As some of you might remember, I sold my VanMoof S3 ebike a little over a month ago and purchased a Brompton C-Line. All in all I’m loving the new bike, it’s a marvel of engineering. What I’m not all that thrilled about are the amount of restrictions there are on adjusting the bike to fit your riding preference. <center>![](https://i.imgur.com/qGhy5NN.jpg) </center> About a week after I started riding the Brompton I decided to start fine-tuning the adjustment of it. I adjusted the tilt on the handlebars just a few millimeters closer so I didn’t have to reach as far for them. Big mistake! A few blocks into my first ride the gears stopped working and after a trip to a local Brompton dealer in Minneapolis I discovered that handlebar adjustment caused the gear cables to s-t-r-e-t-c-h when I folded the bike. <center>![](https://i.imgur.com/fBWjlrl.jpg) </center> ## It’s All About The Fold ## The bike mechanic at Perennial Cycle explained cardinal rule of the Brompton, in his words, “it’s all about the fold”. He said that the handlebars, or much of anything else for that matter (except for the seat), should never be adjusted for any reason. *What?* As someone who's ridden a bike for over four decades this seems absurd and really isn’t mentioned except for a few very vague statements buried fairly deeply in the bike's owner's manual. YouTube videos I've watched didn't mention it either. The mechanic explained because the tolerances are so tight on this bike when it folds any adjustment can cause three other things to go out of whack. Live and learn. Now, you would think Brompton would make this crystal clear in the quick start guide but, anyway, the bike mechanic replaced the stretched gear cables. Fifty dollars later, my beloved Brommie was back on the road. <center>![](https://i.imgur.com/JnEGsrZ.jpg) </center> On my second ride after having it in the shop for repair the gears stopped working again. This time I discovered the lock nut (pictured above) wasn’t tightened against the barrel adjuster for the hub gears. It seems the mechanic forgot to lock it down after replacing the gear cables. So after a couple of rides it moved and the gears went out of adjustment yet again. Now, thanks to working on my 1959 Raleigh I know all about hub bike gears so I smiled and thought, *Ahh, finally a simple fix*. The plan was to just recalibrate the gear adjustment and secure it down with the lock nut but, alas, it wasn't in the cards. The nut won’t budge even with the help of pliers and a shot of WD-40. It appears to be cross-threaded. So back to the bike shop we go today to see if they can fix it or if the entire part has to be replaced. Hopefully the third time will be a charm and the steep learning curve for this bike is nearly expired. So far when the bike is working I really love it, it’s quick and nimble. When it’s not working I end up channeling my late-Father and launching a plethora of curse words, then finally taking a deep breath and surrendering into something resembling patience. This little Brompton is definitely teaching me to have more of that, patience, and it's a valuable asset to have in this world after all. My new mantra from this point forward will be...it's all about the fold. There has to be a deeper metaphysical meaning in there somewhere, right? Enjoy your weekend everyone! <center> ~Eric Vance Walton~ </center> -- (Photos are original.) --- <center> [![alt text](https://i.imgur.com/HxpLgqSl.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095HXB8WQ) </center> Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.

In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel. These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, [Mindful Moments](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PJPWK2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you.

Yikes, that sounds like quite the pain! At lest you are getting it sorted out. Silly mistakes like those than end up costing you money are never fun though. I am glad that you enjoy the bike otherwise. I bet once you get all this stuff sorted out you are going to log a lot of miles on it!

I'm hopeful that this is the last hiccup. I sold the VanMoof to help simplify cycling and this has felt like taking a few (temporary) steps backward. Lol. I hope this is the beginning of some epic journeys on two wheels.

Hi, Eric! It's not was is said exactly, it is what is implied. How else would they get people to buy it? I t has lots of positives in the bike, but, the learning curve will slow you down. Sort of like Hive, yes? I was talked into joining and when I did, it wasn't what I thought it was, but, once I was sorted and set up where I could manage it, it was a winner. I am sure you are already there, if not close! I hope you are doing well.

Hi Denise! Hive is a great comparison. This looks like a bike and rides like a bike but it's not like any bike I've over owned. Lol. I finally got all of the issues sorted out today. I'm obsessed with the versatility of it and how it opens up a myriad of options for traveling. My next purchase is a hard sided case so I can check it onto a plane and take it to Europe. Life is good on this end. I hope the same is true for you!

How cool is that! Where will you be headed to? The Netherlands? :)) Is your wife a biker too? She almost has to be. I can hardly wait to hear all about the adventure and when/where you are going! I will stay tuned! All is well here and glad there too!

Hi Eric, I think you need a little time to get used to your new bike. Although at first there are some difficulties I think later you will be very comfortable with this bike. You are lucky to live in a developed country so you can enjoy the power of a bicycle at the first. This type of bicycle does not yet exist in my country. Hope you have a beautiful day.

Thanks! That versatility of it (how small it folds) is my favorite aspect of the bike. I'm going to put a lot of miles on this once it's rideable.

Then it's better not to fold the bike. Probably many people do this if there is a place in the garage.

This last issue was just due to the mechanic's mistake I think. After it's correcting all should be well! Thanks and I hope you've enjoyed your weekend!

I also like when I see someone who really takes care of an item they have, such as taking care of a bicycle or others. for bicycles I also like bicycles because bicycles are the simplest vehicles for us to use. especially like the bicycle that you have shown that seems to be very easy for us because we can fold the bike by having a smaller size than the basic size. Thank you very much sir for presenting a very good article for us. and also very interesting poetry for us to hear.I hope you are in good condition and everything is made easy.

I think the selling point for this bike is the fold. It's all about the fold haha. Very simple, classy and easy but the fold comes with a price haha. So sorry about the stress. I kind of like the Bike and haven't seen this type before. I hope the third ride turns out great for you sir...without any issue. Happy Sunday and happy new month. My regards to Amstel...with a sweet and soft belly rub.

Thanks, man. You are totally right, the fold is really what made Brompton what it is. Once I get this last hiccup fixed I hope there will be many years of trouble-free riding after that. Happy Sunday to you! Amstel is still loving life. : ). https://i.imgur.com/eBG5CFz.jpg

It's so wonderful seeing you both sir. Amstel is really loving life hahaha. Love that. I hope you get it fixed. I am sure you will enjoy it for longer time too. It's a good buy and you have such an amazing taste for great things sir.

My friend bought a folding bike. I haven't checked it yet, but he said that it is heavier than a normal bike. True?

The Bromptons aren't very heavy at all. Mine weighs in at around 24lbs. What brand did your friend buy?
