    I purchased the discontinued Brompton T-Bag for grocery shopping and touring, and went out for a ride to see how much stuff I can fit inside this bag. It's a LOT.
    it goes without saying that I love the Brompton folding bike to run errands in the city, and the Brompton T-Bag just makes the bicycle much more capable in terms of cargo capacity.

    Thank you for this video! I ordered the Brompton Borough Rolltop bag for the same purpose- weekly grocery shopping. There are some delays with the delivery of my B75 and the Borough bag given the current situation, but keeping my fingers crossed that they'll be ready for collection soon.

    You make some good points I especiallylike the netting idea. Im a courier and the way you packed your shopping is typical of how my bike looks and my bag has stood the test of time. handle bar mobility can be an issue but I usually cruise in such a crammed bag scenario so i reduce the likelyhood of having to make any extreme turns.

Thank you very much! I plan to bike packing in Holland soon, if you ever come to Lisbon with your Brompton I would be more than happy to show you around.

    I bought my T-bag with my Brom in 2012 and it has 3x elasticated mesh pockets (left & right and a big front pocket) it also has a yellow interior, best of all it has 2x velcro strips with keepers that allow the bag to be closed without rolling the top down, so it can be overfilled way beyond its 31 litre capacity. It’s rear pockets are a zip pocket on the left and a drawcord closure open pocket on the right with a small drain hole, both pockets can take a 750ml water bottle.

    For those looking at buying this - it has a rain cover! - behind the yellow zip. Works well but you get water gather on top. Also doesn’t cover the rear bottle or rear compartment. It will fit a large laptop in it and a change of clothes when you get to work. Usually you would roll the top of the bag shut. Pocket in the front for a waterproof and side pockets for a spare tube or a train ticket. There is a zip compartment inside for a mobile or trinkets.
    Also comes with a carry strap.

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for sharing that info! I actually didn't realize it had a rain cover. This wasn't really supposed to be a review or an unboxing since it's extremely hard to find this model nowadays, but your information was really helpful. Thanks!

  • @zorglubjm

    You have to be more careful regarding, not only the weight but the centre of gravity of that weight. I've done several times what you've shown in this video and I broke one bag frame. The problem seems to be the balancing of the bag while riding. If you can keep the heavier items in the bottom of the bag, you should be fine.Regarding the T-Bag vs the newer bags, I've the Explore edition one and for everyday use I think its much better and refined than the T-Bag. The rear pouches are much nicer with the magnets closure, the front pocket can be closed and the main compartment has a protected computer zone. When you walk around with the bag, the absence of a rigid handle, makes it much more comfortable. On the other hand, nothing can beat the T-Bag for grocery shopping and travelling by plane :-)

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for your opinions on the newer bag! I wish I could've seen both in person (maybe I'd have gone for the newer one?). But I'm satisfied with this older one. I wanted it for a long time, you know? When I heard the news it was being discontinued, I immediately looked for one! Ahah

    I have the old school T Bag. I love the crap out of it! The inside is a bright yellow to see everything inside. I wished the front wasn't such a flimsy mesh pouch though, but I also don't want the fabric like on yours. The size of the thing is so awesome. You should incorporate compression packing cubes for some better organization. :D

  • @stephenschuit7880
    @stephenschuit7880 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Several years ago, before biking around Europe's 2nd largest lake, Lake Balaton in Hungary, a friend lent me his T-Bag to try it out. The lake is 150-miles around and I took it casually over parts of 5-days. I had all my clothes and gear in the T-Bag. It was flawless. I never felt the weight up-front and found the slots around the bag, several of which stretch, functioned perfectly. I immediately went out and bought my own T-Bag after the bike trip. Having both the S-Bag (day to day usage) and T-Bag (for high capacity requirements) gives you lots of flexibility with your Brompton.

    I have the original touring bag which has an ALL steel frame, NO PLASTIC. I can and have got masses of stuff in it. It's like a tardis. Unfortunately the fabric isn't water proof so I bought several external rain covers so when needed I put two on, one over the other, to keep the contents of the bag dry. It works.

    I regularly "overload" my T-bag to 15-20kg when grocery shopping and so far i've never ever had a problem. What's more, when I do this I typically am also wearing a rucksack with an extra 10-15kg+ and I weigh ±90kg. I did in the past worry a bit about this but have worried less since querying WBA (Will Butler-Adams the MD and major shareholder of Brompton Bikes) at a Brompton event many years ago, and he said he didn't foresee a problem.
    That said, he often (modestly!!) claims he is no Brompton expert, and it is true that the technical department advises against exceeding 10kg front and 10kg rear. Anyway, for what it's worth that's my personal experience, and I've now been riding a Brompton and car-less since 2005.
    Btw thanks to your excellent 6 accessories video, the Topeak Cargo Net is definitely on my To-Get list. As is the amazing X-Roller Eazy Wheel Extender 😉.

    The newer Borough Roll Top bag with the soft handle can be used on the straight S-bar Bromptons, whereas the T-bag with hard handle was not considered suitable. That matters little for your H configuration though. I have recently bought the Borough Roll Top (for my M6L) and am very pleased with the 28 litre capacity, but am intent on keeping to the 10kg all up weight for safety and component longevity😊 I have been very impressed with the way the bike remains stable, comfortable, and still fun to ride when the bag is at capacity. Yes, a little more air in the front tyre can be helpful.

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Borough is beautiful from what I've seen in pictures. I'm glad you're satisfied! To be honest, since filling it up all the way will probably exceed the weight limit, those 3L difference in capacity is not a big deal at all... I still prefer the rigid handle, but maybe I'm old school. Ahah I'd love to have compared both side-by-side in person, but it wasn't possible. Anyways, these bags do a huge difference when using the bike. It remaisn very stable indeed!

    I used that model T-Bag on my Europe tour last year. My biggest complaint was getting the rain cover on it when the bag was full (I got a lot of rain on that trip!) I kept bulky items in the T-Bag (to save weight), and used dry-bags on the rack for the heavy camping gear. For commuting around Dallas, I just use the 2019 basket. Touring with the Brompton was great - especially the flying.

    I have the same exact bag you have. I use it every day (for three years) with a laptop inside, books and notebooks and works perfectly fine. Not a single rip. But I never have filled it as much as you. If I have to carry more stuff, I have the rear bag. When I'm riding for pleasure this bag it's bulky. That's because I turn to the rear bag. But I've done lots of km with de T-Bag and the only problem I've experienced is when the wind blows against me. In long trips I use the T-Bag and the rear bag at the same time. And there's people who add a third bag, a saddle bag, but I can't tell you how does it feels when riding.

    Not sure where you are grocery shopping, but I've switched to using the Kroger scan it yourself shopping app so that I can pack my panniers as I go. I have a Tern GSD (electric assist), so overall weight isn't the issue, it's balance. BTW, I second the suggestion of utilizing the rear for some of your cargo. I had some Wald fold down baskets zip tied to my old Specialized Hardrock, and they held quite alot. I'm keeping them around for when my daughter is big enough to ride a 20" wheeled bike. Don't know how they would interact with the folding, though.

Also, it's not unusual for one tyre to seem like it's always lower than the other. Usually it's a minuscule leak from the valve. I check my tyres every ride on my road bike and at the moment the front is always a bit lower. It's fine for the ride. But yup, maybe put a little more pressure in the front to stop any bottoming out onto the rim in potholes. Any reason you prefer to load up the front, rather than the pannier at the back?

    • @EverydayCycling
      @EverydayCycling  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The digital scale idea is good, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how much I can fill it up before reaching the limit. I'll test on the next supermarket run. And yes, I should definitely check both tires before going out, because it could be a minor leak indeed. I'll also try carrying some cargo on the rear rack next time. I just wasn't completely prepared this time. Hahah I was too confident the T-Bag would do it.

    Thanks for the video insight. I saw that you put around 115kg or 250lbs on the Brompton on that grocery store commute. I put around 220lbs (rider+cargo) on my full size bikes whether it be a road, gravel, or mountain bike on my daily bike commute to work. How much weight do you think the Brompton supports before it starts affecting the durability or handling of the bike? Of course, this is also considering that you have evenly distributed the weight. I know Brompton flexes so that is something I am curious about before deciding getting a Brompton myself. I'm a heavy rider too.

      with high pressure in the tires and a bumpy road the tbag can be too big. and 10 kg too much...

    Hello again,
    thank you for the informative video.
    10:16 Is the carrier block designed for 10kg because it is plastic, or can the screws handle a maximum of 10kg?
    Otherwise you could buy an aluminum carrier block and drive a few more kilograms with you around.
    The 10KG are reached faster than you think. As an alternative would go at most a suitcase scale to weigh it on the road.
    Thanks a lot
    juck.

    I was touring in Sweden using the T-Bag, suddenly I started noticing some unusual movements. So I stopped, checked, and noticed that one of the two screws broke *inside* the frame :-( I managed to finish my tour but yes, here just to say you should definitely watch out and check that the bag+contents do not weight more than 10 Kg.

    I discovered that the drawstring water bottle pocket will actually hold a full 2 litre bottle... same size as large Coke bottle.
    Yes, it is a pretty tight fit, and 1/5th of your total load capacity (10 kgs) is used all in one go, but it does fit in without straining the stitching or anything. Just slacken the drawstring as far as it will go.
    Note: Sample variation may mean that not all T-bags will do this, but it's gotta be worth a try.

    Nice bag. It would be a good idea to distribute the weight evenly front to back. Better for the Bike and for you. Find a bag for the rear to compensate your weight. Load the front 2/3 to capacity and the rest in the back.

      I think the rear rack bag on Brompton is pointless because it simply interferes with the fold and that is the main feature of this bike. What is the point of having a rear rack bag that you have to remove before entering the store to fold the bike?

      The limit would still apply in my opinion. There are several places where the assembly could fail (frame, attachment bolts, luggage block, attachment at the bag), so even if you replace the luggage block by a titanium one, the bag could still break, or one of the bolts.
