    What do you think of my new Brompton? What color would you have gotten? What upgrades do you think I'll be making?

      How does shifting work with internal hub gears and the rear derailleur? Do you have two shift levers?

      ​@@sklegggood question. Yep! RD shifter on left and Internal Hub shifter on right :)

    Thanks for all your great videos! One good modification is to an M stem with the flat S bars to get a lower position . I put a 300 mm stem on mine and love it!

    Hello, the bike is very nice, and thanks for sharing this beautiful moment of opening the box, I also bought the C line electric M6L BK about a month ago where I live there are many unevennesses and I need a little help on the climbs, I am very happy With the result, I hope you enjoy it and we will continue watching your videos and how you count them, greetings 😊👍🚴

    I guess you like GREEN. I like how the Brompton folds, I do not like the how the 6 speed shifts(internal hub + derailleur). I would prefer either a 6 speed hub or a 6 speed derailleur.

    • @BestSideCycling
      @BestSideCycling  Год назад

      Haha how did you guess 😂 I do in fact like green. I agree, I'd much prefer a derailleur but I don't know if that complicates the folding process

    In 2019, during high Covid I found out to buy a then top, flame painted yellow, SuperlightM6LXBrompton (Titanium fork and back frame. And no room/wire to hold a pump)! As we are generally tall persons in Scandinavia it was delivered with a long size seat post from the shop, as standard and not fitting my new German B&W luggage box for a Brompton! I had to remove the saddle and pin from the bottom, before packing.
    Since then I have changed much to titanium and carbon and have added leather sown on the frame and stempost, for protection during handling, as I have also bought protection plates to replace the original, and mostly useless, clear tapes from the factory!
    For now it is down to 9,35 kilo, with mudguards and I expect to come below 9 kilo soon, by further improvements. Finn. Denmark

      I would advise to buy a tool set for inside the frame!

      The newer pump it's supposed to get to a higher pressure and is also made to mount on any of the frames. It has a strap and a bracket. You might want to look into that or look into things that are similar

    Thank you for sharing your Brompton. I will be purchasing a C line in the future. Can I replace the seat with any seat, or does Brompton only allow their brand seat? Thanks! Waiting for your reply.

    • @BestSideCycling
      @BestSideCycling  Год назад

      You can basically use any saddle, you just need to attach it to the pentaclip accessory that comes with the bike.

      Wow! Very much appreciate the prompt response. And since you responded so quickly, I have subscribed to your channel. I’m currently riding a Zizzo folding bike until I purchase a Brompton. My Zizzo is an 8 speed, though and I live in Austin, Texas, which is very hilly, so the Zizzo doesn’t kill my knees too too much😂
      I’m just a little concerned, because the Brompton C line is only 6 speeds. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you, sir! Waiting for your reply.

    • @BestSideCycling

      @@TamiLovesRioSamba do you know the exact gear inches of your zizzo bike? This is a measurement you can use to determine the difficulty of spinning one revolution of the crank. If you can find that out for your zizzo, the lowest gear of the Brompton has a 33 gear inch and you can compare.

    • @TamiLovesRioSamba

      Thank you! I will look into it.

    I would have waited till next year, then Brompton will release 12 Gear Versions.

    • @BestSideCycling
      @BestSideCycling  Год назад +1

      Haha if that's really true then I'm due for another Brompton! :O

      Apologies but there are only Germans Videos at the Moment but you see it already in the title 12 Gang = 12 Gears ( I understand them because I'm German)
      It's German because there is/was a big bike show that is one of the biggest in Europe and brompton always shows new models there.
      It's a 6 speed Bear Grylls Adventure Edition
      And new 12 Speed external Chain Gear Version's on thr C Line, so no hub anymore

    • @TamiLovesRioSamba
      @TamiLovesRioSamba Год назад +1

      Really! Can you tell me about when this 12 gear will come out? Thanks!

    Which chainring you chose for your Brompton?

    • @BestSideCycling
      @BestSideCycling  Год назад

      This has the stock one on it so it has 50T and I'll most likely keep it that way
