Brilliant Bikes I’ve recently bought 2 x sets of these lightweight pedals from you, one set for my 2023 CHPT3 Brompton and the other for my older 2018 CHPT3. They were really easy to fit and are a comfy foot position. My bikes are now even more nimble. Thank you for stocking them 👍
Great video. I would suggest anti seize compound, not grease, for the pedal threads when installing to the cranks. Grease would be ok, but the general rule with bikes is to use anti seize compound for things very rarely taken apart (so bottom bracket, headsets too).
Another fantastically quirky and fascinating piece of Brompton engineering. The pedal mounts behind the brake? Another one for John Cleese. How wonderful this company exists and keeps doing such strange and unique things.
I've got a Birthday next month and each year my wife get's a bit short with me when I tell her I don't want anything. This year we've both got places in the BWC so I've sent her a link to these pedals in your shop. " Graham " my 2019 CHPT3 will be sporting a pair of these 😎
Thanks for that. I'd like to see how the pedal is released from its "storage" position and how secure it is. Whilst I like the idea behind the engineering, I don't think the 100g saving warrants the worry of potentially losing a pedal from its "sticky-outy" storage position. Call me cynical, but I think there's going to be a demand for non drive side removable pedals (pedal only, not crank mounted receptor)..
So far so good and not lost! It’s just a magnet. Let’s let’s see how it last! On value I dot think it’s too bad considering a standard set of pedals is £66
Superb video again, thank you! I've had a standard folding pedal bearing give up in the past, these seem to be not only lighter but I'd be interested to see if they have a longer service life because of the design differences. Happy Easter to you all!
That's some excellent ventriloquism (is that a word?) at 3m16s! I was kind of hoping they'd have used the MKS Ezy system for these (for compatibility's sake), but I see they've gone a different route. Any thoughts on how their release mechanism compares to the MKS one? I had an MKS pedal fall out just after I set off once (which was a very quick way to reach the tarmac, hard), but it was my fault as I was thinking about something else when I fitted the pedal and didn't get the twisty collar seated properly. I think Brompton's pedal holder looks a bit more practical than the MKS one. Cunning.
Very good video as usual, thank you. I'd like to know the dimensions of the foot plate of the pedals to compare with the original Brompton pedals. All the quick release options seem to be shorter, especially as they stick out from the bicycle.
If there was a SPD version then I’d be interested otherwise no. I shall stick with my Shimano XTR pedals. It’s a tiny inconvenience to have the non drive side pedal sticking out when folded.
I agree. I reckon Brompton engineers missed a trick here. They could have made a one sided SPD, which wouldn’t have reduced the versatility of the bike, but would also have satisfied those of us who are used to being clipped in and powering through the full cycle. Like you, I use Shimano MTB pedals with the (small) inconvenience of a pedal sticking out on the non-drive side when folded.
Hello, Interesting modification... Thanks for sharing. I like that you use the torque wrench most of the time, so many people do parts up far to tight. Is there somewhere I can get all the recommended torque settings for all the Brompton component part. Take care. Paul,,
I've just bought these and had them fitted at your shop. The fixed pedal seems rather stiff. It doesn't spin very freely. Can it be loosened so to rotate easier, or is it a faulty pedal?
Having both quick release would of been better one thinks , not at all trying to peddle my idea being in competition with Brompton’s ideas, should we have a song = I think we should = Life Is Heavy = Topshelf Mexican.
05:44 Do I spy a hairline scratch on the red paint already? I’d’ve thought Brompton would’ve included these pedals in the already high price of the Chpt3 / T-Line rather than make them extras, especially as they’re marketing brags about their light weights. Also, isn’t that Turkish Green plastic cover over the chain pusher mechanism supposed to be removed from the bike?
Hi H thanks for the video...... i am currently using Tiworkshop QR pedals.. but it got STUCK on the crank!!! i wonder if you guys know a way to remove it I wonder if Brompton's version will get stuck after cycling on a very dusty and dirty road.....
@@brilliantbikes Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that my bike is literally 10 years old. I bought it new in 2012. It has been completely re-built and re-configured several times over the years. I have no idea if anything about the brakes are original! I'm taking it into Brompton Covent Garden for a service next month, so I'll just ask them about compatibility with the superlight pedals, although it seems they no longer sell them.
Was able to get a 2nd hand pair but did not come with the holder haha anyone knows if the QR pedal fits on those thirdparty holders meant for MKS QR pedals?
The pedals will fit the cranks, but the adapter to hold the removable pedal at the back of the fork will more work on the older fork / brake style Thanks for watching!
Here you go: brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-pedals/5424-brompton-superlight-quick-release-pedals.html?search_query=Superlight&results=41 Thanks for the question
It looks like the pedal holder needs a brake with a recessed bolt… Not the kind that is held on by a Nyloc nut. Looks like I’ve saved money if not weight 😂 (mine’s a 2009 S6L)
Epic timing. I was just thinking about lightening the peddles. It seems the RH non-folding superlight peddle is not really lighter than its regular counterpart, so it would seem to be only necessary to replace the LH, folding, one and save yourself the work on replacing both.
Here’s a link to the product brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-pedals/5424-brompton-superlight-quick-release-pedals.html?search_query=Superlight&results=41 We generally stay away from the price due to different countries
Ya wan't super light pedals? Then Ti Parts titanium pedals are your real one's.167 grams, giving you nearly 250 grams weight saving. You need small feet though. There is nothing super light about Brompton, unless you drop 4 big one's on a T line.
@@brilliantbikes Just Google Ti parts and you should find the link. I'm over 100kg and have big feet so I'll make do and mend with my 2 speed, unvarnished with lighter goodies.

Some of there upgrade are quite late compared to third party company to be honest.

I just fast forward to the bloopers, much more fun than watching the proper video. Good one as always 😂.
They look good. Love the funny bits on the end.
Thank you!
Very easy and clear how they install and work. Good video
Thank you for watching!
@@brilliantbikes 😎👍🏼
Man, I want one of those torque wrenches!
Such a great informative/helpful video, thanks!
Many thanks for watching, glad it was useful!
@@brilliantbikes How do you like these pedals compared to lightweight aftermarket pedals?
“Stave” …. 😂😂😂😂
Think our Han needs a coffee ☕️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup! I probably do! Thanks for watching!
Superb video again, thank you!

Happy Easter to you too!
Thanks for watching and the new pedals feel like they are a nice quality! So fingers crossed!
When I want a lighter Brompton I just take the change out of my pockets and drop a number 2 in the loo, thats 400 grams saved.......... ;o))
😂🤣
Another informative and useful video. Was wondering if you've added carbon handle bars yet as a weight saving feature..?
Many thanks for watching and for the suggestion! We are not convinced by the strength of the narrower handle bars when made is carbon.
Great video - loved the look of these pedals - but £100 !!!!!! Bit steep - have to start saving my pennies.
£100 quid ??? NO !!

Great video (as usual). Would these pedals fit on a 2014 Brompton with mud guards? Thank you
I've installed the mount for the removable pedal, but it is still going to be safely stored at all times in my Brompton saddle pouch
I was amazed how well it stays put, but time will tell…….
Just like a certain supermarket....
Every little helps
In weight saving it does!
We should have some more weight savings coming soon ish!
Very good video as usual, thank you. I'd like to know the dimensions of the foot plate of the pedals to compare with the original Brompton pedals. All the quick release options seem to be shorter, especially as they stick out from the bicycle.
For the Pedal holder installation to the fork, what is the torque? Any difference in torque for different fork materials (steel, titanium, carbon)?
If there was a SPD version then I’d be interested otherwise no. I shall stick with my Shimano XTR pedals. It’s a tiny inconvenience to have the non drive side pedal sticking out when folded.

Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks for watching and for the question! We have a poster in the shop with the torque settings on it. I’ll take a photo and upload it to Instagram
@@brilliantbikes Thank you.
Thank you, can you tell if the parked pedal would interfere with bag mounted in shopping configuration?
Many thanks for the question. It will be fine.
Hi,
In a previous video, I heard you say that the new A line Brompton has plastic pedals. Are these removable pedals lighter than the plastic paddle?
Nice, but the cost is surely better spent on a titanium seat-post and lighter seat, those being the best weight-saving mods.
Is there any SPD pedals available with QR mechanism?
Sorry, just the flat version. Many thanks for watching!
There is spd in the mks brand. I think Brompton take the idea from the mks
I've just bought these and had them fitted at your shop. The fixed pedal seems rather stiff. It doesn't spin very freely. Can it be loosened so to rotate easier, or is it a faulty pedal?
Do the super light pedals come in silver too?
Thanks for watching - and the great question
No - the super light pedals currently only come in black
Thank you so much for the video. Is it possible to order the product? I live in hungary. Also will it cost any customs fee while I order it?
Having both quick release would of been better one thinks , not at all trying to peddle my idea being in competition with Brompton’s ideas, should we have a song = I think we should = Life Is Heavy = Topshelf Mexican.
Are these available in the US? They don't appear on the US Website. Does this fit a 2013 M6R?
Excellent video but - oh, dear more choice anxiety 😢. These or the SKS Compact? Aargh!
Any chance of a side-by-side comparison please?
Great idea! I really like the Brompton Superlight pedals, a bit better grip than the SKS.
Thanks for watching!
Do these fit MKS EZY connectors? Curious if one of the aftermarket pedal holders for MKS style pedals can hold this one.
Thanks for the question and watching
To be honest we’re not sure (and we haven’t tried - yet)
Thanks for the reply. If you have a bike with MKS pedals around do you think you could give it a try?
Surely the left pedal should be lefty tighty not lefty loosey? I'm sure you'll be able to think of a good alliteration for lefty tighty 🙂
Will the bracket(pedal holder)fit even if I have the Brompton Cateye mouted to the front mudguards?
Yes, the pedal bracket is at the rear of the brake, the Cateye mount is at the front. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for the question and for watching!
Standard pedals are so cumbersome.
05:44 Do I spy a hairline scratch on the red paint already?
I’d’ve thought Brompton would’ve included these pedals in the already high price of the Chpt3 / T-Line rather than make them extras, especially as they’re marketing brags about their light weights.
Also, isn’t that Turkish Green plastic cover over the chain pusher mechanism supposed to be removed from the bike?
Nice pedals but why to want to save 100 gr and the risk to loose the pedal 🙃
They seem very well a affixed in the holder!
Hi H
thanks for the video......
i am currently using Tiworkshop QR pedals.. but it got STUCK on the crank!!!
i wonder if you guys know a way to remove it
I wonder if Brompton's version will get stuck after cycling on a very dusty and dirty road.....
Hi I like your video. But there any video that talk only about t line?
Not yet. As soon as we have one, we will make a video on it!
@@brilliantbikes okie I’ll look forward to your video. Thank you.
Will these work on my 10 year old S-type Brompton? Happy to put the removed pedal in a bag, if the magnetic mount doesn't work on the S-type.
It may work, that was the year they were changing to the newer style. What brake calibres do you have?
@@brilliantbikes Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that my bike is literally 10 years old. I bought it new in 2012. It has been completely re-built and re-configured several times over the years.

I'm taking it into Brompton Covent Garden for a service next month, so I'll just ask them about compatibility with the superlight pedals, although it seems they no longer sell them.
Is the Brompton C line bike be suitable for heavy riders ( example : 122kg )?
Many thanks for the question. The recommended upper weight limit is 110kg
Was able to get a 2nd hand pair but did not come with the holder haha anyone knows if the QR pedal fits on those thirdparty holders meant for MKS QR pedals?
They are different holders (on the pedal) from MKS - but the holder for the removable one is available separately
@@brilliantbikes oh okay, i hope i can buy it in my country 🤔 do you have it? I cant seem to find it in your website
Where did you get that chain stay protector in the matching CHPT3 colour? 😍
We were lucky it came with the bike
Are they not just colour coded packaging?
I wish you show us how badly they spin (or rather they DON'T spin at all)
The lack of spinning is expected from a higher quality pedal which is well greased. It is not a bad thing!
does this work on 2015 bromptons?
The pedals will fit the cranks, but the adapter to hold the removable pedal at the back of the fork will more work on the older fork / brake style
Thanks for watching!

Will these fit on a 2006 superlight?
Yes, but it depends on the brake, held ones you can’t use the pedal adapter in the rear of the front brake. Thanks for watching!
@brilliantbikes thanks so much for the reply! Although I'm not sure what you mean by "held ones".
It looks like the pedal holder needs a brake with a recessed bolt… Not the kind that is held on by a Nyloc nut. Looks like I’ve saved money if not weight 😂 (mine’s a 2009 S6L)
does one know if there is a spd equivalnt ?
Sorry not yet! Fingers crossed!

You do realise those are the out takes? 🙂
Many thanks!!!
11.8Nm ?
Why not 12 or 11?
Most bike torque wrenches are not that accurate.
Those pedals look a right faff. Folding is much more simple.
100 grams vs $100 :/
Ah a £ a g not to bad I guess 😀
With my luck I would lose that pedal in matter of days 😅
It is strangely well magnetised in!
I can't get these suckers out!
And all for £100 or a quid per gram saving.
sorry, but I don't see any added value in saving 100 grams. I'd rather leave out the bar of chocolate and save a lot of money for it.
You can buy a lot of chocolate with the money saved.
