      I spent hours researching these wheels from them without coming to a conclusion of which hardness/bearing combination I should try.

    Victor... You are a Brompton Ninja! I love the idea of the rotawheels, but the noise would drive me nuts! Probably a worthy trade-off for the ease of movement so I’ll be off to their website in a moment! There are bazillions of uses for used inner tubes - you have offered some superb suggestions! Keep riding and hacking and Stay Safe - love your well produced and interesting videos 👍🤩

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling 3 роки тому +1

      Ahah that's a cool name! The noise put me off for a minute when I first tried them on, but after taking the bike to the grocery store I realized it wasn't bad (the softer ones). And yes, we can get very creative with some old tubes and zip ties!

    I like it that you come up with different ideas and test out different products on your Brompton. I have been to a couple of Brompton dealers. Whenever I mention one of your hacks or other non-Brompton products to them they say either that they could no longer service a Brompton with a hack on it or they say don't do it, it will ruin the bike.

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling 3 роки тому

      If a Brompton dealer ever refuses to service my bike because I have a rear view mirror or a piece of inner tube on my seat post, I'll e-mail Brompton right away and complain about it.

    Aloha from Hawaii Victor, Love your channel! That inner tube on the seat post is a great idea! I'll share one inner tube idea also for the chain stay, I cut a small strip of inner tube, then cut again so it folds open. Wrap around the chain stay and use Gorilla Glue/Super Glue to bind the tubes into itself. Careful not to glue the tube to the frame. When it dries, you can stretch and turn the seam inside for a cleaner look.

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling 3 роки тому

      I never thought of gluing the inner tube like you suggested. When using inner tubes as frame protection, your method probably looks a lot better. Thanks for sharing your idea!

    Hello. Before all, thanks for your videos. They helped me a lot while choosing my Brompton and accessories. I was about to order these rotacaster wheels but just noticed they're the same size as the 4 original wheels of the Brompton back rack. And recently I noticed that my front wheel (bike folded) sometimes rubs the floor and the rolling isn't as smooth. I'd be glad to know if you have the same problem after installing the 5cm rotacaster wheels ? Kind regards from France 🇫🇷🙂

    Hi Victor! Really impressed with the Omni wheels until I heard the noise, thanks for pointing it out and giving an honest review on this. I wanted to ask you also about your side mirror, can you tell which mode it is, as I see it doesn’t affect the folding of the bike. I use ergon gp1 grips so should work just fine with these. Thanks in advance!

    Polycarbonate film works good as a phone screen protector... wonder if it would work protecting the chainstay from the hook... You also might try an actuall hex-nut on that shifter chain... then *put a wrench on it* ... or maybe one of those threaded standoffs you sometimes see in electronics... that would give you a larger surface to grab...

    Hi Victor! I have added various upgrades to my M6L since I bought it in January this year. Among these, I earlier added a rack and your idea of the omni-castors. However, since adding a wheel extender and wheels, I have noticed that one of the omni-castors no longer touches any surface when rolling. It is not consistently so when rolling with the handlebars but it is when I am rolling the bike with the seat raised. Can you, or anyone else, recommend what I should do to remedy this?

    Hello from Scotland. I’ve just fulfilled a long held ambition and have bought a second hand Brompton ML6. I am very pleased with it but have a question that you may be able to help with. It has no rear rack and, when folded the front wheel is touching the ground so making it very difficult to wheel around on the rollers. Have you come across this problem before?

  • @Grangeburn
    @Grangeburn 3 роки тому

    Hi Victor! Another great video! The rotawheel omni-castors caught my attention and after much research I have found an agent here in Scotland. Now, a few questions if I may. Why did you not consider the solid grey PBT roller with no bush? Apparently PBT is polybutylene terephthalate???? I had no idea what that was but googling brought up its hardness and toxic qualities. The load capacity is excessive at 40kg but the colour would blend in better with my black Brompton. Any advice?

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling 3 роки тому

      Hey Michael, the solid grey PBT roller is 99A hardness, completely solid. It's basically a hard piece of plastic, and I imagine it will make a horribly loud noise when rolling. They're probably more brittle as well. The representative at Rotacaster suggested the 99A hardness would be unsuitable for our application and didn't even send me those. After testing the 95A I tend to agree. The orange (60A) has the hardness of a tire tread. You can feel a little give when pressing on it with your finger nail. I agree the black one would look a lot better on the Brompton. I'll send them some feedback as well, to make a 60mm wheel with 60A hardness in black. It would be the ideal solution for us. For now, it's just ta hack! hehe

    Hi, great video. I have received my omni wheels. How do you remove the bushings that they come with to fit better bearings?

    • @philshepherd4301
      @philshepherd4301 3 роки тому

      For anyone else wondering, the bushings can just be hooked out with a small screwdriver. I would definitely recommend replacing the supplied bushings with bearings as it makes a big difference. I originally ordered the harder wheels, but as described in the video, these are quite noisy. I've ordered some additional softer compound type wheels as my use case will be using the wheels in a supermarket and I won't be using them over rough ground.
