This is how a #brompton EZ clamp spring looks like after a decent few months of usage.

As you can see, it's quite compressed now and, as a result, not springy enough to hold the clamp up properly anymore.

That lifespan is not bad by any means (easy enough to re-print) but does that happen to y'all too or is it just me?

It's also just the handlebar one; the other is holding up fine.

I remember seeing a variant of this which had an actual metal spring inside; I might look into that.

Printed myself an EZ clamp spring for my #brompton at @cccda yesterday; a must-have for any @brompton rider!

It's so handy to have a local #hackspace with amazing people to help you out for this sort of stuff. Much love 3

Ich kam hier noch gar nicht richtig zum Feiern… zwei Jahre mit meinem #SirHenry aus der #Bromptonfamily @brompton sind es heute auf den Tag genau. 🚲💨 🍾🥂
Ich kann es mir ohne ihn gar nicht mehr vorstellen, vieles ist so easy. 💝🤩 #MehrPlatzFürsRad #FahrRad

I was on a short trip on the weekend and wanted to have my luggage on the bike instead of carrying it on my back. (Unfortunately, I don't have a front bag yet.)

Some detailed shots of the attachment:

During my trip I realized that my legs are hitting the rod a little. I repositioned it a little further back during the tour.

To increase the stability, you can wrap the rubber straps around the rack (behind the wheel) which will increase the tension of the straps.

The idea was taken from Gianni who has a lot of great tips around Bromptons touring: https://piped.video/watch?v=v

Beating #ULEZ (and the #London traffic): Should I choose a bicycle or electric bike?
We pitted a @brompton Bicycle electric bike against the classic pedal-powered folder to compare the journeys: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/brompton-commuter-race-beat-ulez

The new color "emerald lacquer" available for the Brompton P-line looks soooo cool. 😍

I love my matcha green C-line, but this would have been such an awesome color.

There are some more pictures on Bromptons website if anyone is interested: https://www.brompton.com/shop/bikes/p-line-urban?color=emerald-lacquer&handlebar=mid
