Instead of zip ties for bag release use paracord. You can get it in nice colors and it won't scratch your frame. You can also dress it up a bit with a lovely diamond knot.

Thanks Victor. I like the look of the saddle and seems to be pretty good so far. Really happy with the leather accessories as well. 👍
The 2 O-rings are supposed to sit under the pentaclip, not on the wider part of the seatpost, so that when the seat is lowered to lock the fold, the bottom of the pentaclip doesn’t mark and/or score the top of the seat tube. I’ve been using Swissstop Flash Pro BXP Blue cartridge pads, they give a much better performance and are a hard-wearing brake pad than the fibrax originals. I run Ergon GP1-L grips which protect the ulnar nerve in the heel of your hands and prevent sore wrists.
@CycleEveryday

Thanks. I have the extended seat post so it physically cant meant the top of the seat tube, but I can see what you mean and how that would be issue with the normal seat post. 👍 I prefer it this way as the pentaclip is hidden more and think it looks a bit tidier. Not changed the grips at the moment. To be fair not had any issues with the foam grips and I actually think they are alright although I know quite a few people don't like them. Heard the ergon ones are pretty good though so when I need to change them will have a look at the ones you have suggested 👍
The larger Roller Wheels are a +, but the Extender Bar adds greater stability (even with the rack) and a bit more height, ++. The Front Carry Block "loop" from a cable tie, excelant idea, for vertually no extra cost or weight. Thanks for the vlogs Take care

Although unnecessary I too would have swaped over the brake shoes. Defiantly look better. The Eazy Wheels are a big improvement. Combined with a Roller Extender Bar £10, is an even better upgrade. Stops the tipping and makes it easier for shopping & tube travel trundling, Might fit the Zip Ties to the Carry Block. Great idea at min cost and weight. Would make my own hub cleaners. With a Sumner and Winter/Cargo B & contemplating an electric the Brooks C17 would at x3 be an expensive indulgence. Although very desirable. For frame protection Tape. Vegi, so no leather fram sleaves. And what if it rains. Enjoying your vlogs, thanks for sharing. Take care

A really useful video. Thanks. When I bought my new Brompton M6R four years ago I asked for it to be fitted with Eazy wheels. I'd had previously fitted Eazy wheels myself to my old P6R.The shop told me that Brompton no longer supplied Eazy Wheels because the standard Brompton wheels were now much bigger. Standard wheels were bigger yes, but not big enough. I'm glad that Brompton now supply them again.

@@CycleEveryday the design maximises airflow to reduce brake fade under hard use. The pads use 2 compounds to ensure a wider temperature performance band. They're roughly 80mm long giving huge stopping areas on each pad and from experience they'll survive a 40-0mph deceleration downhill, something no other rim brake has managed in my years doing stupid stuff. Where safety is concerned I always look toward Downhill MTB and BMX.

The only thing I have found helps is having the handle bars down. I have the m-bars though so think they are closer to the ground when folded. That added a bit of stability. Only other thing is an extender that would help. It is a bit of a pain though that it’s less stable. Putting the old ones back on would fix it, but wouldn’t roll as well. 👍
