    ...just one XT60 connector. In other news this bracket from Aliexpress arrived today: The bolt holes are elongated, which means it will accept bolts 30mm apart, which means it fits the Carrera, which means it opens up a whole world of Brompton style bags etc. which can be simply clipped in...

    The Anything Thread that is Never off subject.

    i often considered a moulton, but somehow never got around to one yet, it sounds good.

    The Anything Thread that is Never off subject.

    The Brompton has all the faults you describe Jonathan, but I think Andrew Ritchie - its designer was focused on creating a folding bike which could collapse into the neatest, and smallest package for taking on public transport, or into an office or small urban flat. I note that they now make a...

    The Anything Thread that is Never off subject.

    Change of subject, I know, but have you tried a birdy? I have a Brompton, thought for years the cramped cockpit, severe road buzz from rock hard little tyres, primitive fork and odd geometry was just me. Even fitted a rohloff to it, but never enjoyed it. Then, year ago or so, picked up mk2 birdy...

    @PeteThePen - What does your electric titanium Brompton weigh? You're keeping @StuartsProjects in suspense, and I don't think he likes that sort of thing.

    Brompton Blues

    ...was won by an Oxygen MTB with a 250w Bafang CST hub-motor ridden by their warehouse assistant, who's only experience was riding his catalogue bike the one mile to work when it wasn't raining. IIRC, the previous year was won by a Brompton with a 48v hub-motor. If it didn't win, it got second...

    ...in Aberystwyth in western Cymru (Wales). As most of you will know Cymru is a land of Dragons and Hills so my 20 year old 6 speed a la cart Brompton has been struggling. It seemed sensible, therefore, to splash some of the Kids Inheritance (there being no kids) and get a 12 speed T Line...

    Swytch motor (Brompton) dragging.

    It's been quite a while I've had my 2nd Gen Swytch Pro kit on my Brompton and it has been a pretty reliable after they replaced they controller. Anyway, sadly, today's the day, pretty much exactly 5 years later, I noticed the hub no longer freewheels when the power is disengaged. It still works...
