I noticed your friend has a Brompfication Ti seat post on his P line. I have a new P line as of a few weesk ago. I received my Brompfication Ti seat post a couple of day ago and rode to work with it this morning. My Metro bag was laden with laptop, ipad, chargers, pocket ultrasound and all up the whole bag weighs 8.6kg. On my way I noticed some front wheel shimmy/wobble. When I got home today I swapped out the (extended) Ti post for the steel one and the wobble went away. I am guessing the combination of this bike plus this rider and this weight distribution, plus the flex in this seat post was the unique combination that set up the harmonic. Have you noticed any extra flex in Ti seat posts that might be responsible for this? I used to have an M6L with a non-name Ti seat post and it didn't happen with that (but the overall weight and weight distribution were different obvs)
I don't use the front carrier block. That is an interesting find though. I am only 130 lbs plus another 10 lbs in my pack. I probably don't experience the problems that heavier riders near the weight limit experience. I can imagine the bike does change in ride quality though since it is only a 16" wheel set.
Congrats on getting the new P line. I have the same pedals with different color. They look nice and lightweight but the edges on these pedals are quite sharp they would scratch my calf and ankle if I don't pay attention...
Hey @BFT - LOVE your videos. I'm trying to take some weight off my P line. I am trying to choose between the Brompton Superlight Quick Release Pedals which come on the T Line and the MKS EZY Compact Pedals. Do you have a preference?
The Brompton superlight platform is much bigger so it is better if you have big feet. The compact pedals are much smaller so they can become easy for certain shoes to slip off. I had this problem with some of my shoes with the ezy compacts. I have small feet so the compacts worked fine most of the time.
I converted my A line with p line rear tri and fork. Titanium seat post p line saddle x4 speed super light front and rear wheels and converted them to tubeless and QR skewers with handles just used tap and dye to extend thread and cut to appropriate length after tightening to desired torque . Looking for titanium pedals now but not sure which to get. Obviously looking for the lighter model also price. Will look to get more lighter parts in the future.
Is there a version of this wherein one is fixed and only one is easily removeable? Thanks so much. I have the P line for just a few days and want to switch.
I love MKS pedals. They are always smooth and the quality is excellent. I have no experience with the Brompbacher but they seem to be another knock off brand. They might be good but I am not sure.
That's a nice backlight. I'm trying to figure out how to put a backlight after swapping the stock P line seat with a Brooks C13. The C13 doesn't have any place to attach the light. Can you tell me which light brand and bracket you are using? Great video. Tks.

@@woomichen1378 Magic Shine has a rail mount that might work. You can send them an email and they should be able to help you. Rear lights are nice but I break mine almost once a year no matter what brand. I think the shock from the saddle post eventually breaks them or possibly from being banged around when I raise and lower my seatpost.
Yet another great vid, I'm looking for the same and can only find silver. Question ... do the pedals come with a piece that will hold either pedal when removed? Or is it common to remove and put them into your bag?
I have only needed to take the pedals off for transport in my car so I just put it on the floor. There are many pedal holders available if you want to store it on the bike itself.
That is the local school fence so I am not sure what it is called. It's just for privacy since there are homes behind it. It is used often here by businesses that have homes behind them.
Since these pedals are removable you really do want a place to put them on your bike once your non-drive-side pedal is removed, which you do because that's why you bought a foldie in the first place. Luckily there are two third party solutions: one is a nov-design magnet which holds your removed pedal in transit (yes, it actually works, luckily I never lost the magnetic pedal holder nor the pedal). Second solution is a widget that goes on your rear axle where you can clip your pedal in just like you do in the crank arm. This is even more secure. However these aftermarket solutions for an aftermarket solution aren't particularly cheap but they do work. I don't understand why MKS doesn't sell a pedal holder for the removed pedal(s) to go and not be lost in transit?
The stock pedals are fine. The gain is minimal in most cases unless you have tight pedals that don't spin well. If your happy with the original pedals, then I would stick with them. I still use the stock pedals on my other Brompton.
I got these pedals when my non-folding pedal was about to fail for the second time and the folding pedal started showing signs of wear...the MKS Eazy last longer/ are of a better quality (but won't not forever either, eventually the part where the pedal clicks into the crank wore out on mine). But I still bought them again.
@@BromptonFamilyTime beutiful I like it. That P line electric is going to be nice but too much money. But will love to look at it in person. Enjoy your weekend and like always regards to the rest of family.
👩🏻Hi! Please watch this video for what parts were upgraded for P-Line. ua-cam.com/video/ViY7KcwEHMc/v-deo.html *Shu accidently saied 5 lbs lighter after him weighing the P-line in the video but actually it was 5lbs heavier. We hope you enjoy!
I love the brand MKC. They are hard to beat for that price range. The quick release mechanism is smooth and quality is always great. They are quite popular on all types of bikes.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Thank you! Will give my chapter 3 to my wife and get T line actually ordered one! Do you know any stores that selling titanium telescope seatpost? Thank you!
I've had those pedals on my Bike Friday since i bought it. My pedal style was developed by Grant Peterson of Rivbikes. Designed to MKS easy. BTW i have seen the clone Brompton bikes have cloned MKS pedals. With a holder that attaches behind the seat. Lastly did you think of taking pedal out of easy system to install on crank? ;-)
Thanks for sharing! I like the fact that the quick release is only on one side reducing the weight of the crank pedal that does not need to fold or have a quick release.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Thank you for this video - I thought EZY is integral to the pedal so you need to get a non-EZY Compact to install for the right side
I would go with the H&H seatpost if your going to use carbon rails. The Brompfication seatpost looks like it would work but I don't think it is a good idea. The Brompfication clamp uses two direct points around the rail that don't distribute the clamping force. The H&H clamp is one longer piece on the bottom so it will distribute the clamping force better (safer). This is my opinion but you may try emailing Brompfication and see if it is okay. I personally would not try it on carbon rails.
I want to get a nice crankset, but I scratch the crank arms on sharp turns a few times. I don't want to invest in a nice set because I know I will damage them eventually. I would hate to have carbon fiber arms and get them scratched. The problem is the roads where I live have unnoticeable dips in the road corners cause the crank arm or pedal to hit the road sometimes.
@@whodunit5621 I have silicone end caps on the crank arms on my Bike Friday. They are inexpensive and have prevented more scrapes to the ends of the arms when I fold it.
You can try finding a nearby dealer below: tipartsworkshop.com/dealers/ I order from overseas since you get a better deal on taxes/shipping from my experience.
I use standard grease from Park Tools. One tube will last a very long time. I may look into better grease in the future but I am still using the one I have had for years.
I would hate to be able to lose my pedals during transport, and I have a new titanium bolt for my folding pedal! As also an ultra expensive, Vincita padded pouch for its protection during transport.
Hi Shu, I wanted to warn you about those MKS pedals and the yellow, plastic retainer. I have the same exact pedals. We were riding down the Hudson River Greenway and stopped at one of the Chelsea Piers. We had to walk the bikes into one of the piers to park the bikes where we had lunch. We came back out and walked the bikes back to the bike path. I hopped on my Brompton and found one of my pedals was missing. I had to walk back looking for my pedal and after about ten minutes of searching, found that it had been kicked down the sidewalk about 40 feet from the parking garage entrance. Luckily I was able to find it and continue the ride. Apparently, my shoe had pushed the quick release while riding and during the time I walked the bike it had fallen off. Now I never ride with those pedals without the yellow retainer clips. I put a tie wrap around the middle of them so they are easier to remove. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience. Otherwise they have been excellent pedals.
@@edwardli2022 Yes I have four different EZY Superior pedals (including two that are clip-ons) that I swap between my Brompton and my eBike. I can't really see why they still sell the original EZY pedals. The EZY Superior are safer.

your boy is too adorable. thanks for the share on your new pedal setup!

Nice. I went with the MKS’s that are both clueless and flat pedal. I wish I had just gone flat pedal as I am finding I clip in less and kess
I've never tried clipless (only straps on my fixed gear). These pedals are nice and simple.

Nice upgrades. The Tiparts Workshop pedals are so far my favorite, but the MKS are just as nice.
Is there a version of this wherein one is fixed and only one is easily removeable? Thanks so much. I have the P line for just a few days and want to switch.
I have not seen that for the MKS pedals. TiParts Workshop offers one sided QR pedals, but they are two times more expensive.
I am considering purchasing the same and would appreciate a reply.
Have you tried using it without the yellow one and did the pedals ever come off?
I never use the yellow clips and never lost a pedal. That said, if you have wide feet, you will hit the locking mechanism and it may come off.
Thx for the video! Do you recommend these pedals and bromification seatpost as must-have upgrades for weight reduction? I have a P-Line.
I have always changed my pedals and seatpost (and grips) on all ten of my Bromptons. I would get the H&H seatpost over the Brompfication seatpost.
Do you prefer the MKS over Brombacher? Thx

Are those pedals have the same length as the bromptons thank you
No these are much smaller than the original pedals. MKS has other models that are similar in size to the original so please check them out.
Did you consider the H&H light weight pedals that are similar in design to these? plus they come in full black which I like a little better.
Yes they look nice too, but they are expensive. H&H makes some really good stuff.

Weight reduction aside do these pedals improve the ride or pedaling experience? I'm wondering if I should get them. Thanks.

Hi ! Are these pedal grippy on the shoes even in wet conditions ?
It depends on the shoes but in wet conditions you may slip off of them just the same as other pedals with smaller platforms.
Which do you prefer, these or the new pedals that come with the T-Line? And are the MKS or the T-Line Pedals larger?
The T-Line pedals are nice pedals overall, but they did not spin nice so I changed them.
Congratulations on your new P line, those Pedals are sexy!!!!! I wish out T lines has a coating since is s easy to scratch. Hi to family!!!

The padded pouch is a good idea! I scratch my paint!
I have similar pedals from Brompton TI. Do you need to glue the studs into the pedals? They tend to fall out.
I was told by someone else they may fall out but I haven't lost any so far.
Odd that the box for the pedals mention it's 239g for the pair when it's really 309g!
These are ezy release on both sides so they are heavier. The 239g is the one side ezy and one side fixed pedal weight.
What kind of tire you have in a bike..
They both have the Continental Urban tires on now. The Schwalbe One tires are not durable for New York City Streets.
