Brompton owners

An electric bike ?

Hope your friendly with your local dentist ...

Not bad little kits, the twist/thumb throttle isn't road legal. Do wish they would make a better/bigger bag that doesn't render the front bracket entirely useless when the kit is fitted.

I think it just about works with the H handlebar model.

Totally sketchy that. New Brompton front ends are much more reinforced.

@maynardeames I thought you might like this. Came in the other day and it's totally bananas.

Hell Yeah! you know whats up.. this is built by Vincent (http://www.debromptonwinkel.nl/ / https://www.instagram.com/eerder_metaal_debromptonwinkel/)

He is a rad guy and also just made a lefty fork!

Anyone fancy a jtek ti seatpost 600mm? RRP £200

Why CK headset when everything else is Hope?!?!?! ;)

Size.

@maynardeames The level of detail and finish on the frame work was second to none. It was really impressive, and makes you wonder if that might be a direction Brompton should consider.
Owner was a great guy as well.

Colour match and hope do not make something for a threaded headset, you can fit hopes, if you use a USE ring-go-star though.

Get your kinetics stuff south of the border!

Pannier racks and Rohloff protectors in stock soon, forks and triangles to follow!

Sturdy looking. What's the weight limit on those?

Really itching for a Di2 Bromy now.

Didn’t kinetics lose their dealer status because of the mods? Have you got some kind of special understanding with brompton?

10kg as per the FCB.

Got some builds coming up..

1x11 hydro disc
Disc Rohloff
Rohloff calliper

Love to do an Etap disc tbh

Best to speak to Ben about why they ceased dealing directly.

Contracts states any aftermarket modifications loose Brompton endorsement and warranty, we have to inform the customer in writing that we cover that instead!

Not bad that; actually impressive weight distribution for a of M5's.

Etap disc would be pretty funky. What rear triangle you using? Also you using asymmetric rims?

We use Vostok triangles, hopefully soon be stocking kinetics forks and triangles too for a steel option.

Also regularly in touch with Vincent, who built the bike you posted, so would happily / love to build using his options.

For Rohloff I use a cr18 due to the 32h requirement + good quality and strength, plus Uk dealer so we have tonnes.

Otherwise we use either the stock Brompton rims, jk Alu / carbon or whatever the customer fancies. They are all symmetrical though!

His stuff is awesome. When’s he launching the lefty fork?

Got lots of testing etc to do I believe. I clearly want one just because...

Is it possible to use Schwalbe Presta tubes on regular Brompton rims, or is the valve hole too large for the valve ring?

Yes, just use this - https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rims-tape/mavic-rim-valve-hole-drilling-converter-insert-schraeder-to-presta/

Or use one of these stepped washers which comes with certain tubes? Pretty sure your LBS will have some if you ask nicely.
