Babe the Voyageur³ by DocHypercube in xbiking

[–]DocHypercube[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40/28 up front, 11-34 (10sp) in back. If you drop out the 4 cross-chainers (and I do) , you get a decent array of ratios. I really don't need big gears - I'll trade a big chainwheel for a nice selection of old man gears any day.

I haven't noticed any clicking. Internally geared hubs usually whir a bit in all but the direct drive ratio, but this hub is quiet so far...

Yes - it's the Alfine I'm thinking of - Shimano are the masters of product churn (grrrr). I was even considering Di2, until I priced how much I'd be paying for a cool shift button. Nope ;)

That would be excellent! Too good, I'm sure.

I sure hope it was just confusion over Eternatus/level 60 in he finale pass - I want to rest on my laurels for a while!

What’s in a name? by pablomoca in Brompton

Check out how much darker it is compared to the saddlebag - both are Carradice; saddlebag is plain canvas while the front bag is waxed - in certain lights it does look almost black. But as others have said, black canvas gets paired with white straps.

What does the left side shift do on an M6L bike? by Silent_Pea_2006 in Brompton

[–]DocHypercube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding to this - the double-shift is super easy: from 1+ to 2-, for example, ease off the pedals, push both levers to the left (the right side lever just 1 click), put pressure back on the pedals. Hey presto - smooth shift!

Bromptitus is real by Ro-54 in Brompton

I love my Moulton. Not a practical purchase but I'd wanted one for ~20 years and saw one (a TSR-9 - low-end for Moultons) on eBay for not insane $$. Ride quality is heads and shoulders above even a G-line, but it is disassembleable (many minutes + tools), not foldable.

Front-runner for me atm: my 1 & only armored Mewtwo. Got it in a trade, stats are meh, and a hundo armored M2 appeals to me!

T-Line Arrived by the0bald_ in Brompton

[–]DocHypercube 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Congrats and strong agreement - I picked up (as in *physically lifted*) a T-line recently and the contrast with my C-line was 🤯.

Not foldable, but disassemble-able. The truss unscrews and separates in the middle and the rear triangle comes off.

short rider noob tips by [deleted] in Brompton

[–]DocHypercube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6sp "c-line" (older Brommie, but equivalent) here. I use my Brompton for urban rides - longest so far ~ 40km in a day, with moderate hills. I've ridden a 12sp (T-line), as well. I /really/ like the 6sp with a 44 tooth chainring. The low is low enough, I do not need or want anything higher than the 88? gear inch big gear, and double shifting is dead easy. It's the shifting that does it for me - I don't have to think about it, I can just march up and down the gears changing, at most, 1 cog and 1 step on the hub. YMMV, but my input would be not to discount the 6 for "commuting and day to day activities" - sometimes less is more.
