Sifu Etigge,

You mention about Brompton in Hong Kong are selling at HKD 8000. Is it used or new?

my leg only can pedal 53t on 20wheels and 55t on my 16wheels..

anyway,
today i had a chance to pedal my p9 side by side with the honourable rkhairulrijal and his verge x20!



and here is side by side comparison 406 and 451 size different done by en rijal



and what i can find within our ride is,
55t + 406 = 53t + 451

bydaway, ur leg will make it different!!

Isn't Brompton is king of folding bike? What else to buy? 😅😅😅

Wow, side by side, the 451s are quite a bit larger eh? Where's a good place to get a nice set of 451 in KL?

Bro, where did you buy yours? S'pore?

depends on brand. most of good exotic wheelset u can get easily at vans urban. but the price, u know lah..

got few more brand.u can either get a decaf wheelset also around rm700+ and one more brand forgot the name around rm400+ that can easily fit tern & dahon.the wheelset also come in disk version or vbrake version.

but please be noted,
take extra caution for the front hub as dahon and tern mostly sized 67mm unlike normal bike 100mm.mine already change the fork and its can occupied 100mm front hub.
and
NOT ALL FRAME CAN accept 451 wheelset.must try and error 1st.v brake also need to mod or change to caliper brakes unless ur bike is using diskbrakes..

I have a feeling that the V brakes will need to be modified and the mudguards won't fit. Need to think if it is worth doing....

I dont think there is such a thing as "king of folding" bike If it suits you, that's your "king"

I one folding I haven't tried is the Birdy. If an opportunity arises, maybe? I may even buy a Speed P8 if a mint one comes along and the price is right. Don't ask me what for....

Used one off course!

Very well put 😄😄

Brompton can really retained its value. 👍👍👍

hence I don't understand why you would buy a Mit, Merc or Flamingo. It will never be a Brompton and you will always feel cheated! hahaha, sorry

well i think some mit owners r pretty happy with their bike, folds like a b, cheaper than a b, has more gear than a b...
it doesn't have to b a b, as long as it can fold like a b...

im using caliper brek for more stopping power compare to v brake.i used a quick released type of mudguard

Absolutely, but I don't like the fact that it looks like the real thing when it's not. Perhaps some manufacturers should produce a bolt-on after-market rear triangle that is standard 130mm. That would be a better direction rather than copying someone's design.
