[Cycling essentials] Brompton specific bottle cage mount adapter, 2 seconds quick release! The predecessor B-Mount system.

The three biggest folding bike brands, Birdy, Brompton and ORi have some small characteristics in common...
 
They have no bottle cage mounting wholes!  
 
Perhaps the main reason is it's regarded as a short-range commuter bike, But in fact, there are many kinds of rider who use the folding bike for recreational use,So long as your riding time is over 20 minutes, then you need to drink water for your health!

 

Under any circumstance don't drink little amounts of water, doctors recommend to regularly hydrate yourself while riding, Preferably every 20 minutes (depending on climate and sweating amount) drink water, Water distribution within the human body also needs some time, We cannot wait until we are thirsty to drink water, Your body can't be recharged via USB!

 

Therefore, to install the bottle cage on a Brompton, Taking into consideration the dimensions and specifications of the problem, you have little choice, BIKEfun used in the past the Monkii Clip to solve this problem.

 

But after installing the monkey clip, you can only use the Velcro Monkii Cage bottle cage.

Monkii Clip + Cage is a good economic option, With only 690 NTD can solve your drinking problem!

However...

Later we observed while presenting it to riders, The customers would usually complain that the Monkii products are too ugly. 

Because there are many Brompton owners that in their heart don't want the economic option...

Just like when you where choosing brompton:

What you want is fine quality merchandise!

 

So BIKEfun began to conceptualize and design since two years ago, Until June 2014 before mass production commenced, This is for the Brompton owners, the specially crafted luxury program:

BIKEfun Bottle Cage Adaptor.

 

 

In order to achieve a frame shape similar to the quality of an iPhone,

During production, we wished that the product is not dependent of a screw latch, so it is made from single piece of aluminum,From hollowing it from the inside to lose weight, to any single angle where there may be metal stress release points,BIKEfun used for the first time the five-axis CNC machining to make a component!

We did not expect that BIKEfun, after seven years in development of commodity products, through the most complex road testing programs...

Ended up making the Brompton bottle cage mount! !

(The following is a sample of the production process, the actual production was made with CNC machines)

 

In the end,

the luxurious program is completed, we can confidently say:This should now be the world's most beautiful Brompton Bottle Cage Adapter.

 

Two colors are available: retro bright silver and low-key black anodized

Each priced at 1,900 NTD

 

Besides aluminum alloy parts, the golden parts are made of copper with the intent to decorate, All the lines of the adapter mount are no shaped at random, no extra useless lines.

 

After extreme weight shaving thanks to its hollowness, the whole weight ends in just 60g, 60g is just as heavy as the plastic Monkii Clip!

 

Details hidden in places you cannot see!

 

Bottle Cage Mount adapter, we are selling you an extender of possibilities.

From then on you can choose any bottle cage you like!

Whichever you feel happy with, no constraint!

How do you use it?...

BIKEfun made a video to end any "how to use?" questions. Please see the movie.

 

After buying the Water Bottle Mount adapter, you will be presented with some protective transparent stickers, to avoid scratches on your paint,We guarantee that the sticker provided won't turn yellow after a year of use, imported from the USA.

 

It doesn't matter what kind of Brompton rider you are, M Bar / P Bar / S Bar, it can be used with all these bars!

Mounted on the M Bar.

 

You can install any bottle cage you want, and this photo we used the American ARUNDEL stainless steel water bottle cage.

 

Installed on the P Bar is also OK!

 

The Bottle Cage Mount adapter has three contact points with your bike so as not to scratch the bike, it is our first consideration!

 

You don’t have to remove it when folding,but if you want to reduce the volume you just need two seconds to remove the bottle cage mount!

 

Installed on the S Bar

In this position it is always accessible, while on a red light you can instantly drink a mouthful of water,From now on, you'll no longer make a big fuss looking for a drink on the roadside.

 

After installation, the bottle cage mount looks just like an original part of your Brompton bike.

 

The Bottle Cage Mount we wished to design, Is just like the BIKEfun aluminum seat tube and brooks C17 saddle, although they are not original parts, the leave no trace of change in taste after modification!

 

The above mentioned two golden components are made of copper

But we wonder if you have not noticed, there is a small hex screw?...

This is the "conversion space" that BIKEfun has reserved.

 

Using it in the middle of the handle bar, simply put the things you need!

Mobile phones, cameras, and navigation devices and bicycle computers...

The debut was in July 2014 and can serve as an anchor for the Topeak RideCase Mount
