Hi! I don't think you need me to say that, but that bike is a beauty! Thank you for posting videos of yourself biking and taking the metro at such lovely places, so I can live vicariously through you =)
Just found your channel and have subscribed. I also recently got a Brompton (I'm currently on their subscription plan but will buy my own bike in the new year) for 'little adventures' just like yours. I was actually planning to go on one this morning, but we had snow overnight, and I'm not a confident cyclist, so that trip (and video) has had to be postponed. But it's the best fun bike I've ever owned.
Thank you, and welcome to the channel! What Brompton model did you get? I can totally relate to the postponing. Rather choose some safer road conditions for a video trip.
@@cycgeist Hi, I got a 6-speed C Line in black, which I think accounts for most of the subscription Bromptons now. I shall probably get the same when I buy, though maybe in a slightly more exciting colour, adding a rack w/EZ wheels and a 44T main ring. Unfortunately you're not allowed to modify the lease bikes!
Love your videos - hope there’s many more to come! 🙂 I also live in Munich and am in the market for my first Brompton so I have two questions if you don’t mind: 1. are you happy with your Schwalbe Marathon Racers Tanwall? Any punctures yet? 2. How are you handling the weight of the CLine? Wound the PLine have been an option for you too?
Thank you so much!! I am planning some more, yes 😉 No punctures so far on the tanwall Racers (after around 800km). I am happy with them, but can’t compare them to other Brompton tires. What I have to say is that I got them in some very good deal and maybe wouldn‘t have bought them otherwise. I feel like some Brompton tires are really expensive, especially given how (not) much rubber you get for your money 😄 Regarding the weight, I would recommend trying to carry a bag with enough water bottles inside around to familiarize yourself with the weight. For me C-Line is okay to carry around for 1-3 min, then it becomes really heavy. I also really recommend the rack because of the additional two little rear wheels for pulling it behind me. Hope that helps.
I think 35 mm wide tires like the Schwalbe Marathon Racer already are the limit for the stock 16" Brompton. No fatties fit fine. And there is a review of the Marathon Efficiency I have bought in this video on bicyclerollingresistance.com. They also have a review of the Marathon Racer I have on my Brompton. Even though the Racer is reviewed as 28" version there, the Brompton version should be similar in terms of rolling resistance and puncture protection. Hope that helps.

"Pull ups and cake at Grandmas place" is so based
That cake sent me to the kitchen for a slice of my own. That was a lot of pressure to make the train.
Yes, I should have also checked the train shedules for going back ^^

I see, thanks for your reply. Your plans sound very good! Especially the rack is so convenient for moving the Brompton around.

What’s the fattest tyre that can be fitted on a Brompton? And do you know anyone that has Don a review on them ? Thanks take care .
