Hi HUY NGUYEN I love to ride bikes, especially my darling Brompton. Easy to ride , and let me go inside coffee shops and other buildings with no worries of losing my bike. Nice to have you on board!

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
Congrats!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 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.

Hi Travel B 9th street B2 I've use for an year the hardcase Delsey Paris 29 and now I use the soft case Delsey 29. They both work fine. 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. It is a nice way to travel if you have a place to live the Delsey while riding your bike. Nice to have you on board!

New subscriber from the Philippines. I don’t have a Brompton bike yet but I’m dying to have one. Joining your vlogs feels like I’m close to having one. As the say, law of attraction.😊
Hi Marv M you are Very Welcome! Bromptons are unique bicycles , easy to get around, and get access to many places. It is a very smart bike, when folded the chain and all the delicate parts are protected by the wheels, which prevents getting dirty or damage the gears. Do you already have an idea of the color you will choose?
@@ChrisbyBike I’m not sure yet what model though. They all all look the same lol but any color would do and besides I will still save money for that. For now, I’m attracting it by watching vlogs and reviews. I hope someday🙏🏼☝🏻🚴🏻♂️ Stay safe always!
Thanks for another great video. Love the wheel extenders. FIRST MODIFICATION for sure. I see the H&H on the rear rack now 🤦♂️ I didn't know where to look before (UA-cam just updated and the mobile interface is very different. I didn't see how to drop down the parts list) Thank you Chris!
@@alangillanders2811 My Titaniun bolts arrived today. I'll look for the Blue Loctite before I'll exange them. Thanks once again. Love to learn new tips 😊
Love your videos. Great presentation and editing. Would be very helpful if you can list the parts, vendors, SKU, and costs. A lot of us would benefit if we know the specific parts and costs. Happy Riding!
Hi Woomi Chen I'm glad you like it! In the video description box there are links for all my upgrades or similar to the ones I've bought. Happy to be of some help! Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
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.
I just bought a Brompton Electric and found your channel via „Everyday Cycling ‘s Channel“ And it is so funny to see in this video, you have been to my small native town in Germany 🙆🏼♀️ I am half portuguese, maybe you‘ve also been to my „other half“ native towns“ 😂 Like it was meant to be to find your channel 🙏🏻😉 Thank you for all the tipps, I am really happy for finding channels that help me get used to my new bolt blue baby 💙💙💙

Can’t wait 😅

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. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Hi Kayed All-Haddad I haven't link because 4 months later it broke. I've done a research about similars suspension blocks and found out that most of them brake after cuple of months. So now I'm back to the original Brompton Firm Suspension block. Nice to Have You on Board!
How did you do this at 2:13, where you can hit the bike on the ground to release the catch? You didn't need to bend over to release the catch and fold the back wheel.
Hi Kikimut91 It was a ajustment I had in my last suspension block. But I didn't manage to replicate in this new one. But as sone as I manage the same ajustment, I'll tell you guys 😊
Ho Nor 08 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. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Chris, I have a question for you - why haven't you decided to get mudguards? Do you think it would be easy to install one with your back rack? I am trying to get a mudguard and a rack here in UK and am having a bit of a difficulty deciding on what to buy and where from :)
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 Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Hi thanks for all your joyful upgrades. I’m particularly keen with hand grip upgrade. Does it fit perfectly without modifying the length? The upward grip can it be rotated or it is locked in position?
Hi William Lim I didn't have to modify the grip's length, but hat to move in the brakes and levers. And it still just a bit out of the handlebars. But it is verry steady and firm. On this model of ergon grip G2 the upward is fix to the grip. They move together. Nice to have you on board!
Hi Blue Yonder Rio de Janeiro is a blessed city. We have beautiful beaches and marvelous mountains. It also has all the problems of a big city.... And with the Brompton I can enjoy the best parts of Rio😊🚴♀️
Hi Thomas Leong Usually from Amazon or Aliexpress. But when I'm traveling I like to visit local bike shops and find nice upgrades. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Wooooooow!!! I loved!!! 😃🥰 In this moment i find you video! You are so beautiful. Me encanta tu video y ahora me subscribi porque yo tengo una brompton, tengo 40 años y amo la bicicleta. Ojalá podamos rodar algún día juntos, eres bienvenida a mi país. Saludos desde Puebla, México.
Hi Franz RM Me alegro de que te haya gustado el canal. Las Brompton son bicicletas fantásticas que son fáciles de maniobrar e ir a cualquier parte. México es un país con mucha cultura y lugares increíbles. Keep Safe! Keep Riding! (Glad you liked the channel. Brompton are fantastic bikes that are easy to maneuver and go anywhere. Mexico is a country with a lot of culture and incredible places.)
Kkkkkkk I was supost to take the Brompton for a good clean up. But the shop was full. 🤣🤣🤣 I think this suspension block is so cool. Last month was my birthday, so my friends and family got together and they gave me several Brompton upgrades as a Birthday present. 😍😍😍
Aftermarket suspension blocks are firmer than the Brompton standard or stiff, even the current gen universal suspension. Makes a big difference when you are heavy or carrying heavy stuff.
Great video, I have a few questions about the new spare parts: 1. Is this suspension block also compatible with the new Brompton P line model? 2. I love the kickstand where can I purchase it? Kind regards, Memo
Hi Memo Seven I'm glad you like it! 1. The new Brompton P and T lines have there own suspension block. It is especial for the new triangle. This suspension block is beautiful, but it broke after using for couple of moths. There is a video about it in my channel. 2. The kick stand is fantastic, I have it for years and at the time I've bought at Amazon. com. They don't carry it anymore, but on the video description I've place a link for a similar Kickstand. Nice to have you on board!
Hi Kenny Eu My ergongrips I've bought in Germany. CON-TEC Ergonomische Fahrradgriffe But I've left some links for similar ergongrips in the description box of the videos. They really make a difference. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Love the vid, stumbled on your channel accidentally. I also have a Brompton and I love it, ride a 10 mile route almost daily. Just starting to do upgrades myself. ❤️
Hi Eddie The Brompton is great, especially for commuting. Easy to Ride and no worries to take in the work place. To move it around, I find the easy wheels and the extension verry useful.
Also, were you able to adjust your rear suspension block to release "with a little tap"? I tried and tried and tried and couldn't figure out how to do that! Please make a video about that adjustment for us!
Rsrsrsrsrs. I trying with the new suspension block, but it is working intermittent. But as soon as I get it right, I'll make a vídeo about the trick for the ajustment. It makes folding a Brompton much easier 😊 Tomorrow I'll try to climb Christ the Redeemer with the Brompton. Torce por mim 🚴♀️😊🚴♀️😊
Kkkk nada feito, subi a Vista, o Postinho, mas quando ia entrar nas Paineiras estava proibido a circulação pois o Presidente estava visitando o Cristo. Peninha....vou tentar amanhã novamente 😊
Hi Darwin No, we have to buy the tool kit separately. It is very well made and have all the needed tools for your Brompton. I really like it. Nice to have you on board!
Hi J Tan Yes, I use an extender. They make Brompton Life easer. I've bought mine at a bike shop in NY. (it no longer exist) but you can find similar extenders in my Amazon links. You only need one. Nice to have you on board
Very nice selection of upgrades Chris! I'm looking into getting that kickstand. Would you mind sharing where you bought yours from? I found one at bikegang.
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. Thank you

@@ChrisbyBike ah! Falando mesmo da Brompton, achei no aliexpress.it os pedaços do quadro desta bicicleta en titanio por um preço muito bom, e todos os accesorio. Estive pensando de montarla pouco a pouco, com rodas de 20 pulgadas. Acha vai sair bem? Obrigados
Não sei se é possível. De 16 para 20 é muita diferença, talvez atrapalhe na hora de dobrar (I don't know if it's possible. From 16 to 20 is a big difference, maybe it will get in the way of folding it)

@@ChrisbyBike Do you know of a better one that's not all rubber?
Hi B.Griffin317
I use the original FIRM suspension block.
Feels more steady.
I can't say much about the other options, haven't try them. Sorry.
Wooooooow!!! I loved!!! 😃🥰
In this moment i find you video!
You are so beautiful. Me encanta tu video y ahora me subscribi porque yo tengo una brompton, tengo 40 años y amo la bicicleta. Ojalá podamos rodar algún día juntos, eres bienvenida a mi país.
Saludos desde Puebla, México.
Hi Franz RM
Me alegro de que te haya gustado el canal.
Las Brompton son bicicletas fantásticas que son fáciles de maniobrar e ir a cualquier parte. México es un país con mucha cultura y lugares increíbles.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
(Glad you liked the channel. Brompton are fantastic bikes that are easy to maneuver and go anywhere. Mexico is a country with a lot of culture and incredible places.)
Why did you change the suspension block? The new one is beautiful. The priceless moment was seeing sand on the rim by the suspension block. ;-)
Kkkkkkk
I was supost to take the Brompton for a good clean up. But the shop was full. 🤣🤣🤣
I think this suspension block is so cool.
Last month was my birthday, so my friends and family got together and they gave me several Brompton upgrades as a Birthday present. 😍😍😍
@@ChrisbyBike oh no, don't clean the sand, that's just a sign of cycling in happy places :)
@@tandago7281 😊😍😊😍😊😍
You are right!
But do not worry, as soon as I get out of my door. The sand comes back.
Aftermarket suspension blocks are firmer than the Brompton standard or stiff, even the current gen universal suspension. Makes a big difference when you are heavy or carrying heavy stuff.
@@RaijinKaze I felt the ride with the new suspension block verry comfortable. I like it!
Great video, I have a few questions about the new spare parts:
1. Is this suspension block also compatible with the new Brompton P line model?
2. I love the kickstand where can I purchase it?
Kind regards,
Memo
Hi Memo Seven
I'm glad you like it!
1. The new Brompton P and T lines have there own suspension block. It is especial for the new triangle.
This suspension block is beautiful, but it broke after using for couple of moths. There is a video about it in my channel.
2. The kick stand is fantastic, I have it for years and at the time I've bought at Amazon. com. They don't carry it anymore, but on the video description I've place a link for a similar Kickstand.
Nice to have you on board!
Chris eu moro no Rio e sou Bomptoneiro desde 1994. Eu moro no Flamengo. Abraços
Que bacana Greg
A Brompton é maravilhosa para rodar pelo Rio de Janeiro.
Uauuu 1994 com a mesma Brompton? Que cor?
Which brand is the spare bell, it sounds good, can you share the link
Hi Prasad Rao
I'm really sorry, but there is no brand and I've bought in a bike shop in Germany. Can't help you on that.
Handlebar grip bran
Hi Kenny Eu
My ergongrips I've bought in Germany.
CON-TEC Ergonomische Fahrradgriffe
But I've left some links for similar ergongrips in the description box of the videos.
They really make a difference.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
Love the vid, stumbled on your channel accidentally. I also have a Brompton and I love it, ride a 10 mile route almost daily. Just starting to do upgrades myself. ❤️
Hi Eddie
The Brompton is great, especially for commuting. Easy to Ride and no worries to take in the work place.
To move it around, I find the easy wheels and the extension verry useful.
Also, were you able to adjust your rear suspension block to release "with a little tap"? I tried and tried and tried and couldn't figure out how to do that! Please make a video about that adjustment for us!
Rsrsrsrsrs. I trying with the new suspension block, but it is working intermittent.
But as soon as I get it right, I'll make a vídeo about the trick for the ajustment. It makes folding a Brompton much easier 😊
Tomorrow I'll try to climb Christ the Redeemer with the Brompton.
Torce por mim 🚴♀️😊🚴♀️😊
@@ChrisbyBike vou torcer, e vai ser lindo!
🤩😊🚴♀️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Kkkk nada feito, subi a Vista, o Postinho, mas quando ia entrar nas Paineiras estava proibido a circulação pois o Presidente estava visitando o Cristo. Peninha....vou tentar amanhã novamente 😊
You two are my favorite Brompton people on UA-cam! So positive!
When you bought your brompton bike, did it come with a free toolkit? Thanks!
Hi Darwin
No, we have to buy the tool kit separately.
It is very well made and have all the needed tools for your Brompton.
I really like it.
Nice to have you on board!
Did you only use one easy wheel extender? I'm looking to get the extender too but I've been wondering whether to get one or two extenders ...
Hi J Tan
Yes, I use an extender.
They make Brompton Life easer.
I've bought mine at a bike shop in NY. (it no longer exist) but you can find similar extenders in my Amazon links.
You only need one.
Nice to have you on board
@@ChrisbyBike thanks for the quick reply!
I always answer as soon as possible.
Keep riding! Keep Safe!
1:37 B17? Isn't that C17, C stands for Cambium in the name if I am not wrong.
Yes!
You are right. Sorry!
It is a C17. For Cambium
Already correct in the Description. Thanks once more!
Very nice selection of upgrades Chris! I'm looking into getting that kickstand. Would you mind sharing where you bought yours from? I found one at bikegang.
Hi Victor
This Kickstand I've bought at Amazon.com, but they don't have it anymore. You can find at Ebay.
It is a verry good, and light kickstand
Great upgrades! Would a few washers take up some of the space so that those roller wheels don't rattle. Thanks.
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.
Thank you
Great!!!
Querida Lili
Seja bem vinda ao Canal. 😊🚴♀️😘
Super!!!
Thanks Greg!
This week I'm editing a new video with 3 new small upgrades.
Hope you like it.
Nice to have you on board
Olàaa! Mas vc è brasileira? Fala portuguese?😀👍Si não for, you speak english so clear 😉😉👍
Oi Giuseppe DeF
Sim sou Brasileira nascida no Rio de Janeiro. Tento falar o inglês mais explicado pois sei que muitos assinantes tem o inglês como segunda lingua.
Nice to have you on board!
(Yes, I am Brazilian born in Rio de Janeiro. I try to speak more explained English because I know that many subscribers have English as a second language)
Tenho muita saudade de aì, pq eu fiquei muito tempo no Brasil, tb no Rio, trabalhando na Tim. Conheço muito bem o camino que vc fez em bicicleta, que è a rua que chega desde Barra da Tijuca, mesmo aonde ficava a Tim. Muito años que falto do Brasil, espero voltar logo. Conheço mas o Brasil todinho que mesmo o meu pais, Italia. Muito prazer e aproveite a sua cidade 👍👍🙂
Que bacana ter tido a chance de conhecer o Brasil. Que é um lindo Pais.
A Italia tem lugares fantásticos e cidades incríveis.
Gosto muito de pedalar na Itália, fiz o Granfondo de Roma com largada no Coliseu e chegada no Circus Maccimus. A Italia tem um grande respeito pelos ciclistas, muito legal.
Nice to have you on board!
(How nice to have had the chance to get to know Brazil. That is a beautiful country.
Italy has fantastic places and incredible cities.
I love cycling in Italy, I did the Granfondo in Rome, starting at the Coliseum and arriving at Circus Maccimus. Italy has a great respect for cyclists, very cool.)
@@ChrisbyBike ah! Falando mesmo da Brompton, achei no aliexpress.it os pedaços do quadro desta bicicleta en titanio por um preço muito bom, e todos os accesorio. Estive pensando de montarla pouco a pouco, com rodas de 20 pulgadas. Acha vai sair bem? Obrigados
Não sei se é possível. De 16 para 20 é muita diferença, talvez atrapalhe na hora de dobrar
(I don't know if it's possible. From 16 to 20 is a big difference, maybe it will get in the way of folding it)
Chris você é Brasileira? Onde moras?
Oi Greg
Sou Carioca da Gema.
Rio de Janeiro
... Everyone recommends to upgrade the easy wheels...😢😂
Yes, it makes pushing the Brompton much easier, and steady.
Nice to have you on board!
Love all these brompton upgraders. Obviously the wobbly bike wasn't up to it in the first place. More money than sense...
Hi Cosgrove Notts
Brompton has great upgrades.
What bike do you use besides your Peugeot?
Good video, but the music is horrid! Too loud, inane and unnecessary! 👎
Hi JP
I'm glad you like it!
I'm a photographer, and I have a hard time to find songs for the videos. Sorry about that!
Nice to have you on board!
