Well done! I watched it even though I don’t need the bridge. For a light mount I use the two-fish lockblock mounted with two zipties right in the middle of the steering wheel on top of that screw…. Surprisingly sturdy. And I can still angle the light up and down (a little). For the phone: nite ize has a nice mount which places the phone next to your grips. A fancy (fanaue) mount does the same but mounts the phone in the middle. My nav app is my speedometer.

Just thinking, could just adding two Velcro strap with buckle @ the saddle replaced the "Seat loop bar"? Will it be lighter, easier to strap and more versatile for other usage?
@Bokooda
6 ай бұрын
Yes that would work too, but would depend on what you want to carry. You may have to use a lot of Velcro/strapping. A bar means you can carry quite a bit of weight and keeps the straps apart, rather than pulling together. All depends on what you want to carry. The bars only a few grams in weight… 👍

Thanks so much for making this video. Is your tent the Forclaz MT 900? I’ve been tempted by it but was put off as I wanted to be able to pitch the outer tent first. Your video may have just sorted my problem for me! Now I just need to find out whether the mesh inner is fine enough to prevent the wonderful Scottish midge from joining me whilst I sleep!
@Bokooda
6 ай бұрын
Yes, it’s the MT 900. Excellent tent. I mentioned in the description that you can pitch outer first using the footprint or this ‘hack’ . The mesh is very fine, but those Scottish midgies are a very clever beast, I’m sure they’ve worked out how to undo tent zips… 👍

Wonderful stuff! I’m heading to Lowes right now. Also, once I cut a zip tie ( cable tie if you will) there invariably seems to be sharp bit that stabs my finger or catches on something. I discovered that nail clippers cut that bit off flush and the universe unfolds as it should. Again……thanks for this great clip. Oh……and your workshop? Never mind the cleanup…..and you can tell the Mrs I said so…..

Nice! Any reason (outside weight) one wouldn't want to use one piece of aluminium handle bar and fit that in a similar way? These Brompton handlebar bridges are hard to get online...

I’m sure you could create something very similar using aluminium tubing, but it’s not something I have easy access to… no idea what the minimum length you can buy is either… ‘spose you could cut down some handle-bars to fit 👍

Possibly, but as both ends aren’t sealed to the handlebar ‘exactly’, any water that gets in will drain out. You could always drill drainage holes if wish. Thanks for the comment. Enjoy 🙏

It provides space for instruments, is compatible with a Klickfix bracket, and doesn’t interfere with the fold. And it costs next to nothing to make.

I think the T bag is worth the price, glad I got one - I use it for everyday use too. I just used a regular daypack on the rack attached with a basket net and hanging off a bit of hard plastic tubing wrapped in bike tires attached to the saddle loops with toe clip straps. I put corks on the end of mine - but those knobs are a better idea. I leave that little bag that came with the brompton hanging between the backpack and the seatpost, useful for holding little bits.
