Thanks Jerry. s this jubilee clip a commercial product or a DIY stuff you made? If it can handle the weight, it greatly interest me :) ps: looking at it again, it seems very DIY. So you basically drilled a flat hole in order to put the jubilee clip? It would probably make sense for me to drill...

yeah the bloc still fit with 1 screw. But I think it's better to have something strong rather than a clip. I have a quite heavy bag (14 kg). For those interested, here's the amount of damage I unfortunately did: Glue is doesn't work at all... What I have is way too heavy. Have to go to a...

Thanks a lot John, and also Dave. I'll definitely consider what you propose. But I'm a big guy now. I want to be able to fix it on my own. will try it first by myself. This morning the glue seems ok. Wait and pray!!! Cheers and thaaaanks again

Already put the glue.. this one has always been reliable. I'll test it initially to see if it can handle the weight. I've put load of glue, so better test it and see how it goes

I tried some industrial super glue to see if it works better than the dp420. Will see how it goes. Next step is indeed the car shop. Welding is required as the level of damage on the thread is quite extended (imagine 2 hours using a hammer drill on a thread...) Thanks for the proposition...

DP420 doesn't work. It's not strong enough.... Last chance... the car welding shop

I'm sure it can be fixed. Worse come to worse I'll bring it to a car shop and ask them to weld me an extension. The bike worth too much to me to be sold :)

Thanks Jerry and Neptune. I unfortunately already messed up with my thread so only glue can help now... I haven't cycled with my Direct drive motor brompton since many months now... I'm pleasantly surprised how smooth it is. Acceleration is rubbish, but at the same time it's so quiet and...

Hopefully I have the spare brompton I quickly bring it back to work. (Thanks John :)) I think it's probably better to wait 24h to let the DP420 to cure completely (24H at 24C). Will see tonight if the glue is as strong as people says.

My drill bit is HSS Cobalt. Same issue, it wasn't drilling properly. And I don't see how I can use a drill press on the front side of my brompton..

Finger crossed again. I hope the DP420 can save the game tomorrow morning when I'll go to work...

I had an 90 degree angle and HSS drill bit. I adjusted different speed but had the same result. I've never been that inefficient when drilling. 2 hours drilling for failled thread. The hole is now so big only glue can save the game. 90 degree angle wasn't good? And is there any ready to...

Drill through steel is the toughest job I ever had. Didn't know it would be so difficult. Drill through aluminium is like cutting butter compared to that.

Sorry guys, I was on a rush and was trying to drill it. Tried first with a hammer drill and after 1 hour it didn't go very far. Continued another hour with a standard mode, but didn't go too deep as it was dangerous. Finally the thread are all expanded and even an M10 bolt wasn't big...

Using my hammer drill. Drilling the same hole since 45mn no big results. These bolt are so difficult to drill.

After thousand of miles, my Brompton finally reached its limits. The front bloc bolt snapped and the 14kg battery bag was hanging with only 1 bolt remaining. I decided to completely remove the bag and attach it on my rear rack. It was the most awful journey back home I ever had. 4 miles...

Interesting idea. Carrying functions seems limited however

One answer: It depends :p

The difference between Uk, germany and netherland? INFRASTRUCTURE. Road are safe to ride as bicycle there. In UK it's damn dangerous. Most people i know refuses to cycle for safety reason.

Don't know where to put the motor and controller yet... but the fork can be extended as it is steel. None of the bike showed from japan or wherever fold AS SMALL as the one here. And this one rolls once folded :cool:
