You are so passionated about your Brompton. I love it!

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi HUY NGUYEN I love to ride bikes, especially my darling Brompton. Easy to ride , and let me go inside coffee shops and other buildings with no worries of losing my bike. Nice to have you on board!

[@helloitsdawn]

I just ordered the extender and rear rack. What a $$$ saver. Thanks so much for listing the parts.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Great Dawn H They are great buys! The extender is very helpful to carry the Brompton. And this rack is very neat and take a smaller space than the original. Tell me latter if you like it. Keep riding, keep safe

[@leejoycechung2162]

I had the rear rack put on and also the extender....it is so good to roll your bike in the grocery store and ride home. Thanks for the video. I subscribed and watching all your videos.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Joyce Chung It is an extraordinary feeling to be able to enter the supermarket with your Brompton and use it as a shopping cart. Practical and efficient. Excellent upgrades! Keep safe, Keep riding Nice to have you on board

Thank you for the videos, it's very informative and helpful.

You are welcome GLee Glad you like them. Nice to have you on board!

Love the vid, stumbled on your channel accidentally. I also have a Brompton and I love it, ride a 10 mile route almost daily. Just starting to do upgrades myself. ❤️

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Eddie The Brompton is great, especially for commuting. Easy to Ride and no worries to take in the work place. To move it around, I find the easy wheels and the extension verry useful.

[@Grr8jon]

Thanks for putting the links in the description. Great video!

[@alpinab14]

such a happy person loving your vids , im excited im finally picking up my 1st ever brompton on Monday to use everyday at work , its just a brompton hire bike till i can put enough money away to get my own one in the version i want but that aside thats good practice for anyone who is working on there bike to use the original tool kit , that way if you come across any jobs that need additional tools then eventually you will have every tool needed to do almost anything on the bike , a lot of people use tools from there tool box but when there out on the road and something needs fixed its then they realize they are missing a tool they need , anyways just thought id put that tip in there for someone , look forward to your future vids thanks again

[@ChrisbyBike]

Congrats!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The first time you ride a Brompton, you feel the front wheel a little loose. But in acuple of minutes you get use to the feeling. The Brompton is marvelous as a commute bike, very friendly and easy. About the tool kit, it is very complete, it is rare to need any thing else. Tell me later what you think of riding a Brompton to work. If you have any questions, I'm glead to help Have a nice Brompton Ride😊🚴‍♀️

[@alpinab14]

@@ChrisbyBike aww thanks for the replay always appreciated , thats awesome thanks i will remember that about the front steering , i think i would buy the h6l in the black edition in black laquire , im not tall but i think the S version would be too sporty for me and the M and the H which use the M bars im not super keen on the way they look i would probably buy the H having the longer stem and slightly higher hinge then put some mtb riser bars on there but cut the length down a bit making the bike look nicer while having a similar handle bar height to the standard M version while having slightly wider bars means the front wont be quite as fast and sensitive steering making it a bit more stable , thats the theory anyway lol , but thanks again and i will pick the bike up this monday and use it all week so i will defiantly let you know how i got on , thanks and enjoy the rest of your night from the UK

[@ChrisbyBike]

@@alpinab14 Black in black edition will look very cool! A lots of people change the handlebars. I got use to it, and gives it a charm. But I'll love to have road handle bars in my Brompton. Keep me posted 😊

As if Bromptons weren’t expensive enough, there are just so many ‘essential’ accessories you need for your bike...........now where’s my credit card 😊

[@ChrisbyBike]

Ho Nor 08 You are right, Bromptons are especial bikes that if you take good care, they last more them 20 years. It is a great investment, and if you use it for commute it can save you a lots of money and time. If you use it everyday, the upgrades will give you more comfort, but Brompton's originals are great.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi It arrived and looked very cool. Nice to have you on board!

[@wlimfy]

Hi thanks for all your joyful upgrades. I’m particularly keen with hand grip upgrade. Does it fit perfectly without modifying the length? The upward grip can it be rotated or it is locked in position?

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi William Lim I didn't have to modify the grip's length, but hat to move in the brakes and levers. And it still just a bit out of the handlebars. But it is verry steady and firm. On this model of ergon grip G2 the upward is fix to the grip. They move together. Nice to have you on board!

New subscriber from the Philippines. I don’t have a Brompton bike yet but I’m dying to have one. Joining your vlogs feels like I’m close to having one. As the say, law of attraction.😊

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Marv M you are Very Welcome! Bromptons are unique bicycles , easy to get around, and get access to many places. It is a very smart bike, when folded the chain and all the delicate parts are protected by the wheels, which prevents getting dirty or damage the gears. Do you already have an idea of ​​the color you will choose?

[@averagemarv]

@@ChrisbyBike I’m not sure yet what model though. They all all look the same lol but any color would do and besides I will still save money for that. For now, I’m attracting it by watching vlogs and reviews. I hope someday🙏🏼☝🏻🚴🏻‍♂️ Stay safe always!

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Memo Seven I'm glad you like it! 1. The new Brompton P and T lines have there own suspension block. It is especial for the new triangle. This suspension block is beautiful, but it broke after using for couple of moths. There is a video about it in my channel. 2. The kick stand is fantastic, I have it for years and at the time I've bought at Amazon. com. They don't carry it anymore, but on the video description I've place a link for a similar Kickstand.

Chris, I have a question for you - why haven't you decided to get mudguards? Do you think it would be easy to install one with your back rack? I am trying to get a mudguard and a rack here in UK and am having a bit of a difficulty deciding on what to buy and where from :)

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Ioana I don't use my Brompton for comute, so I get to chose the days I'm riding. When I'm bike touring, and have no option and have to ride in the rain, I do carry a rain gear. Mudguards are havy and only protects from water coming from the floor. But If I've use my Brompton only in my hometown for commute, I'll have mudguards and a dinamo for lights Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

should put some blue Loctite on the bolts so they don't come loose but can be removed easy.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Why the small wheels in front? I changed mine as the very first thing and bought some more flashy ones with a larger size. And a new lightweight type holder for my S-bag and other items. I have bought a titanium rack in two sizes, but also a "double wheel-set" below it, as I will only put a rack on the bike, if actually needed (My bike came with the original, black mudguards, and the small, useless original wheels). And I have also bought a special "Eerder", Dutch manufactored piece of bracket to prevent the mudgaurd being squized during handling.

(How nice to have had the chance to get to know Brazil. That is a beautiful country. Italy has fantastic places and incredible cities. I love cycling in Italy, I did the Granfondo in Rome, starting at the Coliseum and arriving at Circus Maccimus. Italy has a great respect for cyclists, very cool.)

@@ChrisbyBike ah! Falando mesmo da Brompton, achei no aliexpress.it os pedaços do quadro desta bicicleta en titanio por um preço muito bom, e todos os accesorio. Estive pensando de montarla pouco a pouco, com rodas de 20 pulgadas. Acha vai sair bem? Obrigados

[@ChrisbyBike]

Não sei se é possível. De 16 para 20 é muita diferença, talvez atrapalhe na hora de dobrar (I don't know if it's possible. From 16 to 20 is a big difference, maybe it will get in the way of folding it)

... Everyone recommends to upgrade the easy wheels...😢😂

[@ChrisbyBike]

Yes, it makes pushing the Brompton much easier, and steady. Nice to have you on board!

Love all these brompton upgraders. Obviously the wobbly bike wasn't up to it in the first place. More money than sense...

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Cosgrove Notts Brompton has great upgrades. What bike do you use besides your Peugeot?

[@JP-qn4uo]

Good video, but the music is horrid! Too loud, inane and unnecessary! 👎

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi JP I'm glad you like it! I'm a photographer, and I have a hard time to find songs for the videos. Sorry about that! Nice to have you on board!
