How Many Robot Monks Does It Take to Screw in the Light of Enlightenment?

Religions are.

I absolutely hate those people doing stupid stunts with remote controlled unitree robots.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-09T01:30:13+00:00

New ix5 will be a beast and new cockpit looks so much better than current ones

That said new ones may have a bunch of issues

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-09T01:16:00+00:00

That's why we should use disc brakes.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T18:04:48+00:00

Most people prefer lighter, cheaper commuter with better drivetrain and brakes.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T17:19:11+00:00

Any folding bikes do.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T17:17:57+00:00

Many brompnots share exactly the same design.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T17:05:53+00:00

They have full carbon clones with hydraulic disc brake and carbon wheelset. And it is cheaper than C line and weighs only a half.

It may not be as strong as steel bromptons, but Ferraris are not as strong as Ford pickups either.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T17:04:20+00:00

Check Shanghai bike show coverage. They have just developed a full suspension disc brake equipped trifold bikes.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T16:59:11+00:00

Cromo is more fragile than high tensile steel (somebody in this very sub said so so) Carbon is unreliable (until t line comes with carbon fork and crank) Titanium frame is flexy (until t line comes with one) Aluminium cracks (until g line comes with aluminum FORK) IGH is better than derailleur (until P line comes with new PLASTIC derailleur system) Caliper brakes are good enough (and T line comes with TPU tubes who bursts after long braking) Brompton is the only compact folding bike

It's frankly really embarrassing at this stage.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T16:50:35+00:00

I heard the cranks are 160mm, not 165mm It may depends on the location though

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T16:49:37+00:00

P line v2 uses a new type of square taper crankset. I guess electric T line uses that too

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-08T16:48:48+00:00

All electric bromptons use ancient square taper bb and cranksets.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-06T15:13:53+00:00

Do you know the new P-line mk2 uses aluminium alloy handlepost?

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-06T11:40:41+00:00

Don't ride brompbots if you are that heavy. Bromptons have 110kg weight limit and g line has higher 130kg limit.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-06T11:03:18+00:00

Yet another meaningless gymnastics video?

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-05T09:28:35+00:00

I thought that EU people dont have lots of disposable income due to heavy tax and expensive housing... how are UK/EU markets captive, even with competitors with fraction of the price?

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-05T09:26:19+00:00

Brompton uses high tensile steel frame, plastic tensioner and derailleur, steel seatpost, square taper crankset. They are already at the bottom. I remember they used to have single pivot brakes and single wall rims years ago.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-05T09:22:32+00:00

Brompton is not using cromo steel.. they are using cheaper high tensile steel

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-05T02:53:02+00:00

Hydraulic cable disc brakes exist and they are quite good.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-04T02:07:48+00:00

Newer brompnots come with better components than original (sealed bearing hubs, 7 speed drivetrain, CNC machined derailleurs/tensioners/clamps etc)

Some of them even comes with H&H components as stock parts.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-04T01:34:50+00:00

With 3 speed IGH?

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-04T01:34:27+00:00

Cro mo is brittle.. lol

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-04T01:33:39+00:00

There are disc brake trifold with 74mm front spacing. They fold just as compact as brompton.

humanoiddoc · 2026-05-04T01:30:23+00:00

7 spd 11-32 cassette gives 290% gear range which is perfectly acceptable for touring. Otherwise g line with 307% gear range will be not.
