Essential if you are using Brompton luggage!

Tools required:
4mm allen key / hex wrench
Cross head screwdriver

This is the block as described below:

Brompton front luggage options are based on the Brompton 'Front Carrier System'. Luggage is attached via a frame that latches securely onto a tapered block. It takes a second to attach or release your bag and the load is attached directly to the main frame - with little effect on steering.
