There's a new Brompton pump out - to replace the Brompton Zefal one
We first got this pump on the new C-Line black edition bikes
Previously we had done a video on the Brompton / Zefal pump here: • Brompton Zefal Pump - ...
To be fair to that pump - we have never had a problem (bearing in mind that it is designed for emergency use - as opposed to a track / floor pump for quick / accurate inflation) - and we never lost one (apart from on stolen bikes)
The new pump also comes with the 2022 C Line electric bikes
It should be available as a retro fit pump - and will fit all models including the Superlight, and CHPT3 (titanium frame models) which don’t have the braising for fitting a pump
It will also fit all current / B75 / all older Brompton folding bikes
0:01 | Intro
0:59 | Brompton pump alternatives
We started looking into alternatives - but Brompton beat us to it by bringing out this new pump!
Should we continue with this quest?

@john3892 2 года назад

What a palaver. A kludge. A conventional mini pump with screw-on attachments to fit a bike frame - albeit with narrow tubes. - like 99% of pumps. Difficult to see how ‘collaboration’ with Brompton’ played any serious part: the existing brazings are simply ignored. I am a Lezyne fan, and I always take one of their mini track pumps on long Brompton tours. Had they produced a model which clipped into the existing Brompton brackets I would have bought one. I’m on my 9th Brompton in 25 years and have become accustomed to differentiating the truly useful and original design elements from the piffle, like this.

I'm new to Bromptons and reading the instructions on that pump box made me laugh and scream in equal measure. In the end I just ignored it and figured it out myself. I'm convinced whoever wrote and designed them had a lot of free time on their hands and made it sounds as complicated as possible just for a laugh. Quite brilliant, really - it's as if it was designed by the same old fella who wrote 1970s Haynes manuals.

It took me forever to find a Brompton pump because everything was in short supply and now they come out with a better one. Damn you Brompton ❗️ Actually the Lezyne is a huge upgrade over the prehistoric Zefal. That pump gave you a strenuous workout just to reach 50psi 🥵 My arms still sore from last time I used it❗️ I have an awesome Lezyne pump on my road bike that works like a mini floor pump . Has the hose a foot peg and gauge. Get a flat on a cold day and you will worship that pump❗️

@brilliantbikes 2 года назад

The original pumps still work perfectly well for what they are (emergency pumps) and the brompton C line frames still have the fitting for them built into the rear triangle Brompton are also still currently selling the old pump The 2 speed (urban) and 3 speed (utility) no longer come with a pump So you could choose to buy an "old style" Zefal or "new style" Lezyne - and they would both do the job So currently they are not as far as we know discontinued or selling in bulk or as collectors items on e-bay

@BeerdedOne 2 года назад

Plastic threads.. unlike the Lezyne branded pumps on the shelf next to it that are all cast aluminum construction, the female threaded fitting on the pump body (the end where the air comes out) that accepts the ABS hose has soft plastic threading that was easily damaged by the metal threads of the flex tubing. Buyer beware, hopefully this gets addressed in a future revision.

This seems to have the common shortcoming of portable pumps in that it lacks an integrated pressure gauge. With the screw on valve fitting, trying to achieve the right pressure would be annoying (remove hose while twirling the attached pump, fit gauge, remove, replace hose, pump some more, etc). So this pump looks ok for roadside top ups but you’d want a floor pump for regular use. While it’s fine if the pump is included with the bike, I’m honestly not sure why one would buy this aftermarket vs. a CO2 inflator at a fraction the weight, size, and effort.

@brilliantbikes 2 года назад

Thanks for watching - and great comments We agree - this would be an emergency pump (for roadside repair) - and would always recommend a track pump for checking / regular top-ups at home We guess the benefit of this / the original Brompton pump is that they would always be on the bike - we've gone out riding before and forgotten the CO2 (Mountain biking that is) We also haven't tried using CO2 on a Brompton - not sure how much volume of air/CO2 it needs compared to a road bike (quite a lot less we think) - anyone have experience of this?

@richardforster1239 2 года назад

The new Brompton pump has a metal thread on each end of the tube to fit into a plastic thread in the pump body. No matter how carefully I try to screw the tube into the pump it almost always begins to cross-thread and tears at the first part of the plastic thread. Obviously I use very light pressure and unscrew the tube straight away but little by little damage is being done each time I try to fit the tube. Not something I would want to try in the dark with cold fingers after an unfortunate puncture. Update: I reported this to Brompton and they sent me a new one which does not have this problem. I was worried that a metal on plastic thread design was going to be an issue every time but I must have just had a faulty item.
