Hi Terry, just subscribed after finding you whilst watching Rizal's channel. Love the idea of this excursion, likely to be one I will complete in the near future. Looking forward to following your vlogs. Happy cycling. Mal.

Thanks for this! I would never have realised there was a rotation direction without watching this, and the trick of pushing the beading into the deep part was very useful

That looks a good solution for mains electrics. The wire that runs to the circuit breaker/ sockets will be hidden, I guess? If it is, is it worth running it in some ducting? I'm not an electrician but have wired my own house, getting a qualified guy to inspect my work and sign it off. Apart from one socket that had a poor earth it was OK. When the van is a camper will you have to change the paperwork? Thanks for the latest on the van, hope filming isn't slowing progress too much.

me with my 2 months continental and allready having a flat being convinced that the continental was bad

Great record of your trip Terry. Second time I've watched this in fact 👍 What rack do you use on your Brompton. I'm looking to buy one for my own C-Line 👍 Thanks and keep up the camping videos, I really enjoy them 🙂

The new G-line which has 20" wheels will come in Small, Medium, and Large.

You know I wonder if the fasteners on these are metric, SAE, or Whitworth?

Offroad 16-inch tires exist. I'd finally worn my Burley trailer tires down to where they must have been paper thin, and found a pair of tires in a local bike shop, semi-knobby, like you'd find on a mountain bike these days. And they only cost me $15 each. Now, if I get a Brompton A-line which I'm seriously considering, I might take the stupid "bald" tires off of it and put 'em on my trailer and put the semi-knobbies on the Brompton, or I might put Schwalbe Marathons on the Brompton and donate the "bald" tires to my local bike clinic.

I like to use a product called "slime" in my bike tubes. It essentially self-heals most punctures. So that's a possibility also if you can get it. It's kind of yukky when you eventually need to change out the tube, but it's a small matter to clean up the inside of the tire. It does add some weight though if you're a weight fanatic.

Hopefully you've found a permanent fix. I've no real experience of fixing leaks on camper conversions but have had a fair bit on boats and houses. What I've found is that sometimes the fix isn't long lasting. Ageing of the sealant plus expansion and contraction and in the case of boats, movement. I discovered that non-setting mastics worked far better. Glad you haven't had to try getting the window out! Do you think the shape of the glass and the shape of the van were far enough out to cause the gaps? Maybe the professionals put pressure on the glass to squash it harder against the sealer?

Does the kit used for packing around the bike get damaged? It looks quite vulnerable to movement and potential abuse.

Great video again i know whos doing my windows on next van 😂 My door window leaked in the same place all i did was put clear CT1 sealant around the top been fine for the last 5 years since

Great video terry bromptons now vans call your self a professional

Excellent Video👌👌👌 Thank you very, very much ! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

It always looks easy when you look on UA-cam Terry. The problem is getting the window out without breaking it. Unless you can seal from outside. But how long will that last. Like everything they never give you any extra to do the job bare minimum

I didn't expect that. Strange it leaked as I'm sure you used plenty of sealant. It may be possible to seal it in situ but my hunch is to fix it properly you'd have to remove it and try again with more sealant. I wonder if you could soften the glue with a heat gun, low setting and keep it moving? Then remove the window, clean off any sealant and have another go. I remember when I fitted a sun roof to a car back in the 80's I took a deep breath when slicing into the roof panel. I'm sure you'll find a solution, you seem like a practical chap. Good luck.

HI , where did you buy the packs of Celotex from ?

Hi Terry I want to purchase a rack for my C-line Brompton but am unsure of the best option to go for. Would you mind doing a review of the rack and Easy-wheels on your bike to see if they'd be a good option for me? Many thanks and keep up the videos 👍 Mark

That sounds like a nice project. We've thought about getting one several times but always ruled it out as we really only want to run one vehicle, plus I don't like driving that much. I've seen a lot of converted vans from the really poor to ones that have been first class. One, converted from a builders van (VW) to a really luxury campervan. He works as a car sprayer so had access to all the kit needed. Thanks for the video, looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Plenty of space for a couple of Bromptons in there son :-D

The bike looks awesome ! Is there a video if that coloring brompton ?

Very useful! I have watched the videos which Brilliant Bikes do which are also very helpful, but one thing they didn't show was turning the cylinder bit over, though I'd read that you could do that. I'm just fitting a Brooks B67 onto my Brompton, having removed it from one of the other 2 bikes I have, one which I don't ride so much. I actually feel sad removing it but can't afford to buy a 3rd Brooks!

I was considering these tires for my MTB. I ride roads, streets, bike paths, and hardpack gravel/dirt mostly. I was looking for something with good puncture protection and low rolling resistance. Conti's Contact Urban comes in a lot of sizes too.

Fantastic job 👍

Quite the inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Such a helpful video thank you. The Topeak saddlebag, tent etc. You use is normally what weight? What is the maximum weight on the seat post ? Here’s what I estimate: Brompton lists weight limits for the front carrier block and the rear rack, 22# each max, but not the seatpost that I have found. The maximum weight on any bike is usually 242 pounds. So if the front bag is loaded at 22 pounds max, the rider plus the TOPEAK bag can only be 220 pounds max - meaning I’ve got a lot of weight to use before I use your method!

My wife would have loved the fireworks! Once again your trip proves you don't have to go far to have a great adventure. Luckily you had a dry night so a bivvy bag worked well. I still think I prefer a tent but like the speed and simplicity of a bivvy. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Must be a great bike if you are wearing Rims out ...... You must enjoy it a lot .... going into depth about it so much ...... I have one and i love them

Excellent idea if you're around sea air. Lighter, stronger is always positive.

Loved the beach fireworks 👍

Steel frame would defo need a good wash near sand!!

Another awesome Brompton bike-packing video. Thanks for sharing Terry.

Thank you. As always interesting to follow your adventures RayC

Cool video Terry, I haven’t been there for 30 odd years

Great video. I always take my trangia as it's so peaceful. I've cycled the pier to pier from Weston to Clevedon then yatton. Bit busier coming out of Weston than i thought it would be but it was ok on the Brompton. Either this week or in 2 weeks i'm planning to camp near brean but on a campsite. looking forward to seeing the sea and watching the sun set 🙂

Great adventure lovely spot to camp. Got to love the simplicity of a trangia and bivi. Glad the weather was kind to. Thanks for taking the time to film. All the best Pete 🚴

Frankly i wouldnt care even if i got punctures every other week with the contact urbans, they are so easy to seat and unseat from the rim that changing them is a joy, i will never destroy my fingertips trying to mess about with the nasty metal bead on the marathon pluses

Thanks for this video. Can I ask what the weight of the contents of the saddlepack are and how wobbly it gets when riding? I'm considering the Topeak 15l for my Brompton, too.

Hi hello Mr Terry, may I have your great guidance please. Currently I am using 52t and whenever I uphill I need to dismount and push all the way up. And I did not even use any highest gear ever. I been using the gear 3 or max is gear 4. My question is, is 44t chainring or 39t best? Some say 39t will be very slow and your feet will spinning like hamster on the wheel. How about 44t like yours? Would it be fast and easy paddle. Or is very slow?

Brilliant mate. Very informative.👍

Hi, Terry. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Continental Contact Urban tires - very much appreciated since you've had a very good amount of experience with them over many miles. Great channel - liked and subscribed. I just became a new Brompton owner last week and am every excited about using it for touring. I also found your Facebook group. It's an excellent group and thank you for that, too. Cheers!

Absolutely brilliant advice! I subscribed 👍

Great subject to address and thanks for the mention

I worry about feral youth finding me as a lone disabled female.

You mentioned everywhere except wild camping in Wales

Good advice Terry. I worry about the dreaded ticks.

Love the good reminder of helpful books on warding offnwerewolves and vampires :)

I'm not an expert but I'd guess not being noticed is the first aim. Along these lines I think bright coloured tents or 'blingy' bikes and bright lights are best avoided. I've seen a video account of a wild camper who had a dog walker stop and chat. They told the camper they knew someone was nearby when they smelt bacon cooking.🤭 Well done Terry, I hope it encourages more to try it; You planned camp looks in a lovely spot. Thanks for the video.

I am not been camping for awhile, I need too the problem is time now 😢. Thanks for encouraging. I will look for the info, plz let me know

Lovely, it looks like a rather pleasing chore, IMHO.
