Brompton owners

Side by side the Shimano is so much rougher and so much slower, Son spins for days. With the better lamp includes (£100 retail vs £30ish) I think it’s ok value at retail tbh.

o rly? I did not know that. I have all 3 but no way to compare.

Brompton journeys are shorter which doesn't warrant dynamo and if you get a bag those lights can just stay in there with a 5cm USB cable to charge. Its completely unnecessary on a brompton IMO.

;P

disagree.

did I say that? I was wrong. Plus I had to business expense something

Dynamos change lives®

It was @amey advising me a year ago

For my use you were totally right.

yeah i also wish id gone dynamo..

Single speed/double speed/six speed?

Asked predominantly to those who own such a bike, and have visited my house.

You don’t exactly live in a flat area...

2 speed! if I needed id go 3 long before 6

6 speed .. same as I have, you can have a go with normal length seatpost (if you can) next time you are in SCH. I think I came to yours on brompton last time round .. had to use my lowest gear.

Either 2 spd or 6 spd

I shall ride round to yours on my 2 speed then we can laugh about our attempts to ride up your road on it for weeks afterwards.

6 speed unless you like spinning out on 75gi

Just sold a chpt3 and the guy made me fit marathon plus tyres.

I own a 2 speed, having visited yours, i would say not 2 speed.

Commuting home to the GFs parents is uphill the entire way and ive been basically falling through their front door every evening

Ok, so I'm looking for an M6L, with a dynamo?

M? get S!

Yes, with dynamo.

Presumably M with S bars for maximum slammage

Over 5’10” and planning on riding further than 2 miles - M it is.

Seeing as it’s you @Dammit don’t forget the superlight.

Always s.

I'm 187cm, if that matters?
