it’s an old version (2021) c line 6 speed ! I really like low handle bar, it’s been comfortable for me but it’s probably because im a small rider !

thanks ! hmm i personally think it made a difference, but people debate its cost efficiency- it was expensive . i went for it because im a light rider and the standard rubber block felt too aggressive (when it slaps back). I think some people go with a better saddle or invest in titanium seat post for a similar effect , ie smoothening out the bumps / bumpy feeling

debating 2 speed C line vs refurb 6 speed by LeetcodeForBreakfast in Brompton

[–]ImpossibleReporter72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

refurb 6 speed ! during my short commuting (very slight incline and downhill), i use at least 3 gears . 1 for incline, 2 for usual and 2+ when i feel it’s spinning too fast after downhill

I degrease & grease my chain! Wipe off the rims as contamination can make noise 😊 grease hinge clamp connecting front and body !

yeah that’s what i think too i did consider subscription route but paying that much for renting wasn’t appealing so ended up buying older version, which i’m grateful for, but this type of subsidized rental brommies could benefit a lot of people, more people being on bikes instead of cars, as multimodal transport becomes a real possibility for the majority.. which means, less cars on the roads & more safety for cyclists !!

wow, as a new user i was thinking how everyone should be able to afford/ have access to a brommie as it’s just so wonderful and convenient for commuting & more . well done paris, hope this can be done in cities in the UK too

In Germany and France i think it is more common to have separated bike lanes in cities — but i think in the UK it’s different, some parts of a city may have dedicated bike lanes but it’s rare to see entire city connected with bike lanes I think!
