Brompton Borough Roller Rack Bag
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- In 2022 the Brompton P Line along with the advance rack / roller frame were launched
The advance rack is just a bit smaller than the "traditional / standard" rack used on the Brompton C line
The Brompton Rack sack has been around a long time - but it is just a bit too large for the new rack
We made a video on the old rack ... the link is below:
• Brompton Rack Sack
So now we have a new version - slightly smaller and grey in colour
This video runs through the features
I'm glad I have the original.
1). Bigger.
2). Blacker.
3). More reflective.
4). Now that I'm used to fitting them quickly and tightly, I like the simpler securing strap(s) of the previous bag.
I would prefer it to have had a rear light loop, but I'm okay because my Cateye rear light clips to the underside of the saddle.
I think the mystery edge loops may be an attempt to make the zips easier to pull, by giving you something to pull "against."
Many thanks! That makes sense!
My 2013 (I think) rack bag has the rear light loop. It would be an easy job for a shoe repair place to sew on a light loop.
The edge loops are for carrying your walking stick on one side and umbrella on the other ; why do people keep throwing things at you ? Nice video again 👍.
Many thanks! A very sensible storage solution!
And he throws things at me as I’m rubbish at catching anything!!!
@@brilliantbikes How many times did you film each of those throwing bits before you got them right? :-)
Woops! I should have watched to the end before commenting!!
Thank you Ms Brill, a lovely ray of sunshine in January😘. I thought your catching & throwing had improved till I saw the outtakes 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching!
Ah…. As much I try I am rubbish at catching anything!
👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for always showcasing all the new products coming out, so that I can make an informed decision with my purchase, a big thumb up 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
If you want a bag that allows easy folding them mounted try a bikepacking style saddle bag. They aren't as big but you can easily fold the Brompton without having to take it off and if you rotate the saddle by 180 degrees so the bag is over the top of the frame it doesn't take up any additional space when carrying on a train or bus.
Many thanks for the suggestion! Sounds like an interesting idea!
Or get a kickstand. Yes I went there. :P
@@medomaigrey7512 I have wondered if a stand can be fitted, because many places/establishments don't let people take folded bikes or folded Brompton size bags in.
I have, and prefer, the older, jet black luggage, the original T Bag and Rack Sack. That’s just my opinion 🙂
We are also fans of the T bag and still have ours going strong!
The loops on any bag are mainly there for a carabiner attachment.
Many thanks! That makes sense!
Yes, I use them when scaling the notorious northern face of the seat post to get the saddle (I have the extending seat post).
Another super fantastic detailed review ,
Probably the best in the world ever thus far. :-)
🚴🏾♀️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Love your informative videos. Looks like you have a right laugh making them.
Many thanks! And yes we manage to have a laugh 😂 making them! And don’t tell anyone the outtakes always make us laugh!
The old 16l RackSack was 40cm long, just long enough to take a Leki micro vario hikjng pole for that steep hill hike that you’ve cycled to. Anything shorter won’t fit! I’ve just read that Vincita have brought out a bigger version of their clip on rack bag - 20l plus 5l in the side pockets. Sounds a better option.
4:00 They are eccentrically English side straps, there to show you where the Brommie is made.
They still have not solved the problem of what should you do if you say go abroad with your Brompton but also may want to spend some time just walking when you have limited options / space.
I just took my Brompton from the UK to India on a plane. The only option me was a rucksack which worked well for both cycling and walking. If only they could come up with a rucksack design that can also fit on the front block or rear rack. I am not sure why they have not come up with this yet. Until then - I am sticking with a normal rucksack for at most 1/3 of the price of these over-hyped and over-priced bags that are of no use to travellers. Perhaps I am not in Brompton’s typical demographic.
The useless pocket on the racksack is for storing your d lock. Very useful when grocery shopping.
👍👍
Nice video, thanks a lot again!!
And thank you for watching!
Explaination is awesome. Great video ith funny bits.
Thank you!
Super 👍
Thanks for watching!
Edge loops Brompton owners like living on the edge of life so having a bag without edge loops is blasphemy, song for the video Livin’ on the edge -Aerosmith.
Lol! Thanks so much!
@@brilliantbikes My pleasure as always.
I suppose you could put a carabiner through those little loops and hang something off them… not sure what? A mug or keys?
Thanks for the suggestion! Next time we will try a mug!
When are they bringing out a brompton rucksack, to carry the bike on your back,
So sorry we don’t know, but the transit bag has a shoulder strap so you could carry it over your shoulder
👍👍👍👍
😀. Thanks for watching!
"keep it fully packed the whole time" - that's a lot of sandwiches and Mars bars! I bought the older black bag when I finally bought my green Brompton (still thinking like an "other kind of bike" rider) but the Velcro rear strap seems to work loose after a few miles. Any sort-of-serious suggestions would be welcomed...
A couple of mini carabiners and some bungy cord or paracord might do the trick.
Many thanks for the question. That’s very strange! Is the Velcro clean?
@@brilliantbikes Yes; used on two rides of a few miles, both in dry weather. One possible solution might be to drill a 3mm or 4mm hole through the strap at a point next to the buckle when it is pulled tight and thread an old shoe lace through it and the buckle to tie and prevent slippage.
@@platypushatstand Thank you for the suggestion - I don’t know what a carabiner is but will look it up some time soon.
Thank you for another informative video. I have the older bag. The new bag. Shrinkflation ?.
Thanks for watching and the question / comment
The new advanced roller rack (introduced with the T Line / P Line) is slightly shorter - so the new bag is designed around that rack - but will fit the older rack as it's bigger
I just use Ocado/Waitrose for my shopping ;o))))
Lol! So do I! Did we meet in there?
@@brilliantbikes - errrr they deliver, you been on the "sauce" as they say 'o))))
I think MissBrill and LotusElise are both 'asparagus girls'. 🍸🍸
Nice review. I just wondered did you purchase the bag with your own money or was it given to you by brompton?
Good question. It’s the shops bag, so we bought it.
Thanks for watching!
😀🙏
Love your videos!!! Will this new bag fit on the "regular" rack that came on the M6R? I like the feet on the bottom and the loop for the rear light. I'm just concerned that the rear attachment straps don't appear to be adjustable so I'm worried that it won't fit well on my rack. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Don't think much of the shoulder strap quick release! How does the width of the bag compare to the previous version?
Many thanks for watching! It’s a similar width, just shorter.
👍👍👍👍 that two thumbs up comment definitely deserves 4 lol lol lol
Thanks so much for watching!
I use the rack sacks useless pocket to store its rain cover for quick access
Oohhh that sounds interesting! Which rain cover do you use?
@@brilliantbikes I use the cover that came with the bag when I bought it. It fits perfectly but you can't use the velcro seat post strap when the cover is on.
@@lindaholmes1920you must have a one-off special because I‘ve never found this bag supplied with a rain cover or indeed managed to find one online designed specifically for this bag.
Does that bike have SRAM gearing, revert to my post from a few months ago ;o))))
Many thanks for the question! No it does not have SRAM gearing.
Are you folks taking orders for the new Yellow Bumblebee Brompton? I’m curious if it’s just P line or will be C line as well?
The edge loops are for asparagus smugglers.........
Ah no that’s the inside zipped pocket in the inside… we missed it on the video and I’m sure that’s it’s use!
@@brilliantbikes - That's for the small bottles of Vodka, taps nose.
@@lotuselise4432 asparagus and vodka? I think you must have some fun-filled picnics!
@@tim2015 - just don't ask for photos, okay..........
Does it not rain in the UK anymore ?
Rain in the UK? Never…..
good point! Thanks for watching!
Only in Manchester in which I am now more than ever convinced is the city that Noah built his Ark.
It is not easy 01:40 . Accept it.
Ah…. It’s true! I kind of said it before I’d finished….
If it's shorter, what does it look like on the original rack?
Why brompton expensive? is it worth the price?
Price
That’s a badly designed bag for the rear rack . The Invicta bag is way better - it simply clips into you back rack and the shoulder strap connects you demonstrated are awful - the whole thing is clumsy and I wouldn’t buy it - the Invicta is way better
They took the ancient, clumsy original, shortened it a bit, upgraded the strap design from hopeless to merely abysmal, and called it a day. Brompton design evolution through and through.
Oh, and they're still incapable of waterproofing anything 🙄
Thanks for your comments. I’m sure people will find the feedback useful!
Yes the vincita with clickfix is nice. It has some paniers which I put things in I need access on a longer trip. Jacket, food etc.
I find the racktime mounting system I have on my large bike even better
My dream rack back would be bag that mounts like racktime and doubles as a rucksack when folded or doing multi modal
If I offered 50% off the retail price of that bag could I have it? I ask because it is shop damaged where it has been badly mishandled in making the video😒Actually if you could mis-handle the latest large bag for the Brompton E-bike I would take that off your hands for 50% off instead == just to help out in the making of the video, you understand😘
Many thanks for watching 😀, they generally end up as our display models
the rack bag are not a good solution if you are always need to fold your bike
