I had some time this morning whilst Mrs Gunk popped out to see her Mum. I decided to fit the dynamo kit. The garage has got far too much in it but I managed to find some room for a stand.
It took about an hour and quarter to fit, very straightforward, in fact the hardest part was swapping the front tyre over!
I used the Brompton installation instructions, but because the kit was used it was easy to see where the loom had been previously fitted.
The rear light has a rechargeable battery so it stays on when you come to a stop, all clever stuff!
checked the fold and all perfectly OK, however you can feel the additional weight when lifting it.
For only £90 IMO it was an upgrade well worth doing. With retirement looming in a couple of months and planning to go down to just one car for a while, it should get plenty of use.
