Have had my T line one year love it. Stays in my trunk I still laugh every time I lift it out the car as it is so light.
Thanks for the update Shu. Really glad the T Line's going strong. How I wish mine was squeak free ;) Hope you and the family have a great summer.
I agree with all the statements you've made. For me 4 gears is perfect for NYC. I had the 6 Speed Superlight and I found I only used mainly 2 gears so for me the 4 Speed is perfect. My frame has some scratches here and there, made some mods, but i think that if something happened to this bike I would buy another without question. For me it was a big upgrade from the 6 Speed Superlight. They feel like 2 completely different bikes. The Superlight plods along but the T just wants to go!
Love this bike. I'm coming up to 2 years on my T-Line too and it's holding up great. Couple of observations from discussions with other T-Line owners. I've never had problems with gears slipping myself but others who've gone with after market tensioners or derailleurs like you have faced issues. Creaking is generally a problem for heavier riders and yes, tightening and greasing eliminates plus do remember to apply grease on the inner surface of the hinge clamps. I've changed to a 56T chainring and 11,13,17,21 (11, 13 stock) cogs and the resulting wider gear ratios on both ends has been the best upgrade by far. I'm still running the stock tensioner & derailleur which is almost bomb-proof.
The Praxis BB and cranks are super sweet. I have em on my B75.
I love the price too!
Thanks for the video, I hope you and family are doing well. Hello from Atlanta. By the way I still love my T Brompton
Hi Victor! I am glad you are still enjoying your T-Line down south. I can't believe how time flies!
こないだ購入して喜んでたのが もう2年！早いですねー😮
Is it already 2 years. 😮
Man, I feel old now.
Everytime i watch one of your Brompton videos i also want to have a t-line :)
I also like your honest and simple made video format and your cruising videos.
Thank you and greetings from Germany!
Shu in da' hoouussse! Was looking forward to this update to see how the T-Line was aging and, like you, it's aging beautifully like a fine wine. It looks practically brand-new and the few scratches and patina it does have shows how much the bike has been loved. The T-Line is terrific and your channel has been instrumental into me getting a T-Line also. Can't wait to see how the rest of the bike is holding up. It's crazy that your carbon chainring looks to be doing great too. Since your build, are there any other chainrings or parts that you would swap out for the parts you have now? I like your idea of the 12-speed but I love the single chainring more. Would perhaps get a couple of more cogs in the back for higher gears or, perhaps, get a Rohloff speedhub. I'm not convinced either way. Your 4-speed is a minimalist masterpiece... alright alright.
I am always looking for different gear to use lol. I already have a few parts inbound that I hope to get soon. I love trying out new gear.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Shu. I found the most beautiful custom titanium bikes in the world, from Sturdy Cycles in the U.K. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Are there any parts you would be interested in trying out on your T-Line, like the Titanium 3D printed crankset? Yes, all these stunning titanium parts will cost a small fortune and perhaps add more weight to your bike than your featherlight carbon parts, but the beauty and longevity of Sturdy Cycle parts is unmatched.
They do look nice. I scratch my crank arms on the ground on turns and waiting at the light so I would not want those lol. It woul be painful to damage them they are so expensive.
Class video, love your bike
As an owner of a now much former than 2019 Superlight, now below 9 kilo, with mudguards (( What's left of the original bike) I'm a Rainy Dane), I would be scared of mud and water coming down on the crank and ball bearings in front, from the strange holes. I like the new and replaceable hinges, but I don't use it daily, as now 76, so it isn't a problem for me. And I have 6 gears, of which some are so low that I didn't know for what use I had them, till I met a serpentine road and had to walk on top! Finn. Denmark
…but was it worth $5K?😆
It is worth it.
If one consider it is a piece of Art n original work. Yes it is that much.
If anyone wants an equally light tri-fold, there are aluminum brompnots for 1/5th the price. Not good for long rides due to the stiffness but if youre just a short distance rider, there you go
Seatpost slipping ruins the experience for me. Someday will have to figure out how to permanently modify so no slip occurs.
Had Ti on my Brompton…so finished is not smooth as the plated steel or carbon one….no slippage in my experience…just an Aliexpress jobbie one.
The only solution that I have seen that works is adding a secondary clamp directly on the seatpost. People will buy quick release clamps and modify it. I have no experience with it, but I have heard it works well for people that have extended seatpost or are at the heavier weight end.
Change a 58T oval front chain ring. You will love the feel while climbing and on flat.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been wanting to try one in the future.
Hi, I'm not a fan of 12-speed because everything becomes much thinner and the chain stretches faster. Prefer 7-speed, but due to access to parts I am now on 9-speed, prefer chainring in stainless steel or titanium and titanium cassette.

Curious your thoughts on Hummingbird folding bike. Has a belt drive option which is nice, doesn't fold as compact tho. Carbon instead of Ti.
That is a nice design. I have seen many great designs but I love the B fold. The folding design is what does it for me. That said, I do have other bikes that are much better than the Brompton but for different purposes/rides.
thanks for the video....when you do next T-Line video for parts can you please add the chainring too....just needed to know if the chainring is the spider kind...its a five bolts so you can change the chainring with any kind of road bike chainring size....i got a 75T on my C-Line...on earlier videos on T-Line i think they have a different kind of chainring
Praxis sells botht he BCD 110 and BCD 130 spider so you can choose which chain ring size you will need. On my T I have a 110 but my superlight has the 130 so I can use the stock Brompton chainring. There are more 130 chainrings for the Brompton but most road bike chainrings are 110.
@@BromptonFamilyTime great....thanks for the reply back....looks like i can use either one.....excerpt from Amazon......Driveline AL7075 Road Bike Bicycle TT Chainring 75T, BCD 110/130mm, Black,ST1496-N
Interesting design. 75T is HUGE!!! You may run into other problems when folding the bike. I would check the REDDIT forums and see if you can find out the max size.
@@BromptonFamilyTime as long as T-Line crank has a 5 bolt 130mm BCD, you can take any size road bike chainring....75T will not be able to fold the Brompton cz the big chainring is on the way....i have to use a velcro on mine
Abraço, muito cara essa linha t nova
Have you had any experience with the Chris King headset making noise and becoming loose after a while?Mine get loosen after 200km of use after installation, had to tighten it twice since install
On a TLine?
No problems on the T Line CK headset. The superlight need to be adjusted once when I first installed it. Did you install it yourself? If you go to the CK website you can order replacement parts if something is worn out. I would reach out to CK and see what they say. The superlight CK headset is tricker to tighten by design.
BFT..I forgot the handlebar length after cut. I may want to do it, could you tell me 🥸
It's worth it for shorter riders. I think taller riders with wider shoulds may find it more comfortable to have the wide bars though.
@@BromptonFamilyTime BFT..what length you cut yours too? How much off center?
I just matched the length of the S Type. I don't remember the measurements but that is an ideal width for me.
have had my brompton (not T) for 12 years and almost never wash it
