I've got a spare HPR pump (belonged to my first Brompton which was nicked). Don't think it's ever been used, it's in perfect condition. Free to a good home in exchange for a donation to the forum. I can post it.

Now that's definitely a key to the little one's heart ;-)

In response to @stevo_com's inspired suggestion, I present version 2: replacement of plywood with triple, glued Mini Magnum ice cream sticks.

Good thinking, some oil as (in true bodge style) I'm too lazy to paint it

Brompton rear light holder bodge, plywood, nylock nuts and sundry bolts.

Looks super, you're sure to love it. Here's my C50 with its Record 10spd groupset, all from 2005. The paint job looks better than most six month old bikes you see around today. And it's been ridden hard, in all sorts of filthy weather.

Will an external BB not be the ideal solution? See https://www.bikemonger.co.uk/yst-threadless-bottom-bracket-58-p.asp?_=&variantid=60

I have one of these on my old Carlton steel frame, works fine. Mavic used to do something similar, I had one on my Vitus 992 many years ago.

+1 for Christophe, been using them for years, some of them in excess of 20 years!

Never wear brown to town. Otherwise, this is totally fine.

Toolstation sell degreaser for not too much, if that's close enough? https://www.toolstation.com/home-strip-super-strength-degreaser/p28838

I do exactly the same. Seems okay, I usually only remember to top about three mins into the ride, though ...

I'll take them if your buyer falls through, I have a set of these hubs on one of my bikes and need a set for the other bike.

Have bought two, delivered yesterday, really good quality. One will be framed and given to a six year-old Ukrainian girl for her birthday this coming week. She, her mother and grandmother are living with a friend here in the UK under the Ukrainian refugee settlement scheme.

Donated, thanks for the link.

It's what happens when Putin plays with matches.

Have you got the cable anchor bolt in the mech installed correctly and the cable passing around it in the correct orientation?

Could be fake social media accounts set up by Russian state-sponsored trolls, who portray themselves as Indian or Serbian in order to give the impression that there are countries whose population supports the Russian invasion.

To be fair, it should probably read "Fuck you, Putin's warship", given the Russian people are as upset as we are with his actions.

Donated, thank you so much for taking the initiative!

Idea for merch: t-shirt with "Fuck you, Russian warship" on it.

I've had success spraying the inside with electrical contact cleaner, which dissolves the grease, then using silicone release spray as the lubricant.

Trying to fit the Brompton seatpost insert so I get the right saddle height each time I unfold the bike. Problem I have is that once the insert has been fitted, I cannot get the seatpost back in from the bottom of the seat tube, the inner diameter of the seat tube is too narrow. I've followed the Brompton video on YouTube and can't see what the issue is, can anyone give some pointers, please?

Presuming the pedal threads are okay (can't really see on the photos), I'll give it a go. Can you private message your details and price, please?

Thank you for the photos. Do you have an idea of the year of the 10 speed ?

Aha, well spotted! If I could have a photo of yours and the code, please, I should be able to work it out.

I was looking at the same file, it says that Nerius will fit "Chorus Carbon compact 11s" but there are no TA rings listed against "Chorus Carbon Compact 10s" ?
