First ride on my new C Line 12 Speed. 50 miles🗽Bike handled great! Any reccomendations on upgrades? Looking for better roller wheels, a front bag that can carry a laptop, and a rear rack that can safely carry a 6 pack🍻 Appreciate any reccomendations!

Welcome & congrats on 1st ride — you’re in the fold now!
Adv Rack = must-have. Roll fully folded w/ seat up — just push it. Game-changer. Adds only 0.82 lbs — you won’t notice. Bungee cords sold sep; many only get rack for the smooth roll.
Best rollers? G Line 70mm or 80mm?? = way sturdier. Not sure if they fit; will check next Brompton store visit. Lots of ppl use rollerblade wheels + bearings.
Top upgrade: 44T chainring. Most don’t use gears 11/12 anyway. Gives more low + better midrange. Cheap part + easy install. Can swap back anytime.
Daytime blinkies = life-saving. Easy safety upgrade. Cuts crash risk >50%. Scroll through below to. Read + watch vid too:
