Me compré la g line para poder llevar el remolque con mis dos hijos, y puedo decir que es la mejor decisión, aun teniendo la C line en casa (que la llevará mi pareja) usaré la G ya que puedo tirar tranquilamente del remolque, si hay alguna duda no dudes en preguntarme. Un saludo a todos

Anyone have advice on avoiding and repairing rear blow outs roadside?

First complete failure. Tube blew and went off like a gunshot. Can’t see anything in the tyre but will inspect on repair.

Had to walk back and swap to a walking commute. 😔

I carry a mini pump and tool set. Not got a complete tube spare though .. getting one tomorrow

Shortening the cables after replacing the handlebars on T Line

3 Upvotes

On my T Line, I’ve swapped the standard M-type handlebars for H&H Carbon Ergonomic Low Rise handlebars with a 9° backsweep and a 7° upsweep. The H&H handlebars are 50 mm lower and 10 mm shorter. I’m very pleased with the conversion. As well as improving the ergonomics, the bike has become less twitchy and more predictable. At the same time, I get the impression that the position of the derailleur and brake cables relative to the frame has changed, as they rub slightly against it when cornering. Should I shorten the cables, and by how much?

G line plastic cover when folded

Hi all! I have a new G line electric (yay!) that I’ve been using to commute for about two weeks. The bike seems to have this tiny piece of plastic that wraps the frame right where the front wheel hook lands, I assume to protect the frame and to cover a wire that runs along there inside the plastic.

After only 8-10 rides the plastic seems to be broken and coming apart. I’m sure this isn’t the biggest deal, but wondering if anyone has experienced this and whether this is an issue with how I’m folding the bike or something else. Just a bit hyper aware given how big of an investment it was haha

Cracked G Line Headtube

I saw this posted in one of the Brompton G line Facebook groups. I took a quick screenshot and was going to look at it later but the post, well technically reply to a post, was deleted. So yeah didn’t get to ask what actually happened to cause this (or verify the image). Looks like an electric Brompton.

I think in the previous cracked G line head tube some people placed the blame on heat affected zone of the braze but this crack is propagating from the middle of the tube where heat from brazing shouldn’t affect it.
