but you don't want to put anything "cheap looking" on a Brompton!!
The Brompton rack seem the best value out there at £80
For sure
I am in the process of buying a rack myself but I am thinking about getting a after market one that somebody here has used for some time.
There has been some talk about the "no rack no fender" B`s (are they called E?) falling over and some gadget to put between the hook and the rear stay to lift the front axel a bit up when folded. Not sure if this makes a difference with the bikes with rack and fender. You could look into it, like cutting open a 1" piece of the rubberhose used in car cooling systems or similar and hook it over the stay under the hook. If it works better than without you could make or buy something less crappy looking for long term use. I think I remember you can buy a "fatter" plastic hook or a plastic or alu piece to atatch to the rear stay. Not super expensive the last time i looked.
