Actually you already have all the parts you need to do this for free...when you buy the CatEye Amp series it comes with a handlebar clamp (4:57). This can be disassembled (Philips screw to a small bolt) which leaves you just the slide mount. Remove the stock Brompton front reflector and carefully bend the wire mount flat and pry apart about 2mm (vice grips), the CatEye slide will then just slip over the Brompton mount (there's even a little loop to make it extra secure). Insert the Philips screw back through the slide and secure to the wire mount using the CatEye bolt and a washer/lock washer. Tighten everything up & clip the lamp into the slide as normal. And there's more than enough length on the Brompton wire mount to get the CatEye well clear of any luggage. I'd post a photo but, I can't!

The back light is even simpler as the Bike Friday "Grateful Red" LED light (available in battery & USB) comes with a plastic mounting bracket that is an exact fit to the Brompton rear reflector bracket. Just remove the stock reflector and use BF's supplied bolts to attach their clip, the light slides directly onto to it & is easily removed for charging.

The AMPP500 supplied handlebar mount that I bought last week doesn’t allow this on my pre-2017 M3R. There’s a protruding bit of moulding, shaped to fit into the female part of the handlebar mount, that prevents it from marrying up with the reflector mount. My reflector mount is a flat alloy bar type and not made of shaped thick wire. I successfully followed the method recommended in this video and it’s all worked well for me.

I love your videos, they’re so useful, informative and funny! My Brompton has a front reflector with a flat steel bracket. I removed this and bent the upright part of it in my vice so that it is now angled down - at approx the same angle as the original cateye bracket. I took the cateye clamp off the supplied handlebar bracket and cut the lower tabs off, then screwed it to the altered reflector bracket sandwiching it in place with a flat rubber strip so that it’s nice and firm and grips the flat steel. Hey presto it has clearance for the Brompton bags, doesn’t budge and lights up the lanes perfectly 😊. Another hack I’ve done is to change the front mudflap...where we live there is a lot of muck on the roads. The supplied mudflap is not long enough to prevent muck spraying over the chain, chainset and bottom bracket. I’ve replaced this with a ‘Raw’ long wide mudflap which is about 4cm longer and is also stiffer and has a cleanable surface - loads better, my feet still get a bit wet though!...but the bike is a lot cleaner..it doesn’t affect the fold. I bought a borough large bag off you the other day - it came so quick - brilliant service!

It’s a very good idea. In fact this dynamo mount is better for tWo reasons: 1) It is very lighter compared to original solid mount, hence brings down the overall weight of the bike. Every gram counts (at least for me). 2) it fits into the existing fitting by replacing the front reflector mount. Don’t need to add or remove any washer. 3) You can adjust the angle of the light throw as per your need which you can’t do with the solid mount that comes with the Brompton light.

BRILLIANTLY cheeky solution! I am good for cat eye headlights, but another few mounts would come in handy for sure - always found it frustrating that you had to splash out on the light and mount kit to have the capacity to use the thing on more than one Brompton… you’re lucky that your handlebar mounted one spins, mine just slips down and points at the ground however tight I think I’ve fastened the blighter! I could definitely hear you too 😉 Take care 😁

Thank you for this idea - and for the bracket you supplied that arrived today. I tried this with an AMPP 800 I had lying around and it didn't quite work, it was just slightly too far back so interfered with the release for the luggage block. Maybe the AMPP 800 is a bit longer than the 400&500. But anyway, rather than use the adapter from the CatEye fork mount, I used a CatEye GoPro adapter instead. This sits slightly further forward than the fork mount adapter so now the light clears the block release by about 3mm. Perfect! The CatEye GoPro adapter needed the holes drilled out to 6.5mm to accommodate the Brompton bolt and I shoved some washers in to fill the gap between its two forks so they didn't bend when the bolt was tightened. I've used GoPro type adapters in a similar way for mounting bike things before, you can adapt all sorts of lights, computers etc. from different manufacturers that way and you can get things like extension arms and dual mounts for tons of different options.

Love your videos and this is a particularly useful one. I have also had to come up with an alternative solution.

Another winner for me as I prep for winter, whIch may have already started in August judging on the last couple of days, and have today successfully used the suggested combination of brackets (purchased from your good selves at BB) to install my new Cateye AMPP500 over the front wheel. Please can you confirm that the concave surfaced washer that come with the Brompton Dynamo light bracket substitutes for the existing concave washer on the front side of the brake/light mount/mudguard that’s part of the standard set? I checked your other video that covers fitting the Volt400, but the bracket is different (flat folded metal vs shaped wire) from what’s supplied. It seems a no brainier, but I would like to be sure. Thanks again for the really helpful and informative videos, as well as the very efficient online supply chain you operate atBrilliant Bikes.

The small issue, and it just a titchy one with having the lights mounted so low is that you would have to stop to turn the lights on if out riding when it begins to get dark which wouldn't be the case with handlebar mounted ones. Saying that Brompton handlebars are of less than normal diameter and not all bike lights fit very tightly around them. Instead a better solution maybe a bracket that could be secured through the handlebar bolt. I think I might look into designing such a thing for my own bike light. Once again a great video though. Two thumbs up.
@brilliantbikes

I think that there would be issues with heel strike and folding be a problem. As an alternative how about the excellent Vincita saddle bag? This can be left attached to the saddle when folding if the two velcro straps on the seat post are undone. I have one and I can confirm that it is very well made and good value. vincita.cc/collections/brompton-bags/products/b035td-nova-saddle-bag-for-foldingbike Or there are the Frost & Seckers saddle bags. More expensive but they are very elegant and have a very clever quick release system. frostandsekers.com

Can’t figure pic issue out, so here goes. Brompton is doubtless a design classic but like most things it’s not perfect. The front bag block is one example, it is ugly, and it interferes as we know with the fitting of a light of choice. I tried it with the cateye bracket and an OptiCube 530 I had. No good so my son got the lamp and I bought an Ampp 1100, which still posed a problem that I nearly solved with an aftermarket aluminium block that has an internal bag release. The Brompton block’s lever is big part of this problem. The new block partially solved things and the light went on with sufficient clearance but no effective adjustment so I sought a different bracket. Brompton shows one on its website but they don’t sell it and it’s far from elegant looking as if it was bashed into shape in a shed. So, I now have a cast aluminium alternative anodised blue that looks the part but I’ll fit it this weekend and get the light adjusted. Pity one can’t post photos. Thanks, Stephen.

If you want an approved lamp rather than a merely supplementary ie extra lamp, in order to meet RVLR law at 'night', then cateye still make the Stzvo approved GVolt series, as the " Eu equivalence clause" accepting European stds offering equivalent level of safety to Bs6102/3 is still active. Brompton should really fit thesr as standard in the Uk.

Frank perhaps use the toilet before you watch next time :) Question....can you mount a normal Cateye rear light doing something similar at the back? I know they sell a mounting bracket for a rack. Will that fit the Brompton?

Actually, the Cateye bracket can be mounted under the brake calipers. The mounting adapter needs to be flipped around. The metal bracket will touch the fenders, but other than that it does not interfere with the brakes or luggage block. I have it installed on my Brompton.

I tried to do this but the fact that the bracket touched the fenders made impossible for the wheel to rotate freely, do you have any solution for that?

I added a reply last week but i've solved things now. Brompton is doubtless a design classic but like most things it’s not perfect. The front bag block is one example, it is ugly, and it interferes as we know with the fitting of a light of choice. I tried it with the cateye bracket and an OptiCube 530 I had. No good so my son got the lamp and I bought an Ampp 1100, which still posed a problem that I nearly solved with an aftermarket aluminium block that has an internal bag release. The Brompton block’s lever is big part of this problem. The new block partially solved things and the light went on with sufficient clearance but no effective adjustment so I sought a different bracket. Brompton shows one on its website but they don’t sell it and it’s far from elegant looking as if it was bashed into shape in a shed. So, I now have a cast aluminium alternative anodised blue that looks the part but I’ll fit it this weekend and get the light adjusted. Pity one can’t post photos. Update, here's how I sorted it out. drive.google.com/file/d/1J8xNUpyaoYqQ2b-6ZwFrmDVaikpWOkIv/view?usp=sharing This shows the halfway house. drive.google.com/file/d/1ENNGO5r0qvx5bvmGPU-aY0RrUtb7VlDV/view?usp=sharing And this is the finished result Thanks, Stephen.
