[T-LINE UPGRADES] TI PARTS WORKSHOP PEDALS Brompton Folding Bike

[@washingtonseixas3632]

Very, very very good video. Congratulations my friend: Fr Brazil

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

Thanks. They feel great so far.

[@washingtonseixas3632]

Good morning, afternoom or evening. I'm 69 years old, retired captain airline. I love your channel. I have a brompton too. God bless you, your family and this channel my friend!

So interesting that they didn’t tighten the pedals - seems very un-Brompton-like, considering they’re usually very good at attention to detail. I guess it’s just what happens when you get one of the first ones off the factory floor when they’re still figuring out manufacturing processes. FWIW, my T-Line, which was a second run, also had a pedal issue in that the magnetic component in the crank arm wasn’t locking in the pedal. Brompton Junction NY swapped it out immediately when I noticed at pick-up, but another pedal issue nonetheless.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

It's always a good idea to check a new bike. I have had stripped screws on my older bromptons. I guess it will depend on the technician that puts it together.

[@edwardaquino1325]

I watched somewhere that you really have to tighten the pedals off the box.

[@mariomartin8795]

😂dang Shu glad you never had any accidents

[@rdnax92]

4:07 at least couple of third party manufacturers offer the corresponding Fork-holder for their detachable pedals...

[@dashamin]

Yes i changed mine too to Ti parts pedal as well.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

They feel really nice so far.

[@dashamin]

@@BromptonFamilyTime do u find it faster to pedal forward? I do find it faster though.

[@tito2928]

Wow that is crazy that they were so loose. This is so crazy I have a set of pedal from TI also that I have not instal yet because I was waiting to come back from New York I got the ones that are similar to the one Brompton.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

Hi Victor! Cool, I can't wait to see yours. I thought you were in NY for only the weekend or did you come back already?

[@tito2928]

Just that weekend, I came back to Atlanta and is been crazy at work. Haven’t had too much time to put them on but will do this weekend.

[@tito2928]

Oh I also got some continental tires that I saw online. I think I’m changing those too.

[@tup2012]

Another great video, thank you! I want to change my T line pedals too, but in my case I need a pedal holder. Do you think the Ti parts holder can be fit to the rear frame securely?

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

I'm not sure since the T Line is a skewer type axle. Have you checked out the handlebar plug ones?

[@tup2012]

@@BromptonFamilyTime no I haven't. Will have a look on that. Thank you!

[@Ram-69]

Not only T line. Standard Brompton also the same. They over tighten or lose.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

I've had loose screws on some of my older Bromptons. I guess it depends on whoever assembles the bike. I guess I will need to check my bikes more closely when I buy them.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

@Sailing Sexy I've had the same problem on some of my other Bromptons. My hand muscle would cramp up and it made me hate changing pedals.

[@huangteng]

Please apply loctite 243 to all the studs! I didn't and had to buy replacement studs as a few dropped out during cycling. Your feet will move about and it will cause the studs to loosen.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

Same here. I use it on all the small screws.

[@seductive_Octopus]

At the End of the Year, the Bike is so lightweight. It will borderline float, instead of roll. 😁👍

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

👩🏼‍🦲 I love the T-Line so far. It's definitely nice to have a light weight bike. It doesn't really need any upgrades but I can't stop myself 🤣

[@binjones]

Why not try the MKS pedals? I have found them to be both light but great for the shoe grip factor. I ride with the pearl izumi flat pedal shoes with the boa system.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

MKS pedals are great. I just wanted something lighter. They do make titanium spindles that fit the MKS pedals to lighten them. Maybe I will try that out in the future.

[@NightOwwl728]

Another Arnold reference at the very end, I see.

[@johnloncarevic199]

Hey did you upgrade your brakes? Noticed you had different levers than stock brompton

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

I have a short video coming out on it. It's simple though you just need a shifter/bell adapter mount.

[@wingcreator]

I would suggest changing the brake pads at least. I found the original Brompton brake pads terrible (worse than my old Tern). I change mine to SwissStop Flash Pro.

[@jralicea6299]

I'm leaning toward the MKS compact pedals QR in gray, didn't think about shoe sizing. I wear a size 9 Nike & 8.5 Vans for example so would platform of the MKS be good? The TI pedals if they're smaller I wouldn't consider. Thanks for the info, look forward to your comments!

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

It really depends on the pedal. I find that the harder shoes will slip more and softer shoes (my crocs) grip it well.

[@jralicea6299]

@@BromptonFamilyTime thank you!

[@cosmicizzat]

this is way out of topic, but I need to ask what brand glasses are you wearing?

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

🙋🏻‍♀️Hi. We recently made review video about the glasses, I wish I could put the link but youtube won't let me so please search by this title OMBRAZ ARMLESS SUNGLASSES LONG TERM REVIEW AFTER EVERYDAY USE FOR BIKING HIKING BACKPACKING FISHING!

[@cosmicizzat]

@@BromptonFamilyTime ok cool will check it out. Thanks!

[@whodunit5621]

Does the pedal say how many nm to tighten pedals? My new stem had values written so small, but there.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

It doesn't say. But as long as you hand tighten it with a long wrench it will be fine. It doesn't need to be super tight.

[@greenerick]

Bloody lose pedals if you had a accident Brompton would be in trouble wow . Anyway great video

[@platypushatstand]

A socket set, ratchet driver and torque wrench are better tools than an Allen key, especially on a £4k bike (some people never listen). Plus, as others have said Loctite 243 (red) or at the very least Loctite 242 (blue) on the pedal pegs, else you’ll need to replace the black pegs with red when you loose a few.

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

You can't use a torque wrench on these pedals. Only a 15mm wrench will fit. Loctite is definitely a good idea. If I lose any of the pegs I will replace them with the red ones. If you start to see my pedal turn red then you know why lol.

[@josephd9079]

will take out the side nuts as it will scratch the feet. :)

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

They grip well so far.

[@railwaystationmaster]

Hello channel can I use conventional pedals ie non folding soon a T line ?

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

Sure the right pedal is non folding on my T Line.

[@bahgatmostafa1927]

Thanks for the video- Ti parts is the worst entity to buy from products, logistics are crap. If you get a response you will be lucky. My first experience and last with them

[@johnsenpamintuan4414]

Hows the performance of tiparts pedals.. what is your foot size

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

My favorite pedals so far. I have lost a few of the studs (they come with extras in red so I replaced them already). Mens 7-8. They are smooth and feel great. I haven't had my foot slip once.

[@johnsenpamintuan4414]

@@BromptonFamilyTime great thanks for idea

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

I don't like to be able to loose my pedal!

[@BromptonFamilyTime]

I only remove it when I am putting it into my car and need the space. Besides that it never gets removed. It doesn't bother me when I am carrying it.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

And, having owned an English car (once!), I'm not amazed by badly functioning parts.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

And, please use a proper tool for the job, when tightening a bolt.

[@chrislabish]

Good gravy man.
