    Looks like you’ve covered that video well, whole new meaning to take a seat.

    Excellent, I have to try this. Having a telescopic seat post, I suppose I could get a higher ceiling.

      True and you could easily fit another folded Brompton in there if their are two of you!

    I love it, so clever. Never thought of this. On a sort of related note i have a tent i researched with a Brompton in mind. It's a Decathlon mt900 2 person tent. What makes it Brompton specific is the shorter than usual pack length fits perfectly in a T Bag, and it has 2 vestibules, one for my access in and out, and the other to hide the Brompton away 👍

    I've got a longer tarp and a Burley Travoy trailer. I have been thinking about this and it looks OK. The Travoy trailer doubles as a seat when you take the wheels off. I do like a comfy seat when I'm camping.

      Sounds good! A comfy seat is always a bonus 👍

    As to stability for the folded Brompton, I’d seen another video when the guy used paracord / bungee wrapped once around the main frame and guyed out either side of the frame.

    • @veloworks9266
      @veloworks9266  Год назад

      I’ve seen this video and a good idea however as we have a rack we didn’t need it as it was stable enough 👍

    Hello Paul,
    That looks like it will work well, I am looking forward to hearing how it works in a real overnight test. See you on the next one.
    Take care.

    Looks a great setup. Also like how part folding keeps the oily chain away from your kit. Look forward to the real world test

    Hi Paul, I recently bought a second hand Brompton and I am now watching all your vids. Is there actually one where you discuss the butterfly bars on your Brompton ? Greetings from Flanders.

    • @veloworks9266
      @veloworks9266  Год назад

      Hi, thanks so much for watching and subscribing! In the ‘why I love my Brompton’ video I do discuss them but these are the P bars which came with the P6r - sadly they don’t make them anymore 😭

  • @bernesepuppy
    @bernesepuppy Год назад +3

    Great video. I’ve used a tarp for walking long distance paths but never thought of using the Brompton. I’d just suggest a small ground sheet - still a lot lighter than a tent….

    • @veloworks9266
      @veloworks9266  Год назад +3

      Good suggestion. When I walk I use a survival bag that I would have on me anyway as the ground sheet 👍 so I will be sure to take that when I go with my Brompton. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙌 Happy Cycling
