Hi all,
My first Brompton has a jubilee clip holding the luggage block on after one of the bolts failed.
I bought another Brompton and yesterday after only a couple of months riding it one of the bolts has sheared. I've left it with my LBS as my new self-enforced rule is to never touch my bike unless I'm in a zen like state of abundant patience.
Weight in the bag is about 4 Kgs. I've only checked the bolts once after I'd originally went over the bike when I got it.
What do i need to do to stop this happening? I don't have a torque wrench so could get one I suppose.

Ps I've posted before but didn't get a reply about changing my avatar name. Facebook stupidly took over when I joined up and didn't give me the option of changing it. I'm not happy having my full name on here for security reasons, I'm probably being thick but can someone show me how to change it please?
