Again a great video which covers all the important details and different aspects. Very helpful. 👍 Thank you for this. I’m sure it was a lot of work. Extremely well done. 😊
thank you for your video. Was hoping to get a trailer to use as a large cat carrier but sadly I notice that the base of the trailer goes down which would make it uncomfortable for my cat. I assume the 16" wheels of the Brompton are the reason....
@@carolinepaige217 Hi Caroline, thanks for your comment! There are two potential solutions I can think about - a) you can mount the clamp, connecting bike and the trailer upwards rather than downwards. Didn’t do it myself tbh, but couple of other guys commented that they did it with their Bromptons and trailers and it worked perfectly fine. And it seems quite realistic, based on my experience as well. This way the trailer will be more upwards, so most likely will be more comfortable for your cat. B) Burley has 2 trailers specifically designed for pets, don’t know much about them tbh, but assume they should be more comfortable for a cat or have any specific features to help transporting pets: burley.com/en-in/collections/pet-bike-trailers
@@gdlerner Hi Gerardo, thanks for your comment. I am almost certain it will work in a similar way, to the best of my knowledge rear axle for C-line looks pretty much the same as for P-line, so same kind of setup should work as well.
@@gdlernerthat’s fine, neither do I on the P-line. the default skewer is not a QR, with regular nuts on both ends. The one I’ve used in the video is from Hope - brilliantbikes.co.uk/quick-release/4358-hope-road-130mm-quick-release-rear-skewer-black.html?search_query=Hope+Road+130mm+Quick+Release+Rear+Skewer+-+Black%09+&results=3178 I’ve bought it separately for the whole setup with the trailer. QR doesn’t really matter here tbh, it’s more the length of the skewer, to give enough room for the hitch.
Btw, looks like I might be wrong with my previous comments here. Did some research and it looks like with Sturmey Archer hub for a 6-speed C-line it might look slightly different after all. Will get back to you later today on that front, need to check couple of other points first.
So it looks like that for C-line you don’t event need a new axle - found this video on Brilliant Bikes, where they attach Thule Chariot to C-line with Sturmey Archer hub, and the hitch just bolts on fine - ua-cam.com/video/tvBA1K8oFmQ/v-deo.htmlsi=uAZK0SkHFSG0z47q
Christ Alive!!!! £820 for a trailer is mega expensive! I'd expect to buy a car for that price! Is that company run by Alex, Paul and Jess or something!

@@KeithApp Hi Keith, 100% with you on that :)
I bought aluminum frame brompton from Ali
It weighs eight kilograms
I'm going to use lightweight parts to reduce it further The price is 1000 dollars
@@lovehug78 sounds good, all the best with your cycling adventures :)
