Sweet - no more dumbell spanner clanging about in your bag etc.!

No news on pricing/availability as yet!
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

Nice idea to combine a ratchet driver and 15mm spanner.

Meanwhile, I'll carry on with my Topeak Ratchet Rocket + a stubby 15mm spanner.

Hopefully not reassuringly expensive.  A CO2 canister would be nice for titanium bikes (which can't carry a pump).
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

Perhaps you could manage to carry a canister or two internally as well, Roger?

I could, but it might be hard to retrieve them promptly when required.

Looks well thought out.
However, I wish Brompton would concentrate on improving the core design rather than accessories. A stiffer stem, lighter, better quality chromoly tubing etc.. Bread and butter stuff.

Brompton have a bad case of Not Invented Here syndrome, a bit like Shimano.
