    Brompton with trailer

    Just tried out the e Brompton conversion with my trailer, no problems at all, apart from not having enough power to get up a short steep cobbled lock ramp, that needs bottom gear and full power on the mid drive hybrid. I thought there was a thread for just posting pics of bikes out and about...

    Can you identify this connector?

    Why not take a file or angle grinder to the ball and level the flat. That would be easiest if that is the problem.

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    I do roadside repairs, also carry a spare tube. I have QR axles, with a centre stand on the bike I can get them out without inverting the bike. I have a Rehook tyre tool, brilliant bit of kit for getting tyre on and off, I carry a small set of tools, enough to repair most problems. The Rehook...

    That's the spokes done

    What about increased weight and drag? It would be easy to get uneven thickness, one half of the wheel might be heavier, causing vibrations.

    Introducing the Woosh Brompton cskit

    Yes but not for a little while, it's on my narrowboat, going moving it next week. I didn't buy it through Amazon or eBay or I could've found it. Re the bottom bracket, I have a '99 Brompton, as far as I can be certain, with the 6-speed Sturmey hub. I had to get a new bottom bracket - then of...

    Lithium battery rechargeable headlights with mirrors

    I wonder how sturdy they are, my zefals fold out of the way when the bike falls over. It's an expensive bit of kit to stick on the end of the bars.

    LCD3 display reading

    Could the juddering be the 3 power wires connected wrongly? I had to go through a series of combinations to find the right one when adding a KT controller with lcd3 to a hub motor. While there were 3 colours the same, from controller and to motor, nothing worked matching the colours. The...

    E-bike Advice

    I have no problem with 16" Brompton wheels on paths and trails, often towpaths while I go from boat to retrieve car, sometimes 10 or 15 miles. I was lucky enough to have bought a 6 speed hub Brompton, cheap, a good few years back, now upgraded with a woosh kit. It's a rock solid machine compared...
