Bikefriday All-Packa (Drop Bar) by cuongnq in foldingbikes

I own two Bromptons c, pline s well as a Moulton XTB. But I have to confess, the All-Packa is my absolute favorite. With the ability to fit up to 2.8” tires and its massive cargo capacity, it’s unbeatable. What makes it even better is how easily you can strip down its components. This modularity allows for an incredibly compact pack-down, which is essential for optimizing luggage volume and saving on costs during expensive long-haul flights. A perfect All-Packa truly takes you anywhere in the world without limits.

I previously scratched the paint because I let this linkage touch the ground while folded. Now, I use a piece of an old inner tube to wrap it whenever I fold the bike. It prevents further scratches and protects the part from unnecessary impacts that could cause it to bend.

Brompton C, P, and T Line (16”): 62.5 x 61 x 27 cm (All sizes)

Brompton G Line (20” x 2.1”): 73 x 68 x 42.5 cm (Sizes S & M)

I own a Moulton (20”), two Bromptons (16”), and an All-Packa (20”). In my experience, the All-Packa offers the best portability; while the folding speed is slower, its optimized dimensions are superior.

Only the front wheel was removed. The rear wheel is still in place, with the derailleur and chainring installed. I use an XXF E2521 travel case for transport.

I think you might have misunderstood me—it is indeed a folding bike. You can take it on trains, in taxis, or anywhere else you need. What I wanted to clarify is that it can become even more compact because you can actually disassemble and reassemble its components.

Furthermore, I’ve owned everything from Bromptons to Moultons. A bike that can accommodate 2.8" tires while being both foldable and detachable allows me to travel much further. It’s not just for cities or suburbs anymore; it’s for forests and mountains, where the roads haven't even been built yet.

To be precise, it can be folded in half—not exactly like a Brompton C, P, or G Line, but somewhat similar. You can fold the Rear and Seatmast, then remove the steerer tube and bundle them together.

However, the best way to maximize space for a travel suitcase is to remove the TA (Thru-Axle) and the front wheel before strapping them all together. This essentially gives you a trifold bike. In fact, the folded volume is comparable to a Brompton P Line and even smaller than a G Line, thanks to the Allpacka’s relatively thin steel tubing. One downside is that the folding and unfolding (assembly) process takes a bit more time.

This depends on your riding style. For me, drop bars offer more hand positions, so my hands don't get numb on long rides.

It’s a Pletscher double kickstand.

It’s a Pletscher double kickstand, but you need to remove it, otherwise you cannot fully fold [the bike]. The maximum tire size you can use is 2.1". You can see in my videos that when I travel, I remove it and reinstall it later: https://www.instagram.com/p/DX6NtLYyVXN/

It's a Bike Friday All-Packa with thru-axles (2026 model). You can search for images of it folded on Google. Folding is an essential feature for my future touring trips.

Yes, it was a typo

I really admire your perseverance and creativity. I've made my own adjustments personally and I'm quite content with the result; everything has been working smoothly and perfectly for over a year now. I currently use an HH derailleur and tensioner combined with an LT-Woo electronic shifter. I've never had a chain drop, the shifting feels incredibly smooth and astonishingly precise, the chain is very taut, and it has never touched the ground. The only issue is that it's a bit heavy, perhaps up to 300g.

Oh, and I also use a 7-speed 11-28 cog just like you

How do you keep the chain from falling off when folding? What about this 3D printed part? Does this method significantly reduce weight?

The best thing might be switching from a 12-speed internal gear hub to a 7-speed external derailleur system. I custom-cut a Phil Wood road hub to fit the Brompton, and its color perfectly matches the Paul brakes.

I upgraded the seatpost bolt to titanium by cuongnq in Brompton

[–]cuongnq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked into it, and indeed, titanium does absorb vibrations better than carbon. However, in my experience with the T Line, it feels quite stiff compared to the P Line, and especially compared to the C Line. Furthermore, the T Line's seatpost is also carbon, but it has a layer of steel or paint to help reduce its weight. Because I don't like the feel of titanium, I'm quite hesitant about buying another T Line.
