I've not been able to find a thread which covers the Brompton specific tool kit, either on this board or the parts & accessories reviews one, so I thought I'd pop this in here.
I've just availed myself of one of
these.
While I've yet to see how it fits the bike or how effective it is when used in anger, I have to confess that I'd be very surprised if the West London CAD jockey who designed this, didn't have a little (or, perhaps not so little) moment when the first of these came off the production line.
It would appear to be beautifully thought out and put together.
'Why tools for a Brompton?' I hear you say. 'Surely if something fails, it'd be going in the first available taxi'.
Yes, yes, yes I know....
But when I was on my way to order a picture frame for
this, my stem bolt decided to make a bid for freedom, leading to some *ahem!* interesting handling characteristics, and forcing me to purchase a nasty-fashioned-from-camembert set of allen keys from the glazier.
They were literally use-once-and-throw-away.
We'll have no more of that.
Thank you.
I shall return here when I have something more to say about the tool kit
