Brompton owners

Looks like a good alternative to Swytch.
Arcc are worth a mention; they even sell converted Bromptons.

Which child carrier is this?

He told me it's called "Duramaxx King Rex" and he bought it on amazon. No long term feedback unluckily

I’m on the list but haven’t got an email for pre-order.

Questions:

1. Do they still let you have a 2 speed set up?
   
2. Are the hubs torque sensing?
   
3. How much was it on pre-order?
   

When I first saw it I thought: where's the battery? It looks tiny!
Range would be a deal breaker for me, I think!

On 3. From the video = £599.
Retail = £999 (estimated).
I can't believe I watched that video

I just got the mail-out from them and it’s £599 + VAT

They obviously don’t realise ‘last mile’ isn’t actually about 1 mile.

Great questions, i probably should have asked before parting with my £718

Best VFM dynamo setup is....?

i bought the dynamo wheel already built from sjs (sp hub) -- which cost-wise is really good.

lights can be had for cheap but i went with iq-xs (front) and a b+m (that looks identical to the son rear). not the best value for money but its a great setup.

is the lezyne brompton pump worth it? i just broke my old zefal one ....

i dont even have a brompton but am so so intrigued by this. it looks great. yes range wont be ideal but for rail commuters it looks amazing

what i dont understand is whether you can still run a geared setup with it?

From the video I think it’s a two speed. And the hub has the torque sensor built in. I actually think the lower range but smaller battery is a good tradeoff. If the ride is more than an hour, I’d probably take a full size bike anyway. And the fact that it’s a brompton means you can just bring it in and charge it.

Yes it’s much better, the triangle brackets are shit though

+sbbohr is there a reason why no one has come up with a regular sized pump c. 30-35cm which could be stored in the seat tube?

I know you have quite some connections with the grey market mod suppliers, can you ask them for me if you ever chat with them again?

I have a BSR rear wheel up for grabs. Virtually new, it was taken off my wife’s bike and swapped for a BWR due to hills. Probably 50 miles on it, at best.

Collection CR7 or N16 or can meet inbetween.

Does £90 sound fair?

Dahon have had a seatpost pump for years. It’s not great, but it does work.

I'm looking for some silver brake callipers. Brompton have discontinued them and all I can seem to find is the black variant. Also if anyone has the new style brake levers I'd be interested.

Got play in my rear hinge for sure - how much is too much and what’s it going to cost to fix at lunar ?

Hold the frame and wiggle the back end - more than 3 or 4mm at the dropout and it’s time to replace.

Should cost around £50 all in.

Ta - yeah - the wiggle is real. Ho hum.

Ship it over to Somerset, £22.50 parts, £20 labour

Whereabouts are you?
