mudguards for life

literally no one.

Yeah, Ti is expensive, CHPT3 branding as well. So you shave off some quids on the mudguards :)

I took mudguards off brompton day i got it.
And converted to singlespeed.
With 60x12.
And Kojaks.

Its all about practicality.

Behind the paint, that’s nothing that fancy!

You can do better @hoke!

Where's the best place to get a new rear Brompton mudguard? Mine has disintegrated at one of the fixing points.

I want a bigger/longer mudflap at the front, what's the best way?

Yup, perfect, thanks.

Swapping mine to black if you want my silver ones

Seems good value:

@maynardeames do you know what’s the best oil/lube/solution for the stiff hinges?

Finish line wet lube for the June itself, the hinge clamp, spin all the way out, clean and lightly grease

You can just cut one from tarpaulin fabric using the original as a template. I made a longer one in about 15 mins from some black tarp pvc.

What coating is that? Some kind of vinyl shop like they do for cars?

What's the weight difference between a singlespeed Brompton and the hub-geared versions?

@dicki or @maynardeames will probably know this.
