I had a tube already in my frame, but when I saw Victor's video I realized that I can have *two* tubes there. One wrapped like Viktor shows, pushed all the way in and then another tube, unwrapped in front.
Hi Fabian
Yes! I think it will be possible to place 2 tubes in the frame. The first like Victor’s way (with the cord) and the second one on front. Just remember to place following the tubes shape.

Saw someone who did the Trans Con cycle race on a Brompton. He zip tied his spare inner tubes into the small triangle. Keep Safe Chris! xx
Hi Sheila
Wowww, Trans Con cycle race on a Brompton 😱😱😱😱
That is hard and long. He probably had at least 4 tubes in a Brompton.
Amazing, Bromptons are fabulous!
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
@@ChrisbyBike I'm lead to believe he did not finish and the rear hub was a Rohloff 14 speed unit. But all the same it was a great effort! Keep Safe!

Sorry, did not understand
Tie a piece of string to the tube so if you push it too far you can pull it back out
Hi Graham Longley
It is a great idea, but since I don't envelop my tube the rubber does not let it move and it stays always at the same place.
Nice to have you onboard!
Great tips! I wanted to know if there's a reason you don't use the Brompton pump that comes with the bike and attaches to the triangle with the built in hooks?
Hi Ride On Cycling
The pump is beautifuly place at the Brompton frame, but the most PSI you can get is 40 to 50 PSI. It is not enough for Brompton tires. Ideal you need from 70 to 100psi.
Below 60psi the tire stays to soft and bent on curves.
Check what happened with me
czcams.com/video/5Qm8bMXv-uU/video.html
Nice to have you on board!
@@ChrisbyBike I find 100psi to be too harsh on the Brompton it "feels" fast but in reality it's just a harsh ride.
The way I see it is if I got a puncture on the Brompton I'd take a cab home (the beauty of them fitting in a trunk 😀).
If it came down to a roadside fix I view the hand pump as I would the hand pump on my road bike, it's a temporary fix until I get home to a track pump. 😊
The beauty about Bromptons is that it fits anywhere.
If we use it only in the city, it's is fine. Just get a ride back home. Perfect!
But, I like to travel with my Brompton, and the Btompton pump will not save me in case of a emergency in the midle of a trip. So I always carry a better pump to keep my tires at the right pressure.
I always use 20% less them top PSI. It makes 80psi in Brompton tires.
I hope Brompton improve it's pump, because it looks só cool in the frame 😊👍🏻🚴♀️
On a Lightweight, they have for some strange reason (Lightweights aren't supposed to have a puncture!) saved the small piece of wire making it possible to bring a pump on the frame, making the bike a few grams lighter!
Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen
Every gram counts. Hahaha
What is the weight in a Brompton Lightwaight?
Nice to have you on board!
Great hacks Chris thanks for putting this up... Do you have a link for the tyre pump please? Looks cool.... Thanks and all the best..
Hi Andrew Dickinson
I use this one
▶️Mini Bike Pump Portable 150 Psi
Amazon US - amzn.to/3onaedZ
Amazon UK - amzn.to/3bk7gmC
But you can use any pump tha goes up to 150psi
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

i like the idea that using 2 coins as 15mm Spanner . it helps a little bit
Hi Max Siu
I thought it was very clever and had to share with you guys. It helps just a bit, but is better then no tools.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
your first hack doesn't fit for me. because i have a mudgurad. but it is a interesting hack .
and i agree with you that changing to a bigger roller wheel. it will be so easy to push the bike.
@@maxsiu1989 The easy wheels are one of my favorite Upgrades.
They are bigger then original Brompton wheels and they are thinner so they do not hit my ankles when I pedal. It is totally worth it.
The last hack, I saw a toolkit in the frame, so why don't use that? ;-)
Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen
Having the right tools is the best choice, it was just to show a hach just in case you don't have them or they broke.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
I didn't understand the Silver tape what is for and why is it on the little oil bottle ?
Another hack for cyclists, you can carry oil in a 10ml bottle that e-liquid comes in....they don't leak and have a tiny nozzle that's perfect for chains 👍
Hi ZigZag
Like it! Great Hack.

Eventually, for a little more security, being unable to reach/get to the tube in the frame, because it has gone in too far, put a line with a knob round it, and the knob will fall out if in case of need! And the factory has put some, small and - absolutely ridiculous pieces of clear tape at several places (One of mine had been worn through after only two folds, I found out, when I soon after the buy was giving my paint an auto-polish all over) which I have mostly replaced with proper protective carbon plates (To be bought especially for the purposes) around. And a long sown on piece of leather, both on the frame and also up the stem post, to prevent scratches from shoes and handling. And yes, when washing the bike, they may be covered with clear kitchen-wrapping. Finn, Denmark
Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen
The string with a nob is a very good idea.
About the tapes, I can't understand the reason for Brompton not to use good protective tape on the need places. I've already change mine.
For the leather protectors. They look great, but for salty places not so good.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
I see that you remove your front mudguard, any hack to prevent the brake cable from rubbing against the front tyre when u turn right?
Hi Say it
My Brompton came originally with no mudguards, and as I rarely ride in the rain, I decided not to instal Fenders.
It came with a little silver plate that is installed on the left fork.
They sell it separate. You , also, can find in Aliexpress nice models.
Nice to have you on board!
I noticed your rear rack is different from the description link in your video which is the Brompton Complete Rack Set Black Edition. I assume it is much cheaper? Do you have a link for your rear rack?
Hi Vincentnnyc
My rear rack is a H&H triangle Aluminium. They do not have in Amazon, they have the original.
I particularly prefer this rack. Because it is lighter and smaller.
But I can check if some thing similar arrive at Amazon.
@@ChrisbyBike so where did you buy it from and how much in USD?
Hi Vincentnnyc
The rack was one of my first upgrades. I've bought it 3 years ago at Dino Kiddo. Do not remember the price. But I did some research and found out a H&H at
"H&H Design Chrome Aluminum Rear Q Rack for Brompton Folding Bike - DinoKiddo" www.dinokiddo.me/shop/hh/brompton-chrome-aluminum-rear-q-rack-electroplated-glossy-hh/
$58,50 usd
At Amazon there are Similar triangle racks for $38.00.
Keep Safe! Keep Riding!
@@ChrisbyBike Thanks. Can you give me the link for the amazon for $38?

Hi VincentnNYC
Sorry for the delay.
here it goes

It is a CUTICATE Biking Bike Carrier Rack for Brompton Bicycle Easy Wheel Cargo Rack - Easy to Install - Black at better price.
Cuticate is a good brand, hope it works fine.
Tell me later if it fits well and if it works fine.

handle bar like hook, for good looking or ...........??
Hi Jon Yan
It is for long rides.
With this Handlebar grip you have more ways to hold your Brompton when riding. Avoiding tingling in the hands.

@@ChrisbyBike thx! is it original of brom product?
In the Video description I've left the link for similar Handlebar grips. It is not Bromptons original. But works very well.
