Brompton owners

Fair enough, just check the rims wear just to be safe.

For Ed's tyre advice credentials search for his name and "randonneur". For Ed's advice credentials search for his name.

Never gets old...

People are allowed to learn stuff over the years, funnily enough.

I did not know that.

People are allowed to lean

you MANIAC!

Amazing...

I think you should be fine. Personally I'll be using longer bolts and loctite just to be safe as I don't think the supplied bolts are nearly long enough, especially if you carry luggage every day. Just keep an eye on it to make sure the block isn't starting to loosen up, as a heavy bag vibrating is a quick way to strip out what is quite a tiny thread in the frame.

See you in March then bro x

Sorry @edscoble, couldn't resist.

Hopefully picking up @motoko's Brompton tonight. Quite excited to be independent again after nearly three weeks of being marooned at the in-laws with no bikes.

Just swapped my original seatpost for an extended one, anyone in need of an original seatpost before I send it to t'bay?

Let me know.

@edscoble, where do you reckon is the best place for a service? My second hand one probably hasn't had one in 5-6 years of existence (it doesn't get out super often though)

Anyone got experience of taking a Brompton on the national express? Closed tunnels making my commute a right hassle...

Usually any shop with a good reputation and/or shop that usually sell Brompton.

No idea, but do post back about your experience if you give it a go.

Post it to Kinetics in Glasgow.

My old stomping ground...

Getting the hang of the fold/unfold and digging the freedom, although as i'm currently staying at the top of a 4km climb home from the station the fact that the standard seatpost is too short even for stumpy pins is killing me. I think the extended will do for me rather than the telescopic. Will report back once i've done some tweaks.
