Brompton owners

The cateye rear one mounts to the saddle itself - I'm not aware of one which mounts to the rails.

But it has to be a 2016 (or later) saddle - with a threaded insert moulded into the underneath of the saddle.

What’s wrong with knog?

That’s the one. I haven’t used it in months so couldn’t remember if it mounted to the rails or the saddle, and was too lazy to get up and walk 4 steps to look.

Here in Londres Sud it is too hot for 4 steps :)

Cateye front mount and the rear one can mount on your seatpost or saddle.

Much f stop on that image

Cateye 400 front and rapid x mini rear - for newer saddles

Moon Comets.

Who’s around in London next weekend?!

Yup

Which handlebar ends are those? Do they affect the fold?

They're Lifeline Ergo grips. No issue with the fold.

Keep an eye out for a demo bike and a m6 lagoon blue + baby!

If I dont do DD I'll be there .. are you racing @umop3pisdn @Dick ?

Unfortunately not.

Kinda wish I’d done the Nocturne again, and signed up for the world champs, as with the current volume of brompton riding im doing I doubt there’ll be a better time.

Natch

I’ll be there after my morning track session, will come and cheer/heckle at you guys!

Second round of subtle upgrades.

58T chainring makes the world of difference.
Only noticed on changing over the chainring that I was missing the hidden bolt....

No bling gumwall? Look super tidy btw!

Is it the 130bcd? Did you need to get the bolts too? And how many links is your chain?

Chain is 102 links

You can buy the bolts with the chainrings for an extra £5/10(can’t remember exactly) but they don’t include one of the hidden bolts - I had to use an extra long Dura ace bolt I had spare from a triple chainset I butchered for the last brompton for that.

No gumwall yet @HoKe they’ve lost their hype now any Tom Dick and Andy (@umop3pisdn) can buy them!

Plus I never clean the brompton so don’t want to have to start getting precious about it!

Just need to pop some black levers on it, black brake calipers, some nicer easy wheels, and a second black hinge clamp, different saddle, and I think I’ll leave it alone...

I'd fold that ring under my sick watts

My thoughts also - it’s a little flimsy.

My 5s Power is about 1350W - if it doesn’t fold under that then I’ll be impressed.

Initial thoughts are, it feels surprisingly solid.

Just got you a free set of brand new 2018 brakes... will send more details in a mo, the guys at the DD this weekend not bwc

What is actually different about the 2018 brakes?
