The left hook fits neatly into the arch where the top tube and seat tube are supported by a short down tube. They're so small when folded that you could store about 4 of them on a single rack if you had enough hooks (why would anyone have four though?)
Also on the Brompton, I installed a Cane Creek Thudbuster ST (from the USA via eBay) to make riding on the cratered moonscape of Lincolnshire's roads a bit easier on the rear. That's also a pretty unusual saddle, an ISM from Trybike:
The Thudbuster is good at smoothing out buzz and bumps especially with the Brompton's already decent rear elastomer suspension. Not cheap though at around £150 from Wiggle and I needed to add a fair amount of weight by installing it into the existing Brompton seat post. It emulates the standard telescopic seatpost in this regard.

ReplyDeleteSure. I basically followed the measurements posted by this guy over here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/smallwheelsociety/4052838434/in/pool-bromptonfolders
ReplyDeleteThe shim was easy to order. The Thudbuster was a short 27.2 diameter version.
