- In this video, we show the essential spare parts kit, we bring for all our Brompton bicycle touring. It is relatively light weight and build as a practical toolkit to keep our Brompton folding bikes going under most circumstances.

Excellent. That is more than we bring, you have us worried now. Some questions:
- So you bring a complete set of brake/speed cables? (Front/rear brakes, left/right shifters: Total 4)?
- Your BB might need replacing while on a trip despite 800km inspection?
- Some suggest a spare gear tensioner, your opinion?
- We use an old fashioned tube patch kit (not much success with self-adhesive ones)
- Was there a small object tucked in the folded tire?
- No zip ties?
- No tire boot patch?
- No chain breaker tool (besides the Wolf Craft plier). Maybe part of the Topeak multitool?
- Spoke key? (Part of Topeak multitool?)
- Careful with that Daiso rear light, don’t want to dazzle anybody (back home) with that :-)
Have a good trip.
😂😂😂First of all: Gilbert, you are the adult here, YOU are supposed to help US with those questions.😁 You guys motivated us to show our travels, we always were too shy and lazy 🫣
- Yes, a complete "set" of 4, only Bowden cables
- BB is a crucial one. I rather leave it in as long as possible (or until it breaks 😂) cause I don't wanna push my luck to far with the plastic threads
- extra chain tensioner is a yes from me. Ours last for around 6000km now, that's more as I expect from a plastic piece.
- that was the Fiberfix spokes thing, I stuff these and the chain box in the tire
-zip ties yes, Forget they are in the Borough bag 🫣
- Not for the Bromptons, but in our Fatbikes
- yes, chain breaker is in the Multitool and Spoke key as well.
Have you already installed the double chainrings ?
@@thebrommuters6220 Yes, we replaced our 44T with a 33T/50T. Did a few local rides, very pleased so far. Next, we will travel with it (Bruges - Berlin). We plan a video this summer to discuss installation and field test results.
How about you-Back from Taiwan?
@@2Bikes4Adventure that's great, than you pass by my hometown Braunschweig. If you know the dates , send us a message on Instagram. Maybe we can pass by and have a coffee . ☺️
Ein extra Schaltkettchen mitzunehmen, hat uns auch mal den Arsch gerettet. 🤓 Unser Setup ist in etwa ähnlich 👌
Manche Dinge drängen sich auch ganz einfach auf wenn man mal ein paar Tage lang mehr als 70 km am Stück mit so einem Rad fahren will.
0:39 this rear light is dangerous? Wow..
It doesn't have a CE Testmark and is not registered to be StVO compliant, that means, you are not allowed to use it in public traffic in Germany, cause, you know how it is: if it's not tested, its red light isn't red enough or illuminates with a different frequency, omg, very very dangerous and illegal in Germany! Dito for: mounted to high, to low, flashing lights directly mounted to a bicycle (but mounted to the drivers helmet or backpack is okay) , but still: veeeeery dangerous and we Germans don't like that at all, jawoll! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
