For the automatic Brompton folding watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6jMlGaQiqh6aqc

[@bencheung1482]

Problem solved! My apartment is on the first floor of a building with no lift. I really like your way of putting the saddle on the shoulder. Awesome!! Thank you

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Benchung I'm glad you like it! Nice to have you on board!

[@BromptonROK]

I thought I knew all the ways to push/pull/carry my Brompton and that I'd watch this thru anyway just because I love Chris and her videos ❤️... but I DID learn a new one -- the shoulder carry! I'm constantly up & down escalators on the subway here so that should prove very helpful. Thx again as always Chris^^

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Paul Hagerty I'm glad you watched through the end. The Seadle tip I use for all my bikes, the good thing about it is that the weight of the bike is in your shoulders and not in your arms. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻 Nice to have you on board!

[@RobBastien]

Great stuff. I particular liked the "Over the shoulder" for the escalators. Thanks.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Rob Bastien This is my favorite too. Nice to have you on board!

[@ArswieWaende]

Thank you for your detailed summary and the "real life examples", it helps a lot. I always feel like beeing invited to a walk with a friend, not just beeing informed. And your positive attitude always leaves me in a good mood with a smile. Thank you even more for this 😁🙋‍♂️

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Arswie Wände Love your comment. I really enjoy making the videos and sharing thing I've learn and places I ride. Glad you like it. Nice to Have you on board

[@lizziel4876]

Trouble with the pedal-up-and-push is that I naturally push with my bike on my left! Good hint about having the saddle pointed slightly to the side. Oddly I would push it like you do with it on my right in that situation. I watched your other video about the easy wheels, and that one was partly instrumental in me ordering some - can't wait to get them!

[@FalkinerTim]

Yes. Carrying the bike with the saddle on your shoulder is really good.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Tim Falkiner It makes ups and downstairs much easier. Nice to have you on board!

[@blueyonder1233]

You're getting very good at talking to camera, this one of your best. As always, stunning scenery & helpful tips. 👍

Hi Blue Yonder It is interesting, with time the camera became our friend. I'm trying to explain better and speak clearly because we have Brompton Lovers from all over the world, and the goal is to pass on the things I learn. 😊👍🏻 It is always very Nice to have you on board!

[@aavanderw]

If you really love your Brompton you cannot stand a seatpost like that.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Aavanderwn You are completely right 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Don't worry, my new Titanium seatpost arived last week, and I'm producing a video about How to replace your seatpost. It will be lounch next Saturday. It is Fantastic, 😊😊😊😊 Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

I have only have 2 big rollerblade wheels...so with my Brompton bag, I pull it when I shop in the supermarket

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Vincentnnyc The blade wheels are great, very soft and easy to roll. Nice to have you on board!

[@playandteach]

Which wheel extender make do you use? I've heard that some are very expensive, and some are very poorly made.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

And I have got covers over the wheels, one with a double set of wheels.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen I did not understand how it works🤔

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@ChrisbyBike "Wheelguards" is the name for it, sorry! And I have just changed my (too) small, original single wheel with a double golden wheel, and I found out that the metal parts holding the titanium struts, and the wheel, actually weighed a lot, so I ordered a set of carbon parts for the purpose, from China, with the nuts inside! It is a Hell to replace the bolts and nuts, and most time you will need to remove the wheels, to do it.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen Some times Aluminium is lighter them Titanium, and it is a lot stronger them carbon. For this reason I've chosen the Aluminium rack instead the Titaniun. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

Oi Fabiano Slack Tem uma mochila propria para carregar a Brompton nas costas. Você encontra na Amazon. Nice to have you on board!

[@sendtodenise5778]

Chris, i feel my gear shift is acting up. When i shift to gear 2, it feels like i am riding on gear 1. But sometimes it feels ok. What i do is to shift to hear 1, then 2 and then 3rd. Back to my usual 2. And it feels right. Can you do a video to show how we can adjust or fine tune the gear shift so shiftng gear is smoother and more correct. Thanks in advance. From Denise

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Denise I have a video that show how you should adjust your Hub Gear ajustkzbin.info/www/bejne/aIjEaGmro611jJI See if it help. If not, tell me and, next time I'll have my Brompton clean, I'll do one just with the geae ajustment. Nice to have you on board!

[@bergolli1]

Good video again Chris What kind of saddle do you use on your Brompton? Looks like a Brooks B17 but not made out of leather. Maybe that Cambium version out of natural rubber? Saudacoes cordiais

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Bergolli1 I use the C17 carve. It is fabulous, My favorite one. If it was lighter I would use it on my racing bike. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

[@bergolli1]

How do I carry my Brompton?......easy let hubby carry it for me!!! Stay Safe! xx

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That is THE best answer 😊👍🏻😊👍🏻 Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

[@gregjohnson720]

Querida Chris “Easy Wheels” eXtinction or eXtension. Did you eliminate them or extend them? Gotcha baby!

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Greg Hahahahaha, that one is terrible, but it was in the automatic correction. I always do a conference. But it must have passed without realizing it sorry. And the worst thing is that I can't fix it because I'm in the middle of the video. Thanks for telling me.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ericbouv4070]

Don't get how you carry it by the saddle. It doesn't open?

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

I have bought a padded pouch to cover my folded pedal.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen Great to protect the pedal 👍🏻😊

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@ChrisbyBike You avoid scratching things around - putting it in a car, that way! The padded pouch, I think I bought it from Thailand, was very/extremely expensive but it may last my time, as now 73 😉? It is made specially for Brompton and other folding pedals, as it is possible to put round the pedal-arm also, but Bromton folds very efficient that way. I don't know with ordinary folding systems?

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen You are right, it is time to do the things that please the heart. And nice upgrades are fabulous 👍🏻😊🚴‍♀️

[@natcl]

Is the Q-Rack suitable for carrying things or only serve to hold the wheels ? If so what kind of luggage can go there ?

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Nathanaël Lécaudé I've never use the rack to carry anything. When I travel, Brompton touring , I use a T-Bag + a seadle bag. I like to have the possibility of folding the Brompton when fully loaded. Check the videos of my last trip to Germany. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

[@benwhite3227]

The design looks like it would be able to handle carrying weight with no problem. The Amazon link in the video description says that it’s for carrying heavy loads, but I don’t see a weight limit.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Ben White It is able to carry objects, but because its triangular shape it is not possible to attach a rack bag. I like it because it is lighter and helps a lot on pushing/pulling the Brompton. Nice to have you on board!

[@richardtheli992]

Hi Chris.. How about mine S6L? It make noise when rolling, front wheel spoke hit the chain tensioner, how to fix it?

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Richard From your description I can't understand what's happening. But check the H Hook, see if is bend and making the wheel closer than it should be. Nice to have you on board!

[@richardtheli992]

@@ChrisbyBike Hi Chris... Thank you for reply.. I want to show you this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioqoZGZ-arydpNU, The problem that appears in my Brompton is exactly like in the video, the solution given in my opinion doesn't make sense, Hahahaha... But I tried to follow it and it didn't work. So what do you think?

[@ChrisbyBike]

Ok. Got it The reason it makes noise is because your front wheel is touching the ground. Replace the original easy whells for bigger ones. This way your front wheel won't touch the ground and it will not move. My main reason for using a triangle rack is to make it easy to push or pull my Brompton. With the rack the Brompton is on top of 4 EasyWheels and very easy to transpor it. Hope to be of some help 👍🏻😊

[@richardtheli992]

@@ChrisbyBike Hi Chris... Thank you for great solution.. I think use triangle rack more easy for push or pull.. Joyfully Chris...

A sixth way is the push-pull with the T-bag on, as you show on a previous vidéo (Brompton as a shopping cart kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rTeXSBesh1eKc -4:10).

Hi Philippe Greetings to Hong Kong Nice to have you on board!

[@gregjohnson720]

Chris,Now I see why you want to replace your seat post. Yours looks abit nasty. Sometimes the rusty bits can be removed. Whatever you do, NEVER try to lubricate it with ANY product. If you do, you will never get the tube from sliding down when you ride. Please send me the info on the easy wheels and rack that you installed.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Greg My new Titanium seatpost arrived 😊🌟😊🌟😊🌟 And I'm doing a video on how to install it. About the links, I've wrote them 8n the description of the video. The EasyWheel, rack and the extension make a great set and much easier to move your Brompton around. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
