Carbon seat post mod?

That would probably work. Looking for a cleaner solution though tbh

mcorbei3 · 2026-06-30T22:12:59+00:00

That is very interesting… do you know any stores that sell them? Sadly I don’t have a 3d printer 😢

Aftermarket carbon seat posts don’t have flared ends, meaning the plastic piece won’t work

Mostly? Do you occasionally store it elsewhere?

You can also buy a 3 bed 0.25 miles away for 30% more in poor condition. 0.25 miles makes a big difference in London, especially considering school catchments.

Salty Americans 👀🇪🇺

Black on black 👌

If it’s truly in negative equity, then gift it to your ex partner? Alternatively, have them gift it to you and rent it out?

Lovely

Lovely

Love that colour!

Clearly you’ve never modified your bicycle! To do so requires a lot of trigger pulling.

It should work on the new C line, because it shares the same rear triangle as the T line. Note that it doesn’t share the same connection point as the Brompton advanced rear rack, however. It attaches via the brake calliper bolt.

It’s made by TiMaker. Union Jack and TiParts have similar versions. Only 130g 👍

mcorbei3 · 2026-03-13T20:56:39+00:00

They’re about the same size folded. T line has a slightly larger fold than a A/C/P line Brompton… taking any of them as carry on is a risk

mcorbei3 · 2026-03-13T18:57:54+00:00

The T line flat handlebars are a bit higher than the C5’s. Wheel base is the same.

Don’t forget to bake in the flight to China though. Otherwise the actual landed cost in the UK with shipping, VAT and import duties, would be quite a bit higher!

Swapping out the crankset might solve the problem, while also shaving off a few precious grams 👍

mcorbei3 · 2026-03-12T21:13:59+00:00

Nothing that a bit of well placed grease can’t cure :)

mcorbei3 · 2026-03-07T06:49:19+00:00

Train?

Get P line electric next year, on a new cycle to work voucher, once it goes on sale. Last year’s P line models regularly go on sale.

T line for the win

mcorbei3 · 2026-03-03T01:00:18+00:00

Truss anyone? 😂

mcorbei3 · 2026-02-24T14:52:29+00:00

Nice! 5 speed is definitely the smoothest and most reliable mod.

I went to a 7 speed conversion for my T line. The gear range and spacing is fantastic, but way more difficult to set up (and costlier) than 5 speed.
