  • I was wearing a headtorch when cleaning the Brompton the other day and accidentally got a good view down the tubes of the triangle when I had the bike upside down. Rust well under way, big orange flakes of it. About 2200km, never left outside, just coming up to a year old.

    On a different note, I haven’t been getting on too well with the MKS Compact Ezys and in a bid to rule them out as suspects in some recent knee woe, I have swapped to non-removable, larger flats - Shimano EF202. Now to see how much I miss being able to take the left pedal off.

  • If you do find that you don’t kiss the removable pedals and we’re looking at offloading the MKS’s I’d be interested! What didn’t you like about them? Too small? No grip? Those were my concerns but I’ve never seen a pair in person and it’s a bit of a punt to try having bought new

    FWIW I’ve used flats or spds almost exclusively on mine and with the exception of a few times on the train it’s never really been an issue having a pedal sticking out. Just have to be slightly more careful when carrying it up stairs

  • The combination of very grippy flat shoes, grippy pedals, and small contact area means my foot can’t rotate and I think this might be contributing to some recent knee trouble, hence trying something else out. May well end up going back to the MKS if it turns out I need a removable pedal (although the T-line ones are tempting me).

    The Compact Ezy pedal and the adapters are good - perhaps a little narrow for the larger of foot. I did feel the sides of my shoes were hanging off the sides a bit.

    On another different note, I have just noticed this minute that my Brompton seems to have an alarming amount of play in the steering.
