I switched over my brooks b17 from another bike when I got home. by crankynugget Bicycle Bicycling Bike Biking Brompton Bicycle Brompton Bike Brompton Folding Bicycle Brompton Folding Bike Cycling Folding Bicycle Folding Bike
Wondering_Electron on April 5, 2025 7:40 pm Wtf, my Brompton is effectively EXACTLY the same right down to the colour! I upgraded to Ergon grips just like you have. I added the rear rack just like you. Mine was originally a 6 speed, but I reduced it down to just the 3 gears in the hub, just like yours is. I use an Ortlieb O Bag for the front and a Vincita Nash Bag for the rear rack. So much luggage capacity. Happy travels!
Lightertecha on April 5, 2025 7:46 pm I would add a front mudguard/fender if you ever ride on wet roads, it makes a big difference.
