      You are right, Bromptons are especial bikes that if you take good care, they last more them 20 years.
      It is a great investment, and if you use it for commute it can save you a lots of money and time.
      If you use it everyday, the upgrades will give you more comfort, but Brompton's originals are great.

    such a happy person loving your vids , im excited im finally picking up my 1st ever brompton on Monday to use everyday at work , its just a brompton hire bike till i can put enough money away to get my own one in the version i want but that aside thats good practice for anyone who is working on there bike to use the original tool kit , that way if you come across any jobs that need additional tools then eventually you will have every tool needed to do almost anything on the bike , a lot of people use tools from there tool box but when there out on the road and something needs fixed its then they realize they are missing a tool they need , anyways just thought id put that tip in there for someone , look forward to your future vids thanks again

      The first time you ride a Brompton, you feel the front wheel a little loose. But in acuple of minutes you get use to the feeling.
      The Brompton is marvelous as a commute bike, very friendly and easy.
      About the tool kit, it is very complete, it is rare to need any thing else.
      Tell me later what you think of riding a Brompton to work.
      If you have any questions, I'm glead to help
      Have a nice Brompton Ride😊🚴‍♀️

      @@ChrisbyBike aww thanks for the replay always appreciated , thats awesome thanks i will remember that about the front steering , i think i would buy the h6l in the black edition in black laquire , im not tall but i think the S version would be too sporty for me and the M and the H which use the M bars im not super keen on the way they look i would probably buy the H having the longer stem and slightly higher hinge then put some mtb riser bars on there but cut the length down a bit making the bike look nicer while having a similar handle bar height to the standard M version while having slightly wider bars means the front wont be quite as fast and sensitive steering making it a bit more stable , thats the theory anyway lol , but thanks again and i will pick the bike up this monday and use it all week so i will defiantly let you know how i got on , thanks and enjoy the rest of your night from the UK

    I had my pannier wheels changed before. I reckon a small size sealed bearing like this can’t carry the weight of rolling my Brompton quite often.

      Hi Zeyu Guan
      Good point. And some times there is the weight of the touring bags on top of the Brompton.
      Now my Easy Wheels are fine, no noise at all.

      Hi Dale
      The movement is in the bearing, I could find new bearings, but I think it would come out the same price as a new wheel.
      But I'll take another look.

    Why the small wheels in front? I changed mine as the very first thing and bought some more flashy ones with a larger size. And a new lightweight type holder for my S-bag and other items. I have bought a titanium rack in two sizes, but also a "double wheel-set" below it, as I will only put a rack on the bike, if actually needed (My bike came with the original, black mudguards, and the small, useless original wheels). And I have also bought a special "Eerder", Dutch manufactored piece of bracket to prevent the mudgaurd being squized during handling.

      Hi Ioana
      I don't use my Brompton for comute, so I get to chose the days I'm riding.
      When I'm bike touring, and have no option and have to ride in the rain, I do carry a rain gear.
      Mudguards are havy and only protects from water coming from the floor.
      But If I've use my Brompton only in my hometown for commute, I'll have mudguards and a dinamo for lights

      My Brompton has a small Rack so I only have to take the saddle out ant it fits perfect. The good thing is there is space for extra clothes or family presents.
