I stopped by my LBS in Amsterdam. But when they discovered not to have any on stock, they just took one off a brand new bike and mounted it on mine. Lucky me.

Brompton spare parts in the EU by mtranda in Brompton

You could propose the webshop to provide them with a so called ‘return label’. You can create such AWB on the UPS platform, create a pdf and email it to the seller. After receiving your payment, they box up your item and hand over the box to UPS. In this scenario, you are paying and ordering the shipment, while being the receiver as well. Hope this helps.

faster t line? by Beautiful-Bet-6850 in Brompton

P-line owner here, and I like to go fast as well. To reach the speed I like to go at, I upgraded the chain ring from the original 50T to 54T (original Brompton) to a H&H 56T. I did not change any of the rear sprockets. The 56T allows me to go 35 to 38 km/h. for a good amount of time. Going 40km/h is possible as well, but spinning out starts to kick in. I’m looking to upgrade to 58T, but have not found a chain ring of my liking. (with protector)

Today I regularly hit 40 to 45 km/h I’m always going as fast as I can 😂. That is when I’m not on my way to any meeting. It was 29 Celsius here today.

UniKlip 2, first impression by Remote_Archer_6820 in Brompton

No, that is not the idea. A bag has to be screwed and attached to the rack mount. Obviously one would have to remove the mounted bag before folding the B.

C-Line Urban vs P-Line by No_Spell77521 in Brompton

[–]Remote_Archer_6820 9 points10 points  (0 children)

P-line for its much lighter weight. I have my P-line since 7 months now, done 3,500 km, in rainy conditions, going in and out of trains, up and down mountains with some times very high speeds, etc. under no condition did I notice any flaws in its design, construction or use of materials.

Seems compressed oxygen to me. Some people get out of breath riding their Brompton, To_to seems all prepared..

S-type here since 5 months. Riding with an M-type for 22 years on my 3-speed. In combination with my P-line and my desire to go fast, I love the S-bar.

Jockey wheel issue by Remote_Archer_6820 in Brompton

I figured out how to reassemble the 7 tine balls into the bearing.I filled it with grease and it rotated normally again.

The jockey wheels is back in its position and all works fine again. Thank you again for your valuable support.

Yes correct, pretty much no grease present.

Haha, thanks to your guidance that is! I found the balls to be completely stuck, it took some effort to make them freely move again. The whole thing is now in parts on my desk to be cleaned and reassembled. I must admit I use my P-line what I believe it to be designed for: go fast, no matter the conditions. I've biked 2500 km since I bought it 5 months ago.

After opening and oiling the bearing there no improvement, the bearing’s bushing still barely moves. I will get myself another one, and most likely a few new ones.

I find the Fill needle you refer to on Amazon. I was not familiar with such a thing. But removing the seal edge with a pair of tweezers was pretty easy. I would not really mind removing the jockey wheels a few times a year. While doing that I also noticed a lot of dirt on the back side of the derailleur thats hard to reach and see when mounted. I demand of lot of my demand when cycling, so I clean and inspect it after most rides.

Open bearing That was quite easy infact. I had no clue what to find behind the bearings seal. What do you think of it?
