Had brompton for 16 years and still learning. The urban decay in England means if they can't steal your bike they will trash it. Hence for me it solved the issue with Brompton. My son lives in Japan where millions of bikes are respected by people who respect themselves
I know, it’s bad in the cities at the moment. The Brompton attracts a lot of attention-good and bad.😬
The Japanese a 'people' still. A homogeneous nation. Not the divided communities we have been forced to become in the UK.
Those illegal migrants
I have had my T Bag for years, have tried other bags but this is still the best bag I've had. I use it for work and for touring
Great video. I bought my Brompton in 2018 for riding around the Dallas area. I use two bags, the basket and the same T-Bag that you got. I love them both. I took my Brompton to Europe for two weeks in 2019 and rode it through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany - 650 miles in total. I used some dry bags on the back to hold my tent and extra gear. It's a really great bike. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks, that's awesome! I can't wait to travel with my Brompton. All this covid19 business has delayed my travel plans.
I’m in Dallas too, and wondering if you found it preferable or more affordable to go to any bike shop in particular around here... I’ve just popped into the Richardson location of the R. Bike Mart and saw one Brompton on display. Don’t know if they have the best expert/s on folding bikes compared to other local shops. I hope to get the lightest possible setup since I’ll be rolling it into the store frequently to get a few heavier groceries like a big bag of dog food or couple of large milks....
bend my mind I went to Portland Oregon to get mine from Clever Cycles. That was a month before RBM became a dealer. No sales tax in OR. Easy to fly back with it. RBM is not very knowledgeable about Bromptons. I’d be happy to answer any Brompton questions
Paul Vizard Tks. I’ll keep it in mind...
88 miles! That is a decent distance in one day - dispels the myth that Bromptons are for short rides only. Lovely scenery, and the trails you used look very nice. Good move to get a bag, there is more wind resistance, but with your evident level of fitness, I am sure you will manage that well! My own roll top bag (but smaller than the T-bag) is always on the bike and I find it enhances my Brompton experience😊
I am going to look into more bags to try and find possible better options for different situations. I might try a roll top.
Ich fahre regelmässig Strecken zwischen 50 und 80 km mit meinem 20 Zoll Faltrad. Fahre lieber damit, als mit einem 28,29 Zöller...😁
Really enjoy your videos and love the Brompton, without doubt my favourite bike. Fortunately I live in London, and I can easily get any accessories without an 88 mile round trip. My Respect to you 🇬🇧
Thank you. Yes, it must be nice to have such access to Brompton parts😀
i love the way one can just stop and chill with nature on your ride. its awesome.
Watching this video from Barcelona, it was fun seeing a Brompton bag designed here and being sold in a (fabulous) Brompton store in Colorado. That design is inspired by the 'Panot Tiles', which is the name given to one of the most famous patterns on the tiles used for Barcelona sidewalks. Cheers.
OMG Boulder Creek waters were high! I loved following your journey. The "outside shots" add another dimension to the story, and the conversation in the store was so cool! Thanks for the vlog!
Everyday Cycling I appreciate your kind words. Your videos are very well done as well. Good job👍🏻 much more brief and to the point. Some people prefer that.😀
@@ibikeunfolded Thanks! Mine have been short so far, but I enjoy your long vlogs and have been watching them until the end! I may start doing some of those in a near future. Keep them coming! Btw, have you given up on a regular upload schedule? I was aiming for twice a week, but it's been hard, so I may shoot for a solid once a week. We'll see.
Everyday Cycling, I can't keep on schedule to save my life. Work is way too busy, and there are too many unexpected things that pop up and get in the way. Once a week is more doable to keep consistent, which is what I will be striving to achieve. If I can do more videos, I will, but if not, once a week will have to do.
Got my Bolt Electric from Chuck about 4 weeks ago. Chuck was outstanding in making sure my buying experience went well. I have never met as I am in Texas but highly recommend him and would buy from Freedom Folding bikes again. Chris
Chris Snyder, yes, he is not a high-pressure salesman that tries to sell you anything for the sake of making a sale. He spends an adequate amount of time answering questions and makes you feel good about whatever purchase you make. Awesome people.
Totally agreed with your comments on society we are experiencing the same here in the UK. I also thought about the T bag but went for the new medium size messenger bag. It’s a great bag really well made and holds all I need. Thanks for the great video
Thanks, I will check out the smaller and more medium sized bags to cut down on wind resistance.
What a great video you made, Brian. The way you shot gave us the sensation to be there. I appreciated your journey out of town to reach that bike shop. I wish I have such a neat shop nearby. Unfortunately, the only Brompton representative in Brazil is in São Paulo, and I live in Rio de Janeiro. Anyway, I can see in your sunburnt face you had a great time enjoying nature in Denver. Very nice!
By bike, the Brompton store was about 36 miles one way. So it’s most definitely a trek, but it definitely was worth the ride.. thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Wowwww cant wait u go as cart in future, love love love. U so polite i like to watch your video also nice to see the view in your country because i never been there. Thank you again
@Believe on Jesus Christ For Eternal Life thank you so much sir, have a nice day sir
Yes, T-bag is so practical and takes a water bottle no sweat. This coupled to the bike makes it a fast comfortable tourer.
I am loving to T bag so far. It's great.
Looks a great bike shop. Lovely to see so many Brompton bikes.
Love all the bromptons. I wish I could have one of each.
I love all your videos, which I don’t watch chronologically, and really enjoyed every part of this one. Congratulations on your new bag. Lucky to get that T Bag. Bit of envy here. lol. Thanks, again. Happy trails, stay safe.
🙏🏼🐾🎶
Thanks for the link...Brompton accessories are always a guilty pleasure!
I know..😀 being in that sore is like a kid being in a candy shop. I wanted everything.😁
brian d vlogs LMAO...I feel your pain.
That’s soo cool, the bags from Barcelona are Demano bags, I had mine delivered yesterday and it’s amazing. It’s already did it’s first ikea shop today, it’s great having a backpack for the bromy
Schwalbe recommend to change tires only when puncture protection layer or metallic cord become visible. Low tire pressure causes rapid tire wear. Thank you for your efforts from Russia.
Good to know. I changed mine when the tread was worn off, but maybe that was too early.
I definitely like your Brompton videos. I have B6R-X Brompton since 2016. I have enlightened my Brommie with many titanium parts to make it even more convenient.
Is switching some parts to titanium mainly to make it as lightweight as possible? That’s my top priority when I get a folding bike...
Great bag indeed. Grats on your new bag Brian!
I am loving it so far. Thank you.
Great video Brian! Nice and simple enjoyable video. Love seeing those cool little bike shops with all the goodies on shelves too
I was like a kid in a candy store😀
Great video! I'm running Tannus Airless Tires on my Brompton. No worries about flats and don't have to carry any stuff for tires. Love them!
Hector Gomez, wow, I will have to look into trying some Tannus airless tires at some point. No flats would be like heaven.
Good Brompton tire review here th-cam.com/video/_jk_Y0XnF2M/w-d-xo.html
Hey Brian. I love your videos. I have a Brompton - my second and totally love them but your videos have inspired me and I can see the Brompton can do so much more than I had imagined. I am so enjoying you going into the technical side in a little more depth too. Have you ever heard of the Brompton Challenge. I have seen it in London a couple of times where riders from all over the world compete in a race around cobbled streets by Buckingham Palace. The riders wear suits and ties - it's a real fun event but I reckon you would stand a chance as you are fast! Look it up if you haven't heard of it. I think you will be wanting to take part once Coronavirus restrictions allow you to.
Thank you, I appreciate that. I will check that out as well. It sounds interesting.
T bag is the best! Grocery shopping, Bike Packing, Picnicking, carry camera equipment. Can replace carrying a back pack......so many uses!
I agree.. love my T bag. Thinking of getting another one.
Thanks for this. I just bought a left hand folding pedal for my new B75 from there. They seem hard to find without price spikes, but this shop offered proper market rate. #muchAppreciated
I am glad, chuck and Laura are great, and their prices are fair.
As a Dane living just outside Copenhagen, I have several Official Brompton Dealers within a short distance from here. But they have invented the Internet for being able to buy things from all over the world So I must admit that most times I don't care but buys from the net, and from China, Korea or Taiwan, where they also make copies of the original bike, now the Patent has run out. I most times use a T-bag.
Greetings from UK.
Thank you for your video. I enjoyed seeing your ride. Almost like being there. :-)
I too made the choice of the T-bag over the newer Borough version. But I also have a C-bag.
Awesome, I have been wanting to get a smaller bag myself to cut wind resistance.
Nice getting the older style T bag cheaper then the new one. I went with the open style shopping bag, will chase up a T bag later. Still love all the cycle paths you have over there and that store was great.
Alan Gillanders if you have the s bar bike the old t bag is not compatible. I forgot to mention this in the video. Freedom folding bikes have the new frames that don’t have the plastic handle which they swapped out for me (no charge). Nice people. The frame swap made the old t bag compatible with the s bar bike.
@@ibikeunfolded all good here I have the M bars
Alan Gillanders 👍
How does the new frame looks like? Appreciate if you could share link where to get one. Tq
Great video!!! I can't stop looking at that B75
I hear the B75 is an awesome budget version. I would go for it.
@@ibikeunfolded Thanks Brian! I'm learning a lot from you!!!!
That is so awesome, I wish we had a store here in Atalanta GA. I have those tires and I love them. I’m looking at the one the first one you picked. Good choice on you bag selection.
We don’t have a store here in Denver, that’s why I had to ride up to boulder(35 miles by bike), but well worth the ride.
I'm on my third year of cycling with the T Bag. Hard to imagine that it could be improved upon. You'll love it. When loaded up to 40 lb. it does make the Brompton front heavy which only matters if you plant the front wheel in a rut or over a sandy ridge at which point you might launch, as I did last summer. Otherwise, despite the weight, the bike steers great even when carrying all kinds of stuff. Yes, the drink holder is useful!
Yes.😁 I am finding out the hard way with the weight distribution. I try to carry lighter stuff in the front bag to even things up.
Mark Nelson Are you sure you load 40 lb. My block is labeled with 10 Kg Max, which is 22 lb.
@@fernandomorua4215 Well, That may have contributed to the problem. I had a load of not too far under 40 lb once or twice... Thanks for the reminder.
Hey thank you for the tip on the store. I just placed an order of tires. :)
Awesome...i am sure they will appreciate that. They are a small business bike shop and can use all the support they can get.
Nice looking shop. Very good customer service.
Very nice vídeo, congratulación for the New bag , good choice, wating For the next vídeo 😊👍☘️
Thank you👌
I travelled with my cycle from India to Amsterdam my brother's family lives there, as there is only 1 brompton store in India and that too they don't stock everything..it was such joy to visit a brompton junction in Amsterdam 😇
I have 3 bags.
Brompton Borough, backpack and ortlieb ultimate 6 classic.
Completely agree with your comments on the protests - violence and looting doesn’t solve anything, destroys any credibility and when the circus moves on just leaves more victims. Epic ride to Boulder - looks like you have some beautiful bike trails to ride 👍 My first Brompton bag was the T and it is excellent, but I got the one with the roll top (the Borough bag you were looking at) recently because it has more capacity and I still carry a drinks bottle in the pouch facing me - just leave it unzipped! The other thing I never leave home without is the tool kit - it wasn’t cheap but has all I need for roadside crises and I love that it sits in the frame and I can just forget about it until I might need it! Really enjoying your vlogs 🌟🌟 thanks for sharing 😁
I am going to get one of those frame tool kits soon. I keep forgetting to grab one when I am up there. 😀 I don't mind going back because the ride is beautiful. Yes the protest are fine, but two rings don't make a right. Thugs and miscreants use tragedies to do what they couldn't do under normal circumstances.
Great video! I’m thinking of getting a brompton but I bought 2 bikes this year.
I never like any folding bike until recently
I started commuting to work
Thank you for watching. I ride my Brompton to work everyday. Works out great.
Looks like the T bag works just fine on an S type bike. I had thought you would need an S bag.
I got a roll top bag for my 2019 S6E bike, which is ideal. I've also just taken delivery of an "Electric" M6L in "Bolt Blue", to a factory ready spec, it's a work of art in that superb lacquer. I'm almost 68 years old, and after a cycling absence of about 14 years, on a coastline with some horrendous headwinds, I reckon I need some assistance at times.
I also purchased the "City bag" for the "Electric", for the extra capacity it gives over the basic battery bag, which accommodates little more than a mobile phone and a wallet. I'd like to retro fit the bike with black S bars (by far my preferred riding position) though I'll need to check whether this bag would fit S bars, using my S6E as the test bed.
I've also been trying to buy some mudguards (fenders) for the S6E now Winter is here, but they're unobtainable. It appears that all components are being used by Brompton to build factory ready bikes, in the most popular specifications.
Wish I saw this slightly earlier. I just bought a Brompton from REI downtown Denver yesterday and I noticed they didn’t seem to have any accessories either. Oh man they’re all the way up in Boulder. I wonder if taking a Brompton folded up on a regional type of bus works since there’s not a lot of floor space, like if I take the P bus to Parker to get my comic books or Boulder to get into the vicinity of Freedom Folding. (I have a car but I try not to use it.)
I haven't been to Denver in a long time but watching your videos, I just stumbled across the tonight
88 miles on a Brompton saddle ... That´s a tough one :-) As always, great video, also like what you said about protests and destroying properties. All the best from Germany....
Thank you, the protest are fine. It's their right. The vandalism.....well that's a different story.
I bought my first Brompton 15 years ago, the first thing I did when I bought my second Brompton was to replace the tyres with Marathon Plus. You cannot go wrong with Marathon Plus.
Yes, I am going to get a set soon.
I keep hearing about them. Will it void the warranty? Not that it matters too much, but I do wonder since I thought Brompton didn't officially recommend them.
@@helloitsdawn They are listed in my brochure for the Brompton. But due to stiff walls they are not my favourite for either my Brompton or the Moultons.
Such nice store! I’m pretty sure the store I bought my Brompton from can get some accessories, but they are stored in storeroom and warehouse rather than on display, and I the kind of person who like to browse
So do I. I like nice displays as well.
Great bike path!
Did you ride to Boulder on dedicated bike trails? Man, that's awesome. I'm in San Antonio and I stick to the bike paths here. Too many crazy drivers in my neck of the woods.
Crazy drivers everywhere. Lots of California drivers here. They will definitely kill a cyclist and not think anything about it.
Did you have issues with the t bag on your S stem? As the old t bag with the plastic handle sticking out interferes with the S stem. Newer brompton bags like the borough removed it and replaced with a soft handle. Thanks!
As soon as you began talking you got my like, you said exactly what I was thinking. Now to continue watching....
Thank you...
Just been watching a video. A guy called dion forster. He cycled 109 km. Just like you say how good the Brompton is..
I am planning on some long trips on my brompton. Hope to get some cool videos of traveling with it.
When you were checking the tyres, you should have grabbed the Brooks B17 and I can also recommend the Ergon Grips you looked at.
I should have, but I am on a budget so I have to show some restraint. I would buy the whole store if I could...
@@ibikeunfolded Glad that you thought about it. For me they are the best saddles and the Ergons are so comfortable. Was just watching your don't lock up outside after reading a lot on the Brompton Facebook about people saying it's Ok as long as you have a good lock, Good luck with that then.
dave20thmay yes, a good lock might save your frame, but the rest of the bike.......I wouldn’t be so sure. Not to mention the degenerates that like to damage things that don’t belong to them for the joy of doing it.
I agree with you opinion of the scumbags that destroy property.
I am definitely not a fan...
Nice video and nice to see the store. I recommend you getting the Ergon GP2 grips. I have them and it makes a big difference when going uphill standing and to give you alternative movement of your hands for longer rides.
Thanks, I will definitely check them out.
I wonder where they got that pic of the Beatles' Abbey Road photo with there Brompton Bikes
Maybe😁
Congratulations on your new bag! I suggest that you upgrade the grips ,too. Get an Ergon grip, you wont regret it.
Cheers!
Try the Ergon GA3
Make certain that you get thesis for your hands.
Great content
Hi buddy shout out there
From Philippines
Hello, welcome.
Hey Brian...greetings from the UK. Looks like a great bike shop & I see they stocked the Brompton electric. Have you tried one yet or is it of no interest to you? Loving the videos by the way...Keep 'em coming my friend 👍
Being an 80’s child could we possibly have more 80’s music to accompany the great videos Brian? Love watching the videos.
I love eighties music as well, but youtube is very strict about music in videos. That 5 seconds of a Belinda Carlisle song got my video flagged. So, unfortunately, I won't be able to incorporate popular eighties songs into my videos. It's a copyright thing.
I just got the S6L. What do I need to buy to use the T bag with the S bars? Do I need the new S bar carrier frame plus the T bag? Great channel!
Is that T Bag suitable for S Type handlebar?
Brian, can you tell if that suitcase with the red folded Brompton in it (6.02 sec) is a common or a special for traveling?
Hi Brian,that stream you paddled in looked wonderful,could you please tell me how many miles Brompton tyres are good for,before they need changing?
I don't know? Depends I guess. I know mine are getting worn out from all the riding. As soon as they wear all the way out, I will let you know.
@@ibikeunfolded thanks Brian,I know that it sounds like a crazy question, but reading some people's comments on Brompton tyres,they have said that they wear out much quicker on the Brompton due to the wheels being much smaller, but I don't know if there is any truth in that.i just want to know as much about the bike before I commit in buying one 👍
jut bought my first Brompton and enjoying your vids. That’s a great shop with some cool stuff. I know you don’t like leather products being vegan, that isn’t a view i share, but i think we could both agree that dudes leather clogs are an abomination!!
LOL, I never noticed his clogs. Yeah, being a vegan is not something that most people would agree with, but I don’t judge how anyone lives their life and all ask is for the same courtesy. Not saying you were not doing that, just pointing out that we all have our beliefs and live our lives by those beliefs. Thanks for watching.
@@ibikeunfolded nope totally respect where you are coming from. It is the right way to be imho, I lack the discipline and conviction - I certainly have no issues with someone making that moral choice and living their life by it. it was all about the clogs :)
65 to 75 psi says the shop owner wow that was surprsingly low is that not going to cause potential damage the rims i thought they should be more around 85 to 105 psi.
How is the steering with that bag on? I heard the old T bag is not compatible with the S bar.
Hi Brian, Great video!
Just one question. Are you using a standard Garmin mount on your bars. My Garmin mount is too big for my bars and struggling to find a Garmin mount to fit a Brompton
Sean Mulligan my Garmin mount came with two rubber inserts to fit various sized bars. One big rubber insert and one for smaller bars. I have the Garmin explore model.
@@ibikeunfolded cheers. I've lost my inserts so will order a new bracket.
No Brompton bike shop here in Brunei.
Hi ! In your video I can see a suitcase with a brompton in it (at 6:00) do you know the model ? Thanks.
When and looked at a Tern d8. Do you think they are as good quality as a brompton? All I have been able to touch and feel is a tern... would love your opinion....
Tern are decent bikes. I test rode one and thought it did great. It just doesn't fold as small as the brompton which is a huge thing with me as I want a compact fold. But other than that I thought the bike rode well.
brian d vlogs thank you for your opinion! Love your videos!
Hi, I was wondering what’s the store name? I want to know wether they have online store. Thanks
HEY! YOU SHOOK HANDS! MAN , YOU LIVE DANGEROUSLY! oh, well, if the riots don't get you the virus will. What a life, eh. Good to know about this place. Thankyou. Can you use the Brompton front bag fixtures on ordinary bikes?
Carolle Enkelmann oops 😖! DOH. ITS A HARD HABBIT TO BREAK. I don't think you can use the brompton fixtures for regular bikes without some professional modification. I will check and see. That might be an untapped market.
@@ibikeunfolded Thankyou. Much obliged. There are no Brompton agencies anywhere close by ( close to the Austrian border.) So it's all online stuff ( what a drag!) and so much extra bother. Maybe that might be a market chance...for you ...and for me. But, I'm not really interested in the commercial side of things. Not enough time. Good luck.
Can I just ask you. What make and model is your computer for your Brompton. Big thanks..
geoffrey welsby its a Garmin explore
@@ibikeunfolded thank you. I'll go and check it out, at the weekend. Thanks again..
Wait a minute... The old T Bag is compatible with the S Handlebar? Mmmm... I mean, beyond not being able to take advantage of its full capacity due to the height of the handlebar, the plastic frame handle does not interfere with the steering, the pole or the cables?
Martin Martines I am sorry I forgot to mention in the video that freedom folding cycles sells frames that don’t have the plastic handle. He swapped out the old frame with the new frame on the old t bag. There by making it compatible with the s bar bike. My apologies.
@@ibikeunfolded Now everything makes sense! Hahaha! Thank you Brian!
I agree with your opinion about the aholes that paint walls, destroy property and just plain prove that they are the very scum of the earth. We have some very famous graffiti artists in Brazil but they only paint works that are authorized by the city governments.
Why does Denver look like a ghost town in several of your videos. It looks like there's hardly anyone else out and about.
Pandemic times
A question sir. Did you already ditched your car?
one bicycle I got rid of the car years ago.👍😀
@@ibikeunfolded wow! Good thing to do because in the present time having a car is like putting anyones life into a trap... Car is impractical
@@onebicycle3772 Bikes and public transportation is the way to go considering fuel prices anymore.
Too bad they don't make a "recumbent" Brompton... Maybe that could be looked at in a serious way?
They mentioned that they want to stick with the one design indefinitely
Right now as of aug 2020 you can’t buy a brompton anywhere!
I know, it’s bad. Hopefully they stock up soon. Too many people want one.
Ok… finally after a year 8-25-21. I got a brompton at REI.. now I need the tool kit and can’t find it ANYWHERE!
I find it fascinating that you choose to condemn vandalism instead of the murderous acts the police inflict upon black people and communities. Can you please further elaborate on your thoughts re. the relationship between property and black human life?
I mean, cool video, but that means nothing given the aforementioned comment.
Ingrid Amelia Apgar I thought that all life mattered,but obviously I have been wrong all these years,the so called protests (riots) which have happened in London and around the UK has done these people no favours,smashing up people’s hard earned property and deliberately injuring police horses (their life’s matter as well) anger does not even come near to how I feel at the moment.
@@jasonclarke7422 -- I validate your anger and would love to talk more about it. In the meantime, I ask that you redirect it -- Be angry that black people disproportionately can't walk down the street or exist in the own homes without being killed. Be angry about the atrocious violence inflicted on black people for absolutely no reason at all. Be angry that the life of a horse can be set equivalent to the life of a black person. Be angry that BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Other) communities have been forced into poverty and themselves been deemed ownable as "property" of white people throughout history, that the United States was founded with the belief that a black person was not an entire person. Of course, all lives are important, but certain lives are lived in fear, in grave danger always. It is a privilege to be free, and be angry that not everyone is afforded such a privilege.
As after all battles are fought, property will be rebuilt.
@@ingridameliaapgar All life matters, have you ever heard of Lee Rigby,if not look him up, his life mattered, but was taken from him in the most horrific way.
@@jasonclarke7422 -- Yes, I have heard of Lee Rigby. I have copied and pasted below the exact message Lyn Rigby, Lee's mother, put out on behalf of the Lee Rigby Foundation stating that his death should not be used in favor of All Lives Matter arguments:
"As a foundation and a family we are aware of a number of posts using images of Lee and his murder in a divisive way to fuel arguments against the black lives matter protests.
Lee proudly served his country to protect the rights and freedoms of all members of this great melting pot of a nation. Seeing his image used to cause hate of any kind especially for those exercising their freedoms in protest against this issue hurts.
We find these post extremely heartbreaking and distressing, and in complete opposition to what Lee stood for.
We ask you all to please stop using his image and memory in such posts as he was a lover of all of humanity. Every race, gender, creed, sexuality, and colour. So seeing such use of his name harms not only his family but his legacy and memory.
Our thoughts and support goes out to George Floyd's friends and family at this tragic time.
We wish you all love and peace at this time.
Lyn Rigby"
