It's part of the mudguard stay but it might not always have been like that and there is a stand alone hook available for models with no mudguard.</p> <p>When the main tube clamp is undone the front part swings back and the hook fits over the upturned bottom of the right chain stay. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230359 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 22:55:32 +0000 gembo 230359@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yup, I think the hook is on the wrong side we got the Mickey Mouse ears. Prince buster dead? I heard Pauline Black on radio talking about him yesterday. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230353 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 21:01:59 +0000 wee folding bike 230353@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No Sade here, this week I have mostly been playing Embarrassment and last weekend I got the music for The Sun and the Rain which has 12/8 time and triplets against two notes on the left hand.</p> <p>Are we done yet? No, the first of the triplets is tied to a previous quaver.</p> <p>Mike Barson you are a fiend! </p> <p>New album out soon, Lee Thomson's new one is great but Buster died during the week. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230352 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 20:59:42 +0000 wee folding bike 230352@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The left hand side of the front axle should have a hook which fits over the chain stay when folded.</p> <p>The right hand side on the top of the fork crown should have Mickey Mouse ears which grab a wee nubbin on the steerer tube.</p> <p>You don't need a clip to hold it folded. The seat pin falls down through the frame and butts against the stop disk on the end of the back brake bolt and that holds it locked in place when folded. That's part of the cleverness. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230349 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 19:15:26 +0000 dougal 230349@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There was a smoothies maker at Gorgie Farm Fest today but I didn't get to ride. Spent the whole time playing capoeira.</p> <p>There was a vibravelo at Doune the Rabbit Hole festival last month: one person cycles to generate power for the next person to wield "vibrating back massagers" and the third sat in a seat being gently pulsated through back and shoulders.</p> <p>We didn't see if autovibravelo was possible. But anything if it rains at a festival. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230346 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 18:05:13 +0000 gembo 230346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The council bike has the clip to hold it all together on wrong side of front axle. What do you clip that clip to?</p> <p>Meant if we were tight with the handlebars the whole thing swung, so we went loose on both sides which worked.</p> <p>30 secs was quickest. Top prize to pupil from harmeny residential school.</p> <p>I convinced Joanna cherry MP to try the electric bike she is getting one. Also sang smooth operator by Sade to her when she was on the smooth making bike. The other half of the bike is going to Africa </p> <p>-<br /> All good </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230323 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 10:21:18 +0000 wee folding bike 230323@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The folding pedal was an extra in the '90s. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230285 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:25:47 +0000 gembo 230285@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hope it is dry. I think might go for unfolded then folded within three mins to enter prize draw to avoid wee fingers getting crushed.</p> <p>This is the cooncil folder, the pedals remain proud. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230259 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 11:45:10 +0000 I were right about that saddle 230259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo</p> <p>See you there. I will fold <strong>both</strong> pedals. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230257 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 11:35:02 +0000 chdot 230257@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Brompton's usually have one folding pedal. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230256 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 11:33:02 +0000 wingpig 230256@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote><em>"Also wee wheels to roll it or bigger ones"</em></blockquote></p> <p>Presume you mean the wheels on the rack? Presume big ones handier for anything less smooth than train station concourses. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16846#post-230251 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 11:02:38 +0000 gembo 230251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All at Balerno farmer's market tomorrow. Prizes too. And as much smoothie as you can drink</p> <p>I don't think the Brompton I have borrowed has folding pedals It does not seem very held together but I am not an expert. Also wee wheels to roll it or bigger ones? Any advice welcome. The forum record is 7.49 seconds </p>
