikes Your videos are always fab and my pleasure to shop at brilliant bikes ❤️

Hi Hannah, the clip-on pedals has notches at the end of the mount, when you slide it in and it doesn't go in first time, slightly rotate the mounted part and it will slide in...these pedals do not need to be forced in, also the mount and holder of the clip-on do not need greasing either, in my humble opinion, hope this comment make sense :)

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! Yes the axle is easy to rotate. The hey do need to be greased, we learnt this the harder way having a pedal stuck in, it even says in the pedal instructions they should be greased

[@davidburgess5419]

On a parallel matter, I believe that 70mm and 80mm easy wheels are available for the G-line as opposed the 60mm for the P/T line. Hannah, I'd love to hear your thoughts on any benefits of retro fitting them to the earlier lines. Thank you, and a very Merry Christmas to your family as well as everyone at Brilliant Bikes 🙂 🙂

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks David for watching and the Christmas wishes, all the best to you too! The G line roller wheels will fit on the C/ P, you need to use the bolts on the respective bikes, what have not tested is if you get more heal strike.

[@davidburgess5419]

@@brilliantbikes May I also ask whether you think that they would work on an electric version, i.e.still offer a stable platform with a rack ?

[@cmdctrl]

Great vid. What we need is Brompton to do a spd/flat version like the PD-T8000 XT Mountain Bike SPD Trekking Pedals. (Or could you swap the spindles?)

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! I’m trying hard to source a SPD removable pedal, let’s see!

[@rdnax92]

5:19 😂😂 find it recently also impossible to insert the pedal, from the wrong (riding) side of the bike... One lacks the muscle memory and that little bit of additional strength (push vs pull) there...

[@brilliantbikes]

I tried too many times, got it straight in the first time, then messed up! Thanks for watching

[@davidpowell5437]

I do like the cleverness of the original pedals, but...Mmm Matching pedals - Oh Man 😃 Some serious pedal shopping lies ahead!

[@andrewstehlik3917]

Well, those must be really enormous pedals if they measure “one hundred centimeters by about one hundred five” those would be pedals from a steamboat! 🚢 Very likely she meant milliliters - but spoke all the time about centimeters.

[@brilliantbikes]

I know I messed up! Yes mm! Thanks for watching!

[@Zen_Not_Zen]

What happened at 4:32 ? 😀

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! Me messing up again…..

[@chrispig7748]

Thanks for a lovely video, was that a mythical Chapt 3 in the video?

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! Yes the unicorn bike! We kept one

[@chrispig7748]

@ is it available? Thanks

[@MiataBRG]

Where do you store the wet grimey pedal after locking the bike up?

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! Just pop it in the back of the mudguard 😀

[@richard_wait]

Matchy matchy. 100%

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! Yes it makes me feel happier!

[@lizziel4876]

I am going to order some, but what I'd like to know, from someone who's already got some, is how grippy are they?

[@brilliantbikes]

They are relatively good, not as grippy as my Stamp MTB pedals but more grippy than the standard pedals Thanks for watching!

[@lizziel4876]

I'd also like to add that the measurement of the folding pedal isn't really 90 but more like 80, as your foot doesn't go up to where you are measuring from, i.e. on that cylindrical bit. Otherwise a great video, which I've been waiting for!

[@lizziel4876]

@@brilliantbikes thank you! That is helpful! If they are more grippy than the standard pedals then they must be reasonably grippy as I found the standard ones more or less OK, whereas I had expected not to like them when I got the bike. My main reason for changing them is size.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching!!

[@dsc5727]

Many thanks always for great quality info. Is G line pedals made of plastic or metal?

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching! Yes I’d say resin / plastic

[@oxfordsculler8013]

G line pedals are nice and big, less likely to slip off when applying power. But, pedals in real world commuting in London are in the dirty, dog poo and wet zone from road and shoes. Not something you want to be man handling on your commute to or from work. The flip requires the minimal of touches in comparison.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching! Yuk! We also dislike dog walkers who don’t clear it up!

[@petshark1]

100 cm is a meter!!! You meant 100 mm or 10 cm. Oh you Brits. 😂

I know I’m an idiot sometimes! Sorry! Thanks for watching!

[@peterwillson1355]

Brompton standard pedals are horrible and " cheap but not cheap". I swapped mine with some QUALITY MKS ezy superior pedals.

[@brilliantbikes]

The hanks for watching!

[@terryc8164]

I've seen this sort of comment before but I've used the standard pedals for.years covering quite a few thousand.miles.with no trouble at all. So cheap? Not in my experience. My only gripe is they don't take standard toeclips and riding without them is a real pain as my feet can slide around on the pedals. I've sorted that though and made adapter plates so I can fit them.
