I have owned Brompton for more than 10 years. You are right about the difficulty in rolling the folded bike on it's 4 rollers. Very difficult to turn. You can overcome this by lifting up the saddle and tilting it towards you. This will lift the front up and roll on 2 rear rollers. This is easier to do with the L type (without rack). Before doing this, you have to strap the wheels to the frame. Otherwise it will unfold because the saddle is lifted up. Brompton is not a good bike to ride. In fact, Birdy ride better. But it beats all other design in term of convenience. I can fold and keep it under my work desk. I ride to work everyday and I'm always worried my bike will be stolen if I lock it outside. Brompton solve all these problems.
Very good review with useful comments which I do not usually hear. Thanks for sharing. Personally I prefer small wheelers that have a more traditional frame shape, such as Dahon Silverhound or Giant Idiom. I also like 451 wheels size over the other smaller ones as it provides more stability.
因為公路車個輪大好多，車嘅重量都唔太一樣，同埋喺踩得快嘅時候個風阻差好遠，所以比較難直接比較🙏🏼。我會話出同樣嘅力，個速度喺Brompton比公路車會大約打咗7-9折。而Brompton C line相對其他摺車都比較重，因此要更多力先踩到同相速度。 我最新兩集都係講碼錶的，有興趣可以睇睇🙏🏼 同埋下一期拍單車片，我試試展示多啲數據，睇吓幫唔幫到手！我都明白有觀眾都想知道呢方面嘅資訊的，多謝你嘅提問🙏🏼
可以簡單答你先 A Line 只係單速，部份料同設計用返上一代Brompton，所以最平。 C Line 入邊最少無泥擋、有泥擋，同有泥擋加貨架，價錢唔同。唔同速度都價錢唔同。仲有其他因素。 P Line 貴係因為輕量化。全車重新設計，而且前叉同尾擔改用鈦合金而唔係鋼，所以貴咗一節 T Line 就係鈦合金，又係完全重新設計，自然最貴
It’s at Tseung Kwan O. I won’t say it’s friendly to cycle in Hong Kong unless you keep yourself in cycling trails. Urban area are way too much traffic and the drivers do not seems to be nice to cyclists.
Hi everyone, I just got a brand new C-Line Explore for free. 6 speed. Zero mileage so far. I want a lighter version to bring the bike onboard with me and fulfil my bike tour plan. Should I modify the current C-Line to make it lighter? Or should I sell it to fund the P-Line instead? What do you think?
@@threeminhk is modification going to void the warranty? Let’s say I’m going to change a new carbon seat pole, and maybe titanium handlebar. Are these replacements affecting the warranty?
@@franceslee5932 Rotacaster was not able to ship directly to Hong Kong by the time I bought it. I got the wheels by sending them to BuyAndShip Australia (Link in description). I guess you may wish to go to Rotacaster website and see the cost of the shipment and if they can ship directly to your place.
