Transcript:
Welcome back to Everyday Cycling, a place where we talk about riding bikes as a way to lead a simpler and happier lifestyle. I am Victor, and today we’re back at the Georgia Tech campus, at a student organized bike shop called Starter Bikes. I’m happy that they allowed me to record this video here. Being able to eventually use their space and their tools will be a huge enabler for some of the videos I wanna make. I’ll talk more about this place in a different video, because today’s topic is going over some truly useful upgrades for the Brompton. Let’s get this bike on the stand and give it a quick clean.
The first accessory is a rear view mirror called Mirrycle. I’ve been using this mirror on different bikes for the past 9 years. The way this works is by sticking this part inside of the handlebar and screwing this bolt. That will bring these little plastic pieces against each other and locking inside of the handlebar. But to install this on the Brompton, it’s clear we’re gonna have to do something about this grip and cut a hole through it. Using a knife to cut through the rubber is a good start, but there’s some hard plastic underneath. With the grip properly modified, we can put it back on the brompton, and install the mirror. I like installing it upside down, as it doesn’t affect the folding and you’re still able to see well. After folding the bike, if you want, you may need to give it a little twist so it stays completely out of the way.
Moving down on the stem let’s have EZ-Clamp Springs Installed on this bike. I’ve covered these springs on a previous video, they’re super easy to install and they’re really helpful to keep the clamp aligned when screwing and unscrewing the hinges. Definitely not an essential item, but it’s a nice touch.
The next one is one my favorites, and it’s also been featured on this channel before, and that’s the X-roller wheel extender. To install it, we first need to remove the original brompton wheels. When mounting the extender, make sure that the extendable axle is on the righthand side. Then, we need to screw the bolts on the sides, keeping the wheel extender straight up. There are some very small socket screws that go in here and keep these lugs into place. Make sure you tighten them too. Once everything is solid, just reinstall the wheels. The left side is straight forward, but the right side requires a 9 mm wrench to prevent the extendable axle from rotating while you are tightening the wheel. Now the bike is much easier to roll around, and also a lot more stable. Note how the wheel extender has pleasing click when it’s extended or fully retracted. Some people ask me if there’s any risk of it extending by itself, and it sure does not. This thing is rock solid.
This next upgrade is a rear rack. This is one of the things I’ve missed the most on the Brompton electric thus far. First, I find the bike rather difficult to roll and to use as a shopping cart when doing my groceries. Second, because I wanted to increase the amount of cargo I can carry on it, so having rear rack is an obvious option.
Let’s make this bike even better to roll around by replacing these wheels by the Brompton EZ-Wheels. I took these off my other bike, so they’re not brand new, but they’ll definitely make rolling the Brompton a bit smoother.
Now that I’m considering using the rear rack for cargo, or even having a bag mounted on it, I need a way to keep the bike standing up without having to flip the rear wheel under. For that, I’ll be using a dedicated kickstand. This one is from Silverock. It attaches to the wheel axle and rack bolt on the left side of the bike. Installing it requires removing the axle nut on the left side and the rack bolt, and stacking everything back in the right order.

This is the best Brompton accessories video. Some really clever ideas. My only suggestion for better lights would be Bontrager RT lights. One on the seat post just below the seat, and the other right in the centre under the handlebars (The front light needs rotating inside it’s mount). The perfect Brompton lights setup.
Thank you. Me again, a grateful subscriber. Saw this 3 yrs ago and needed a refresh on some of these. Happy trails. 🎶🐾🎶
Almost everything I know about brompton I have learned in this channel. Lots of content and no boredom. This video too. Thank you. Greetings from Italy. Ciao
That's great to hear! Thank you so much!
@@EverydayCycling I was going to say the same thing....my saved video list for Brompton, is pretty much all your videos Victor. I'm seriously considering ac-line black edition and your videos are helping to me see how handlebar choices and after sales upgrades can happen. I do have to say that the Brompton website bike configurator in the UK is pretty poor and I'll be going to a physical store instead and I now feel better prepared to ask the right questions! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Your videos are always a joy to watch. I keep learning something new and useful. 👍🏼
Amazing content and a pleasure to watch victor! Thank you
this is so useful to see how the rear rack fits on the electric model.
I've been considering this upgrade for a while but wasn't sure how/if the rack could fit the electric model.
Thanks for the video
Excellent video and upgrades....I keep learning. Thank you Victor!
Thank you for another lovely comment! Have a great weekend!
I love the Brazilian music in the background. It’s simultaneously relaxing and stimulating. 😎 🎉
I truly enjoy watching your videos and find your voice and presentation very relatable. Thanks
So nice of you, thanks!
That mirror was the first accessory I bought for the bike, a while ago :) Love it!
Well done, Victor! Great video as usual. Cheers!
Thank you Luiz, good seeing you around!
Victor I was debating a kickstand as well, to get more use out of rack. I found the Minoura SLMV-1 Mini-Velo Stand on the internet. Cost about 65 Us Dollars. I just installed it. Very stable did not have the issues you found. Weighs 155gm. I did find it snapping in the up position, and hitting the rim of the back wheel. To stop that I wrapped velcro around the top of the kick stand, and secured with black electrical tape so it does not slide down. Could also use a dot of Crazy Glue, but I wanted to be able to get it off if I did not like it. Velcro tape stops the inward travel of Kickstand. Thanks for your work on behalf of us all. You made an engineer out of me!
Finally!! Finally a demo on how to install a Klickfix .. i bought it after watching your video few months ago..but i haven't installed it yet until now cuz there's no instructions and i don't know anybody with handyman skills lol..so thanks for showing how to install it
I don't have a Brompton, but have always fancied one, love the idea of folding bicycles etc. Excellent channel 👌🏻
They are expensive but extremely worth it.
Another interesting and beautifully produced video 🙌 Thank you and Stay Safe out there! 😁
Thanks, you too!
Great video Victor, answers questions I had concerning the stand and the QuickFix adapters, and the easy wheels, thank you.
I'm glad to hear that!
Really helpful. Thank you. The main thing for me has been wider handlebars. I swapped mine to Joseph Kuosac ones which sweep in slightly but the grips are in line with my shoulders. The normal bars are 152 cm across. The JK bars are 160, but I cut mine to 158 cm. the bike folds fine. Thanks again
Very informative the klickfix was my favourite, first purchase when out of this blinking lockdown. Thanks
I'm glad you liked it!
Great upgrades!
I like the extention EasyWheel that clicks. Very nice!
It was a great solution for the kickstand, they are very helpful.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
It's very snappy! Do you have a similar issue with your kickstand when you put load in the front bag?
@@EverydayCycling If it is fully loaded it is more difficult to balance. And on a daily basis I always have to pay attention to where do I place the Kickstand to keep on balance.
Found the mirror! Thank you 🌱💚☮️🇳🇱
Nice one Victor. Interesting upgrades as always! 👍
Thank you! Any bike needs some simple upgrades to make it our own, right?
Great ideas and information. News we can use! 👍👍
Great video. Very useful.
Your videos are so thrilling to watch.
Best upgrade on my bike is..............ME!! Love your videos keep em coming and Stay Safe!!
really great content. with so many brompton owners, this channels need more subscribers
Thank you for your support!
Excellent video.
i like the flying sceen at the begining
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, that community bike tool area was awesome 😎
It is indeed!
Someone recommended your channel 🥰
Hello and good morning 😊 i like you Video, thank your so much for your great Ideas 💡
The kind of your videos are geting perfect 👍
Thank you, Thorsten. Good to see you here!
Great content, great music....
I'd consider the EZ-Clamp Spring absolutely essential, to not have worry about aligning the clamp for a tiny cost is soooo essential and the first thing i'd recommend any tri-fold bike rider!
I haven't had trouble in aligning the clamp in twenty years of riding a Brompton.
Sharing with my beloved daughter-in-law, her lovely husband will help her with these..
Today I used my wheel extender and really struggled to keep my bike from tipping over. Thanks to your detailed videos, I realised I'd fitted the extender on the left. But, I think I need a rear rack to achieve good stability when rolling my bike. It would also give better ground clearance thus preventing further damage to my fender. And great tip on the kick stand modification.
You, my son, can come to the UK and stay by me for FREE....with just one condition - upgrade my Brompton Electric JUST like yours!!!
good video. my favourite brompton miror the beam corkcy
I forgot to reply to your comment but I looked it up and it seems very neat for the Brompton. I won't get one now, but definitely will next time I'm in the market for a bike mirror.
As a bike pro ( i'm Dutch) and owner of one, i would strongly advice to use some protective tape like Lizard skins frame protector, and a dynamo hub like a SON is also a great upgrade...
Hi. Please say more about the protective tape idea.
Edit: I looked that up and it appears to be handlebar grip tape. The main objections I would have to that are:
1. Grip tape has a reputation of collecting moisture under it and rusting out metal parts.
2. It covers up the pretty paint job if you value the color of your Brompton (would be OK to cover some areas of high wear, but not most of the frame).
@@b.griffin317 lzard
Lizard skins frame protector.transparant.
@@roelkomduur8073 Oh I see it now. OK. Where would you apply it? It seems to come in single strips so I need to know how much to buy.
Buenas, les cuento una historia: yo nací en 1959..mi primer bicicleta fue una marca Puppi..era japonesa y la usaban en guerra los paracaidistas. Al ser plegable se tiraban de los aviones con ellas. Tu me hicste recordar eso. Gracias por compartirlo y me gustaría tener un lugar así para tomarme unos mates y charlar ya que sigo saliendo en bicicleta y además soy fanático de la mecánica y las buenas ideas. Saludos Roberto de Uruguay 🇺🇾
I'll add two upgrades I find handy. 1. The Brompton's handlebars don't leave much room to mount gear such as a GPS. Search ebay for a "bike handbar extender." That'll let you add a 20 cm bar for accessories. 2. An Ibera PakRac Mini Commuter rack I had on a mountain bike fits the seat post on a Brompton perfectly. You can use it on its own or in addition to the lower-down Brompton rack. As a plus it can be used with Ibera's extensive line of quick-release bike bags at prices that are typically cheaper than Brompton-only ones.
Wouldn't a seat-post rack interfere with folding (or at least making it compact when folded)?
I love the drone shot at the beginning of the video, it’s very cinematic. I also learn that you can’t push the bike with weight on when it’s folded. Would you recommend people to get a R model instead of a L if they haven’t already bought a bike yet? Great video Victor!
Thank you, Paul! I prefer the looks of the L version, but for someone who will often push the bike when folded, grocery shopping for example, the rear rack is a MUST. Now, not everybody likes to push the bike. Some prefer putting it inside of the shopping cart, so it's really up to how one uses it.
Victor is very creative. He is doing great videos. I guess he is studying cinema instead of engineering. :))))
I was able to order my electric with a rack so the store installed it for me before I picked it up. Got the larger front bag, but the battery still eats space up inside it, so I strap a larger box to the rear rack when delivering baked goods for my wife! Rear light is relocated to the rear of the rack too, nicely done by the factory.
@@EverydayCycling is it possible for you to do a detailed installation video for the rear rack on the electric Brompton please? I’m brand new to cycling everyday and the electric Brompton is my first proper bike. I’d love to use it for shopping too but I have no idea how to take apart and replace things. The rear rack is a must have item 👍. Thank you for your time in doing these wonderful videos. L 😊
Great mods!! I especially like the rear wheel extender and the kick stand. Thanks Victor!!
Nice video as always Victor! I'm curious, how much does you Brompton Electric now weight?
Bem legal, vc poderia fazr mais =) Me faz falta deles em pt também =)
Love that Pride crosswalk section at the beginning. Such a cool shot
I love that intersection!
This video addresses a whole bunch of things I've been thinking about for this bike.
I'm glad to hear that!
@@EverydayCycling I've been a little annoyed that the rear rack doesn't come standard, as it seems the versatility of the bike should be paired with the ability to carry more--at least strap a backpack or duffle down.
@@RidingBikesinSanDiego racks aren't for everyone though. I actually took it off my S6 as the constant rattling and meh aesthetics wasn't worth the occasional utility of putting things on the rack.
However, I've now got an electric as well, and I can see that the limited capacity of the City bag along with the motor means I'll probably put stuff on a rack far more often... so old S6 rack probably going to go on the electric soon
@@duncanhamilton5841 I see what you mean about the rack. The Ride On Cycling channel just had a video of 7 upgrades,and one was an interesting hook on the back of the saddle that might cover what I need, when I get there. Without my commute in full force, I get to wait and pick up what everyone is putting down.
@@RidingBikesinSanDiego yeah, that clip she has this is interesting, but for my money that and the rack are imperfect answers to the fact Brompton could had put a bit more thought into the City bag design; the battery takes up so much space.
I've also got a bit of a gripe about the standard bag as that could have been a bit bigger so you could carry a drink in it, rather than just wallet and phone
Wondering your thoughts of the potential advantage of the X-Roller Easy Wheel Extender if I already have the rear rack that does add width stability. Would the X-Roller still be of value to add?
I really like the rainbow crossways
Me too!
Hello Victor have I missed a video where you describe your experience of the Brompton electric?
I remember when you got it and then that night you took it out for a spin but I have not seen anything since then . I’d be pleased to learn of your electric experience
Douglas
The Rear Rack is such a great addition to an Electric Brompton I am amazed it's not the standard configuration. Adds back more than the pinched luggage space lost to the battery and assists rolling when folded.
Love my X roller bar, so easy to deploy with the right toe.
Considering OMNI wheels, 2 or 4 though?
Thanks for your interest, informative vids.
Take care
Two is enough. Four would be quite noisy and installing them on the frame would cause heel strike.
Thanks for your great videos! Did you happen to play with GoRack? How did you like it? I thought you mentioned it in one of your videos but I could not find a review on you channel.
Great video again! How to install the busch and muller an the rear rack if its not the one with batteries? Is there a special adapter?
If possible, you always want your kickstand closer to your payload... that's why on standard bikes, the one that fits on the rear triangle is best. I haven't been paying attention... Brompton has not yet made the "easy wheel" standard? Shame! For me, I think that little plastic gizmo that keeps the clamps aligned/pushed out might even be the *top of this list* of upgrades. Thanks for your great videos!
The original wheel that comes stock these days is much better than a few years ago, so if I didn't have EZ wheels laying around, I probably wouldn't have replaced those. But there's still some noticeable advantage because of the bearings on the EZ wheels versus bushings on the original. The springs are a neat upgrade!
I have the ikea poncho in my bag just in case. Haven't had the need to use it as yet.
Hey Victor, thanks once again for recommending my EZ Clamp Spring. Have you seen my Electric Motor dust/water seal, happy to send you one FOC.
The springs are brilliant! I'd love to take a look at the dust cover in person.
Love it! Great minds think a like, lucky number 7 😀
This was such a huge coincidence! Imagine my face when I got notification about your video yesterday. Hahah i was like: "Did Michelle just use my title?" hahah Thank you!
@@EverydayCycling It could have been my face if I'd release on the weekend! I had Friday off though so I beat you to it. :D
@@OneLessCar ahaha love it!

Check out CRG Lanesplitter mirrors. They are for motorbikes and fold inwards when in tight traffic. I have a pair on my Ducati and my bicycle. Anti-vibration, and replaceable mirrors if they break.
The big give away should be a Brompton because I need one.
Well you dont need to worry if it rains, just fold your cycle and catch a taxi or get on a bus that is the magic of the Bromford, it folds so compactly. Another thing i love about the brompton you never need to lock it up outside when you can fold it and bring it inside with you marvelous. And the cycle looks so trendy, It my be a little bit expensive but the expense is worth every penny you will soon see that for yourself when you purchase one.
Have you got a video of the rear rack installation on the electric Brompton?
I miss these videos, come back @EverydayCycling!
E aí Victor! I have a question about the rack-less grocery shopping you showed at @5:00. I know it has been a while, but would you say it was still usable as a grocery cart without the rack, other than for the noise? My main question ATM is whether to go P-line with our without a rear rack, as I might want to use it for grocery shopping...
Hi Victor, it’s Will from Chicago. I am interested in purchasing several upgrades for my Brompton such as the hinge clamps, seat post clamp, ez wheels, handlebar catch and several others. There are many options available for these but I am struggling with the color choices. I am totally colorblind and unable to distinguish colors from each other. My bike is a flame lacquer black edition. Because it is a black edition, my initial thought was to purchase all black upgrade components, but after considering this, I am wondering if it’s too much black. I’m thinking all the black might be boring. Most of the components are available in silver, gold, titanium color, and of course black. I am wondering which color you think would coordinate best with flame lacquer black edition. I realize this is personal taste, but for me everything is shades of gray. Hopefully you are familiar with the flame lacquer color and can offer some advice. If black really is the best, then it will help me to know. I appreciate you help and look forward to your response.
Thanks for the Excellent upgrade options. I dont currently own a Brompton but im torn between a Brompton B75 entry model in Ireland New at €900 Euro or a used Dahon EEZZ D3 for €500 used in really good condition. The extremely Light weight Dahon comes in at 9.7kg and the Brompton B75 at 11.6KG One concern id have with the brompton is that accessories seem really expensive compared to other brands. Each has their pros and cons.
You don't have to use the original accessories, but may buy many special items from China. I have bought carbon clamps to hold my, original titanium struts on my Lightweight, as the original metal ones actually weighs a lot!
Hi thanks for the video. At the end you say that you are not happy about the rain. Does that mean you cannot ride the electric Brompton in the rain? Also in one of your videos I saw some orange wheels on the rack which make it easy to roll in different directions please tell me the name of the wheels or which video you install them in so I can get some. Thank you :)
Please would you make a video on installing the rear rack on an electric Brompton? Thank you.
Great video - as always :-) just got the EZ Clamp springs, an invisible but very nice little upgrade (Brompton should consider making a deal with the developer and make it a standard component)...
that's a neat product, thanks for mentioning it
Where can I buy an EZ Clamp?
Saddle and grips were the first thing to get swapped on my electric. Had a B17 and Brooks GP1s spare, so on they went.
Think its going to be JK low rise bar next, not happy with the vague M bar feeling after so many years on S bikes
I may fit my B17 on it as well!
My B17 "World Traveler" was the first thing to go on my electric B, from my old M6, shortly followed by Ergon grips. (and I turn the seat bracket upside to get extra height on a standard seat pole - perfect)
Accesorios que te hacen la vida más fácil
Absolutely!
just curious, you had a Jan video on the non-electric and installed a GOrack, and said you'd bin the brompton rack, may i ask why you've changed your mind since getting the electric and you've reverted your favourite to the Brompton rack as opposed to the GoRack?
The rear rack bag you clicked on but didn't discuss looks great! My heels clip low hanging cargo so is there more on that bag that sits above the rack please?
Yes, I talk about it on this video (after 6m27s): ruclips.net/video/DNvuMouYy-Y/видео.html
Love your videos. I would love to get ahold of the EZ Clamp Springs. Do you know where they can be purchased in the United States?
They're only sold straight from the manufacturer in the UK. Shipping is about 5 usd and gets here in about 2 weeks. Not bad!
Does the Brompton electric not come with the standard front bag mounting block?
At 6:51 what is that under the rear bag that clips to the rack? Is it part of the rack or separate?
Great video. Maybe a bigger foot on the kick stand would also help. Just a thought. Regards Northern Ireland..
It would. If I find a way to make the foot bigger without having to weld anything, I may do that too.
Hey Victor, what Klickfix adapter did you use for the lunch bag? Cheers!xx

I also would like to know. I've searched on their website and haven't found it.
Can you help us, @Everyday Cycling?
Is there a way to attach a ‘double kick stand’? Also, the bag that you use for groceries, do both sides open into a panniers or jus the one side? That you for the videos.
I put a similar kickstand on and it’s stable even with loaded bags. I dunno maybe there’s lots of variance in them. That and if I did want it a little longer I’d probably put a rubber ferrule on the end or something
Is it the same brand? I think there are better brands out there for 3-4x the cost. This one was $20.
@@EverydayCycling different brand (“snowinspring”) but pretty much the same thing, was £18 on Amazon. Seems to be many brands with the same item. Must either all be from the same OEM or they’re all clones of each other
I did mod it a little bit: cut the top of the mount into a V shape to fit around the bottom of the rack struts so I could take the wheel off more easily
Can you please do a video on how you can carry a dog riding a Brompton? Thanks! ( rear and front)
Can you tell me what that rear bag and clip system is?
Nice video Victor thank you, I've added a rear rack to my electric but a bit stuck on moving the rear light as it is connected to the battery, how did you do yours? cheers Dave
Hi Dave, what's the problem you're facing? I just cut the zipties that attach the rear light cable to the seat stay and unscrewed the light. Then the light came off with 10in (25cm) of cable, enough to route up the rack stay to the rear portion of the rack.
@@EverydayCycling Hi the rear light is wired into the battery/hub and I cant see the cable extending along the rack unless I splice it. just wondering how you did yours.
@@bigphatphotos5028 can you send me a picture of the right side of your rear triangle? I want to see how your rear light cable routing is done. I assume it is the same as mine, so you shouldn't have run into issues. I didn't cover it in the video because it was straight forward to switch positions. Please send it to victorsabioni@gmail.com
One of the catches on my Vincita Nash rack bag is broken how can I replace it
which brompton bag are you using in the video? How many liters is it?
Where can I get one of those bags that clips onto the rear rack?
Hello what is the size of your caster omnia wheels?
My Dahon has a kickstand. And he same problem occurs if you move the front wheel and it topples over.
Hi Victor, the Ezwheel extender u used will it cause heel strike when riding? tks
Not when retracted. You obviously have to push it in when riding the bike.
The mirror will touch the ground after installation in H6L model. The only solution is to upgrade from L to R. Even when you demonstrate folding handlebar with mirror it’s with rack installed.
Hello, for a brompton electric which easy wheels are you using? and can you put the bar extender and the easy wheels without a rack?
The bar extender works with any Brommy AFAIK. The rear wheel assembly is the same in all cases.
Hi there , i enjoy your video , it gives good ideas , i am intrested to buy à Brompton bike... they say not more than 100 kg total ... is it true by your experience... i am 84 kg and i want to do some cycling touring ... in total it will be a little more than 100 kg... thank you for your time !!! Sincerely yours Luc
Does it have a magnetic catcher?
Hi, what would you recommend as a rear rack ? The one from Brompton or from another distributor ? Thanks
A non Brompton rear rack VOID warranty.
His electric Brompton is within 7 years warranty - that the reason he use Brompton Rear Rack , not the GoRack on another video
Do the accessories you put on there add a lot of weight to the bike? Do you think the bike is light enough to ride without the battery?
Nothing shown should add more than a few ounces put together. I have ridden an e-Brommy and the motor alone without the battery adds a few pounds to the front and noticeably unbalances it when lifting the bike one-handed but not when riding. Based on my personal experience test riding an e-Brompton at the Brompton Junction in New York I would not recommend it.
This is a smaller, more convenient mirror for the Brompton: CatEye BM-45 Bar End Bike Mirror (£12.99) - fitting is the same as the one shown in this video. I been using it on my Brompton for 3 years. It has a very stiff ball-joint between the mount and the mirror to allow for precise positioning. If you knock it in transit it will move, if you wack it really hard (against a doorway for instance, it will 'pop off' and it's an effort to 'pop it' back on). There's no distortion, vibration or magnification. It sticks out about 2", doesn't effect "the fold" (I'm from the UK, we drive on the left, so it's on the right - non-floor-side when folded) Get one, it will make your cycling safer... at a glance, it'll let you see if it's a truck, bus, or car that's coming up behind you and trying to squash to into the gutter...
Thanks for sharing! The main problem I see is that I use the mirror on the other side, i.e. bar end is 1 inch from the ground... =/ would it work?
@@EverydayCycling I just checked, and it may not... (I've just corrected my comment) Without actually fitting it to 'your' side I couldn't say for sure, but it's movable by hand, you may be able to rotate (close it) it out of the way so it doesn't strike the ground...
Oh, and thanks for you content and videos, they're very informative and watchable (from the UK at 3am...)
@@EverydayCycling here's a link to show you the size: ruclips.net/video/eG9RKO8bB2c/видео.html&ab_channel=PushReset
The one objection I would have to that mirror is it adds 2"/5cm to the width of the bike, which can make it hard to fit in some tight spaces if you ride in very dense urban environments. (Nonetheless I have added it to my Amazon wishlist.)
Nice work and info, thanks. Never purchased from AliExpress...is it safe?
Also, did you wait a long time for delivery from AliExpress? TIA
It's pretty safe. Just make sure the seller has a good reputation. The link I put in the description is exactly the item I purchased. It took three weeks, with Christmas and New Years in the middle, so it shouldn't take longer than that.
@@EverydayCycling thanks for the comeback and you’ve motivated me to add this to our 2 Bromptons. Film at 11....(or in April when they say they’ll arrive)
@@Gogogordy1 It shouldn't take that long, they're probably giving a longer estimate to avoid complaints.
The easy clamps may also be bought from AliExpress in a - better version with an internal metal spring, which I favor. And the small wheels are useless on anything but a very flat surface. I use larger wheels, lately I have ordered a 10 cm wheel size. And why a kickstand, when you are able to just fold the backframe, as a stand! Without the bag, of course.
He wants the kickstand so he can leave luggage on the rack yet keep it upright without riding it. He said this in the video.
Can the rear mirror be installed on the right side of the handlebar? Will it affect the folding?
It should work just fine since the Brommy folds it's handlebars to the outside of the frame.
What about bag holder just under the seat? But not on seatpost.
am I the only one waiting for my name to come up but didn't? 😢😂 great content as usual!
