Hi, Clint from Blue Lug Yoyogi-Park here.<\/p>\n

Great news for Brompton riders.<\/p>\n

We just got these Brompton front racks made by Nitto!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is a front rack that makes it possible to install baskets on Bromptons. Something we have been waiting for!<\/p>\n

Introducing…<\/p>\n

NITTO BM-1F BROMPTON FRONT CARRIER<\/a><\/h2>\n

This is a front rack designed specifically for the front luggage\/carrier mounting block for Bromptons.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just simply slide the rack into the front luggage mounting block and you’re all set. <\/span><\/p>\n

AND, it’s made by Nitto.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The top is the same dimensions of the *NITTO* M-1B front rack, but the Brompton rack has a “Brompton friendly update”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

What a genius!<\/p>\n

There is a plate at the end of the rack that has a hole for installing the Koma Lights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Koma light mounting hole is threaded, so you can install the light without any tools.<\/p>\n

If you want to use a traditional bike light that you strap onto the handlebar, you can use the eyelets that are on both sides with a lamp holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This also looks great.<\/p>\n

The rack itself is not large, so big baskets like the Wald 139 or Milk Crates won’t work.<\/p>\n

Bronptons are 16″ wheel bikes, so we do not recommend packing a lot of stuff in the basket. It is for making your daily commutes a bit more convenient.<\/p>\n

\n

Here are some good baskets to use with these racks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25fe\ufe0f *WALD* 137 half basket<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25fe\ufe0f*BL SELECT* everyday basket<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You are probably wondering, would it fold properly with a basket?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, but you can also remove the rack easily, so you can just stack the rack + basket like in the photo above when folding.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We usually use zipties or Voile Straps to fix the basket to the rack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FYI, they can be attached onto Bike Fridays too, as long as your Bike Friday has the Brompton Luggage Mounting Block that are in their additional option when ordering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

They are available in all Blue Lug physical stores and at Bike Friday Tokyo now.<\/p>\n

Online Launch is Sep. 16th (Tue) 7:00pm JST<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
