  • Still in!

  • Need to check what I'm actually doing this weekend with 'er indoors..

  • Still in!

  • I might be up for this, I'd also like to feel the weight difference let's do some comparison on Sunday. We can swap bromptons for a bit

    that's what I have. i find the 69gi on the middle to be ok but a bit wearing on the legs over 11mi commuting (compared to 69 on my surly) the low end is spinny so i only use it when i'm knackered and want to pootle on the uphills and the top end is good for casually destroying/baiting cat6 roadies on the downhills.

    i've toyed with the idea of switching to 2 speed as i'd prefer to drop the weight of the hub but haven't fully made my mind up about it but if you don't rush out to replace yours there's a remote possibility for some kind of swapsies down the line perhaps.

  • I'm still in and up for a bit of bike swapping.

    I'll pop my keys into the fruit bowl with an S2L. WLTM open minded P6R for weekend outdoors fun.

  • Still in.

    First forum ride, and its on a Brompton, its like 10,000 spoons...

  • Still in!

  • Should be getting a brompton tomorrow, so in for this ride.

    repped

  • I'd really like to bring a +1 (pops) but she's Bromptonless! Is anyone who is unable to make it willing to lend their Brommy for the day? It will come back with beers and/or cakes :)

    It's looking more and more like I can't. if so, feel free to borrow mine. I'll try and give it a once over beforehand.

  • Just picked up new brompton, and my mks ezy pedals arrived this morning. ready!

  • do you have the oversized pedal spanner you need to get the brompton pedals off or have they stopped doing that now?

  • who saddly can't make it

    Sores?

    You only need an allen key to remove the standard Brompton pedals these days.

    I finally fitted a pair of MKS Urban Step in pedals last night, very pleased with them.

  • Which reminds me, I ended up with a non-quick-removable pair of the flat/TIME pedals which are for sells: http://www.lfgss.com/thread114675.html

  • Sores?

    You get him touch with him, kindly ask for his brompton for the day and join the ride! Yeah you do that, rather than making fun of foreigners!

    Non mais alors!

  • Potentially stupid question... Will I need a lock? Most of the time i travel without one on the brompton as it comes inside with me. Trying to travel light innit.

  • In theory we should be allowed to take the bikes inside the caf.
    Should be OK in pubs too...

    I'm not taking any lock anyway...

  • I'm out, I have a massive headcold and feel rotten, have fun guys!

  • You'll be fine by sunday, do come!

  • We'll see!

  • Def in. Despite mrs-ru trying to have people over for lunch.

    It better not rain now.
