Just to say Thanks! for this video and all the others you've made. I'm a brand-new (four days) Brompton owner and have learned more from watching your videos than I have from riding so far. Then again, it has been raining for a few days... Don from Victoria, BC, Canada.
Hi Donald Grimwood I'm glad you like them! Love to share the things I've learn. Congrats for your new Brompton Greetings to Victoria Canada Nice to have you on board!
Chris, I am glad to see your video again! I got my brompton clashed and my original rack was blent. I trired days to blent it back, but still it's blent. I am glad that I see this video, then I think: Why don't I just give myself a chance to a light-weight rack instead of the original one :) Just ordered one during black friday. I hope everything will be fine with the new rack, and I hope it is not the problem of the body frame.
A must Chris for brompton owners who don't want the heavy rear rack! I got the aluminium and the titanium, titanium weighs next to nothing, plus eazy wheel extender makes rolling it so much better, think they are called a mini Q Rack for brompton. A defo must have !!
Hi Restu Fajar Anggrianwan I always thought that Titanium would be lighter, but H&H triangle Racks, the aluminum is lighter then Titanium. And much cheaper 😊👍🏻
I have lately found an AceOffix rack, black of course, as my bike is a Black Version, Lightweight. And - years ago I changed my easywheel on the mudguard to a larger double wheel, which of course are without any purpose, if you use a rack! A Brompton rack is normally intended for use with easy wheels on it, either in- or outside.
How did you fit the rear light reflector after you put in the h rack? I bought my to a bike shop to install the rack, but they couldn’t fit the rear reflector back. Also I still have the rear mudguard. Maybe I need to take off the rear mudguard to fit in the rear reflector?
Hi Vincent Sorry for the delay in answering. I had to check out on the Brompton to see how it was done. My reflector is place right before the stop disk. On this week's video, about a Carbon stopdisk update, you can see closer the way it is fix. Nice to have you on board!
Is a rack necessary if one uses an extender and easy wheels, and replace the single small wheel that comes fitted on the fender with a double wheel fitting instead?
For me, having Fenders is about protecting from mud and dirt, rather than water. I'm hoping I don't need a rear rack once my easy wheel extender arrives.
Hi Graemeelliott Fenders are fantastic for commute riders. They protect our clothes. I never use my Brompton on rainy days, and love the clean look of no fenders. But, if I would use it for commute, for sure it would have fenders. Nice to have you on board!
That was a useful video Chris. I've been looking into doing just that plus removing my fenders. The Brommie will look much neater, weigh less and mine does not go out in the rain if possible.
Hi Michael Hutton I'm glad you like it. The H&H fenders is a great choice, light and very strong. If posible install the EasyWheel Extender. It makes the Brompton more stable. Nice to have you on board!
As living in Denmark, I don't like getting "The Brompton Stripe" up my back, when it rains, so I'm sure most bikes here are sold with mudguards. I have bought some titanium brackets for the mudguard struts (from titanium), to make it lighter. And also I have two, titanium racks for it, a short and a little longer version.
Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen I wonder if instead of the rear fender, if we put a piece of plastic covering the rack, it would protect the rider from a Brompton stripe 🤔
Hi Chris, quick question: Do you think I can use a vincita nashrack bag on this rack? Or do I need to get the longer and straighter brompton rack? Thank you, have a great day!
Hi Ruben FRS I don't think you can. This rack has a triangle shape, and Vincita is a retangle shape. This rack is very useful to push your Brompton when folded. It's not as good as the Original Brompton rack to carry bags and objects. Nice to have you on board!
I bought a cheaper version of this rack, no brand, it was difficult to install and I had to take the reflector out, which is not a problem but I wish brompton introduce a lighter small version. thanks for the nice video
Hi TM H&H is a very good brand and have great accessories for Brompton. It would be a great idea if Brompton would make a smaller and lighter Rack. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Chris thank you for the video, my bike has the fenders but i want to take them off, here in California hardly rains, anyway i want to installed the little rack and I do not know how to do it. How many Kask mojitos do you have? Thank you!
Hi Evelyn Vega The fenders are great for places that have a lot of rain or if you use your Brompton for commute. You will love your Brompton without fenders, it gets much lighter. I have 2 Kask Mojitos. A all white and a white with pink. They are great a light helmets. Easy to use a cap underneath and a ponytail 😊 Like them very much. Greetings to California. Love the bike path in the middle of the beach. So cool. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Hi Michael Thanks, I'll look for better ones, and check if H&H is back in Amazon. I like to recommend the things I use, but some times they are not on the market anymore 😔 Some times I correct the new links, but all the videos that are made earlier are not correct. I'm hoping for more subscribers for Amazon let me have my own page. This way it will always be updated. Merry Christmas! 🎄🌟🎁

What kind of rear bags or panniers are you able to use with the rack? I bought the same one as you recommended, and I love how it looks! I would like to have an extra storage to carry things around. If you have any ideas, let me know! Thanks a lot! 🙂👍
Hi Wezie When I travel with my Brompton, I use the T-Bag on front and a very nice saddle bag. In my case I've chosen a small for daily use and a medium for traveling. I thing is a lot better them panniers and it is possible to fold the Brompton with them attached. Look for a waterproof one. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Hi Kenneth Lee There was one time that I've taken my Brompton to a store whash and the rack was a bit off center. Easy fix. I like it a lot and it doesn't give me any problems. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Hi Chris, this is something I really like. My Brompton is about 17 years old and never wanted the rack because of its weight. Ik do have and need fenders as I live in the Netherlands. Two questions: Does this work with fenders? Does it work on an older type Brommie. I have even broader "wheels" which don't even roll🤣 Thanks for your nice vids from the Netherlands
Hi Ria W This rack is very nice and much lighter than original Brompton rack. But it is good to look for the rack specifications that you choose to buy, and see if it works on your Brompton. And with fenders Greetings to Netherland! Nice to have you on board!
Hi Chak Beh My Kickstand is a Kickstand Multi-s Brompton that I've bought at Imperium Cycle You can find similar ones Similar in Amazon US - amzn.to/3nkrdw8 Similar in Amazon UK - amzn.to/3aZllUw or - amzn.to/3hqjLxi Similar in Amazon SG - amzn.to/3tw4v7J Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Wan to remove the original rack. Do I just buy the V-Rack that you have and use the wheels from the old one? I might put on the telescope easy wheels (for your link). Also I have the DYNAMO version with lamps. Can I put the back lamp on the rack. Or where you put the reflector back (how many scruves do you have to the back reflex?
Hi The Office Cyclist To use the same wheels you have to check if the Screws are the same size. If they are, you can use the same wheels. The extension EasyWheel is a great help, it makes life much easier. Check to see if the one you buying is for your Brompton model. I couldn't tell about the dynamo. But if you are lucky to have a Brompton store near you (the nearest for me is 500km) or a good bike shop they can figure a way to fix your dynamo. But is better to check it up before buying the upgrades. Nice to have you on board!
@@ChrisbyBike With a dynamo it is possible to add a light in back also, with a wire for it. But In Denmark, for its mostly rather cold climate (If it wasn't for our local, warm "Golf Stream" in the ocean outside, we would be a Polar Country!), we at least have very long days during summer! I think for each 100 km You go North, the days become 10 minutes longer, till you reach the "Polar Circle", where at least one day is all day, once a year! On the bad side, they have all night during winter! ☹
Nice video Chris. After watching this one, I'm going to remove my fenders and order a small rack. There are quite a few companies offering similar racks to the H&H. Would you know if the quality of them are adequate? Also, I believe I have to buy a different front wheel hook. Is this correct? Keep making videos. Thanks from Vancouver, Canada.
Hi Harry Pressman If you do not use your Brompton for commute, it is a great choice to take the fenders out. Your Brompton will be much lighter and cleaner. H&H is a great brand, my rack is in perfect condition, beside some scratches. I don't know about the quality of other brands, sorry. Yes, you need a new hook for the front wheel. The hook for the fenders has a long wire that is not needed without fenders. Greetings to Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 Nice to have you on board!
Hi Reggie Bigornia No problems at all. They are attached to different parts of the frame. One does not touch the other. I'm very happy with both upgrades. Nice to have you on board!
I have both a long and a - short version of, of course: Titanium Racks for my "Lightweight", with a titanium fork and back, sadly in the ordinary metal-versions and not in black, as the rest of my bike. And I have a set of also ordinary mudguards below it, as I don't like the notorious "Brompton Stripe" up my back, living in the much more rainy and cold Denmark. But I have just found and bought a "double holder", for my - now - titanium bolt on the stem, for both an Action Camera and a spedometer/navigator/phone, at the same time. I may also need a lamp to be able to avoid the Icebears, the many reindeers and wolves, roaming the Danish streets. After all "Santa Claus" comes from Denmark, and not from the fraudulent Finns. He has a Postbox on Danish Greenland, for the nicely behaved children to write to!
Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen To ride in Denmark is a great adventure, you need all the equipment you can get 🤣👍🏻😊 Great to have a mount that can hold more than one gadget. What's the difference in weight from Titanium Brompton and normal Brompton?
@@ChrisbyBike I think around 2 kilos, but the main weight is the frame, which is still made from steel. But my fork and the down svinging backframe is made from titanium, as also the struts for the mudguards!! And for some absolutely absurd reason, they have also "weight-saved" the small piece of wire, on the backframe, being able to hold the special "Brompton pump"! I don't think that Brompton is able to produce the titanium parts themselves, so they have to buy from an outside firm. On top of that I have changed my "crank" to a titanium one, with "ceramic balls", for an easier ride and I have also found some new "titanium cams" for the two outside cams, on my 6 speed hub in the back - and also for the front, with a different number of teeth, for an eventual higher speed on a flat road. I also have titanium cams for the "original gearing", as a safety! As I intend to bring it to Malta, in a very hilly area around our "Danish (owned) Village" in Mellieha (built on a former English Military Base area, after the Maltese Independence, and planned and made by a well known, Danish Architect, who also built the, still existing set for the Disney, "Popeye Movie" close by!), I have bought a 6 speed bike, to be able to crawl up the very narrow serpentine roads close by our "summerhouse area", by "The finest sand-beach" on Malta!!! As coming from Rio, You definitely won't be impressed, but for rocky Malta it is special ;-). Finn
Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen The ceramics balls are fantastic. I have them in my Road Bike wheels, it makes a big difference. 👍🏻😊 The Malta trip will be very interesting, beautiful island. One thing that helps me a lot for uphills is the 44T on front. Hope you have a great trip 👍🏻😊
