We made a mistake when fitting the rear reflector (or dynamo light in our case) - the brackets should be under the rack with the bolts screwing in from the top! Thanks for pointing out our error!

Aaahh! If only I'd seen this comment before following your installation video...the threads sheared off the bracket when I put the screws in from below so I can't install my reflector 😢.

Ha! I thought that before I read the comment! The captive nut would be on the wrong side of the reflector bracket. Great videos BTW! Keep 'em coming. 👌

Racks add a lot of stability for train commuters. I have installed these on several Bromptons including the electric I have now. One thing I noticed was the you put the dynamo light bracket on top of the rack rather than underneath and having the button head screws be recessed in rack top. I put the brackets underneath the rack because I needed every millimetre of cabling length from the rear light to make it fit properly without straining the light connections. 15:17

Thanks for watching and the feedback The rack stability on trains is one of the best features (we've seen bikes fall over when the train goes over points before) of the rack. We almost added it to the video but thought it was a bit long already The way you installed your brackets was correct - we did it not according to the instructions - thanks for pointing it out

Cable ties - if snipped just below the ratchet block (the "fat end" of the tie) then the old ties can be reused around a smaller tube, eg around the rear rack stays.

I managed to fit my rack without removing the wheel. The mudguard bolt near the rear sprocket can be left in place (If you have mudguards fitted in the first place that is!) A brake block needs to be removed to get the wheel out.

I left the wheel in place, and it was fine too. I did deflate the rear tyre to let me move the brakes up over the tyre to give easier alignment when reassembling the brake spindle. I hate realigning brake pads so left them untouched.

Could you please make a video about changing the brake pads and adjusting the brakes correctly? I always watch your videos when I modify something on my Brompton, a video about this is missing. I replaced the pads on my C-Line last weekend and am now wondering whether the rear brake should apply itself when folded😄 Greetings from Germany!

I haven't googled this yet but i wonder if theres a flat, square sort of rack that clips into the front of the bike on the bag mount thing - if the rack were pizza sized then perfect for your task and you can keep an eye on it too. I lost bread, a hat and a tomato off my rack over the rear wheel while cycling in France without me noticing.

Wonder why Brompton rear mudguard sits on the horizontal brace? I always find that it deforms the mudgard a little. The mudguard can go just below the that part of the rear triangle and it wouldn’t interfere with wheel rotation but will keep the frame clean and possibly prevent rust.

The small, original wheels are - mostly useless and only to make the customers buy larger versions, preferably from Brompton! But I bought my second and third sets as Nicely Made, special wheels from Asia, with spokes and a fitting color! I have two Titanium carriers ready for my now much modified, 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton (for now 8,5 kilo, and still falling, in spite of my Mudguards, as a "Rainy Dane"!!!), but I have never felt a need to add them to the bike, as I prefer the bag in front, to be removed, when not needed! I also use frame-locking wheels with a - stop bolt, not to be able to unscrew and loose them by accident (as I did once in a wood, when trying to reach my "toolset" in the frame)! I will never more stand looking at the thick layer of leaves in the bottom and wonder: Where did my "bolt" end up? But I have a titanium bolt and "Carbon stop-disc" on my bike for less weight, as well as most other, original looking - discs, nuts, axle and bolts on my bike + some extra brake parts, looking like the original brakes (I still need to change a few bolts, as Brompton seems to have constantly changed sizes of brake parts during the years, just for the fun of it, or what was available from the Factory producing them?). I assume that also the most early Bromptons was able to brake? I hope to be able to reach close to 8 kilo, when finished, and still with my mudguards on my bike! Finn. Denmark
