I moved away from Denver…..channel update.
I moved a way from Denver…. Mainly to help family and partially because of how much it cost to live there. In This video we discuss where I’ve been and what’s in store for the future.

    Just watched a few of your videos mainly because here in the UK, I've had multiple Bromptons over the years and just bought the G Line last week. So everything Brompton is dropping into my feed. I like the earthy style of your channel and the video work looked really good with the drone and cuts to bike shots and back again - some nice professional looking continuity and videography. I hope you get your life stuff sorted well - these things are sent to try us - as they say. Look forward to more creative content once you are back into the groove.

    This is the same argument people have been having ever since disc brakes came out. You are not seriously going to compare idisc brakes and v-brakes in wet conditions are you? (The guy making the comment, not you). Disc are not more complicated, just different, get over the "complicated" routine, they're just different. They aren't going ANYWHERE!!! The car didn't stop replacing the horse. The TV didn't stop replacing the radio. Disc brakes are not going to stop replacing rim brakes. Get over it. The electric car will not stop replacing the gas car. EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE even if you don't want it to. Get over it, you can't stop it. Even big box stores are selling more and more disc brakes, it's just the way it's going, learn to live with it or just be a grumpy old man about it, quite frankly, YOU'RE not going to be able to stop it just because you don't like it.

    Perhaps it's precisely the relatively high profile case of your being a Brompton content creator that makes endorsing a warranty claim especially risky for them - it sets a public precedent that others may look to...

    I’m curious,is the bike not worth repairing? Why replace the bike over a $300 at most part? I would think that rear triangle replacement would make great content for this channel.

    Good report, with some great observations. I just ordered a D3 Pro. I will get a cable lock that I can thread through the frame, saddle, and a policeman (!) so carrying the seat around is not required.

  • @david78212
    @david78212 13 днів тому

    Yeah I can understand why they didn't approve it also. Touring on a Brompton is WAY beyond any use that a Brompton is meant for. They are OUTSTANDING in multi mode travel/commute and nothing even comes close. The only thing that does a better job is living closer to work so you can ride a bike the entire way. That being said, a trailer is part of the weight the bike can handle? That really doesn't make much sense, and that was just what Brompton really needed to deny the claim... along with the warranty not being registered. If you went by the "use" policy of any bike, it would never be used.

  • @david78212
    @david78212 15 днів тому

    One thing you need to be extremely cautious of is stolen used bikes. One of the biggest tells that you are buying a stolen bike is weird prices, the next tell that it’s a stolen bike is that they don’t know hardly anything about the bike. The less they seem to know, the more likely that it’s stolen. I just sold a bike that was in “excellent” condition… I had only ridden it about four times. I’ve got another bike that I use and I’m getting ready to depart on my sailboat and ended up not needing it. A used bike is a coin flip at the very least. Be prepared to take it to a bike shop.

    Welcome back, dood. As a Brompton owner in NKY, I can tell you: 1) You RARELY see a Brompton. Seriously, hardly ever. 2) Do your own repairs/maintenance because most bike shops have never seen one and are clueless about them (unfortunately, even the local "dealer").

    Great to see you again Brian. I have to say Indiana looks far less manic and far safer as a cyclist. Denver certainly had a buzz about it but it did look as though you took your life in your hands every time you went out. Busy roads, cyclists, joggers etc. This video looked so much quieter. Big change but hopefully things will work out well for you and the family. Good luck in finding a home that's perfect for you.
