For the past few months I have been slowly adding parts to my kinetics kit to make it my very own. Its been a killer college commuter.
I opted for a 70t-19t belt drive ratio on my Rohloff as well as a custom printed "OSPW" system which has worked well so far, though i plan to print it out of nylon in the future over the current ABS.
Sadly I was on the backend prior to him making these wheel raisers for the integrated rack, so thats next on my list to make this thing fold, along with a redesigned hook system. Moving up to a 70t front ring covers where the hook would traditionally line up to the frame, so I need to move that back a little ways.
Overall I've been very happy. I have a slight rub on my front rotor when turning, which I think is due to the torsion on the hub but it doesnt slow me down at all. I guess all im curious about is how I should mount the hook. Im thinking I'll print a mount that screws in with the IS to Post mount on the front caliper.
P.S. Im looking to carry a micro tube inflator. Does anyone know the brand of 20" fenders the kinetics people use on their MTBrompton builds? Thanks.

Very nice setup! 3D printed jockey wheel is interesting, curious how ABS will hold up. Is there any particular reason why you made it?
If your printer is big enough, you can print your own fenders. My 325mm squared print bed is juuuust big enough to print 16” fenders.
