DIY Front Block Bag for Foldable Bicycles | Brompton Front Carrier Block Bag | Foldies Bag

Make your own front block bags for folding bicycles simply with a bag and an adapter! Tip: Go with a structured bag so that it would hold its shape, and add a hard backing inside to give it more support. You could also start by trying this out on a low cost bag first! Let me know if you've more bag recommendations :)

Well done ! Especially from a lady as most DIY-ers had been males! Proud of you! I own a 3 Sixty and certainly can pick up similar good ideas from you. Tq very much.

[@silveroflegends7635]

Wowww thank you so much! Literally the simplest vid on RUclips and the best! Thank you I will copy your style and save £150 while having a nice front bag 🏆🏆

[@avchiang]

Happy this helped! Enjoy your little project :)

[@ifreylai3499]

You are really a genesis! first time saw lady doing bicycle DIY.

[@avchiang]

Thank you! Hope to learn and share more :)

[@henrycheong6709]

Use ABS plastic backing (like a very thin cutting board from Daiso) that covers the entire base instead of a flimsy cardboard will make the bag more rigid and not flop over.

[@avchiang]

thanks for the tip and recommending budget-friendly Daiso!

[@ar-t2742]

Oh my word, I was searching for a bag to match my Aceoffix but could not find anything suitable so thought of modding. And what a pleasant surprise that the best instruction came from a fellow Singaporean! I have subscribed and cannot wait to try out the mod!!!

[@avchiang]

Thanks for dropping by! Hope you’re enjoying your one of a kind bag :)

[@Inkling777]

Like that cable management idea. For those a budget, thrift stores sell bags of all sizes for just a few dollars.

[@avchiang]

Thanks for watching!

[@janice06101978]

for the internal backing, it will be better to use a plastic which will make the bag look more firm when with things/load in it.

[@avchiang]

yeah definitely!

[@sundaylogbook]

Well done 👍I think i should try. Thanks for the tips.

[@avchiang]

Have fun with your project!

[@fleng]

thank you avalyn!

[@avchiang]

Thank you for watching :)

[@handsonbrompton7875]

Very useful, Nice result 👍

[@avchiang]

Thank you! Happy it’s useful :)

[@ivanteo1973]

i suggest a 2~3mm thick kydex sheet instead of cardboard. Cardboard will disintegrate after some time.

[@avchiang]

Sturdier would definitely be better! Didn’t have materials on hand so the cardboard. Let’s see how long it lasts :p

[@bulgozee]

Great recommendation and amazing how you make video taking looks easy. 😭

[@avchiang]

Thanks for the support!😍🥰

[@DirganFasa]

👍😊 thanks for sharing

[@avchiang]

thanks for the support! :D

[@AisKinMusic]

Great idea. Time to convert my camera sling bag. New sub here btw. Awesome videos. Upload more pls :)

[@avchiang]

Thank you for dropping by! :)

[@alvinteekl]

Try using acrylic for the backing.

[@avchiang]

Maybe for the next bag when I rmb to buy acrylic backing before making it hahaha. Have you tried acrylic and how did it go?

[@anthonylim2503]

Thanks for sharing =D

[@avchiang]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@kaviee72yarasu62]

Very useful

[@nams9298]

Thanks so much!! now i can transform my tokidoki jujube to become like Gofondo or UrbanX tokidoki 😂😂😆

[@amalusbarakna9587]

I think the bag is for putting your lunch in or something. But being its from IKEA, anything also can lah haha

[@avchiang]

yeah surprisingly roomy in a good size!

[@murugnimai]

U r very intelligent

[@patricksze76]

Where to get the adaptor? I got a camp Royale

[@avchiang]

I got it from Shopee! shp.ee/kckajv9

[@linkcubuspark]

nice! what shop did you buy your camp bike by the way?

[@avchiang]

Mobot :)

[@patricksoonaikgoh743]

I am using camp lite but the cable getting in the way any advice? I see the those trifold bikes had their cables behind the handles... Feel kinda pointless if you have a front block but unable to use it....

[@avchiang]

I push the cables to both sides! If you can see from the vid, no extreme bending is fine I think!

[@ektad0002]

May I ask what screws you used for the bracket?

[@avchiang]

Hello! It’s a nut + screw, sorry didn’t note the measurements

[@TheVTX88]

Did you say something? I couldn’t hear you over that horrible sound track.

[@hamdannoordin7722]

Avalyn do you have link for the front block?

[@avchiang]

Here you go! shp.ee/nvt8263

[@hamdannoordin7722]

@@avchiang tq so much

[@hazelisaacs2201]

Sorry I had to watch with the sound off as the tinny repetitive background music was too distracting.
It may be fashionable to do this but it makes it so much more difficult to hear what you are saying. Please only have "music" during the parts of your video when you are not speaking.

[@athomenotavailable]

Congrats on beating the system. Accessories for trifolds are all way overpriced no thanks to the overly atas branding of Brompton

[@avchiang]

Glad this was useful for you!
