Product Details

The full stainless steel #Seatposthugger Model 6 is based on the Full metal Bracket and has the same proven length as the Seatposthugger Model 4 series. Which means it's suitable for all saddle positions, low and high, so for all people short to tall

The seatposthugger is a luggage carrier which is designed to hold the Brompton front carrier block and clamps onto your Brompton 31.8mm seatpost. It's compaitble with the luggage frames of Brompton (supplied with their bags) and most copies (not all) made by other brands like Trigo.

Adjusting the Seatposthugger:

The Model 6 can be adjusted to slide freely by opening the Quick release clamp and loosing the brass wing nut at the bottom to get the desired smooth sliding. This wing nut is meant to be used for clamping and also to improve the torsional stiffness (only desireable for heaver loads, so not always needs to be tight) During installation you might need to re-adjust the Quick release depending on the exact diameter and condition of your seatpost.

Installing the Seatposthugger Model 6

Check the video below for instructions on how to remove the saddle and remove the secondary clamp in case you have a telescopic seatpost.

So in case you have a standard or extended (60 mm longer plain) seatpost you just remove the saddle and slide the Seatposthugger onto the post.

In case you have a telescopic seatpost you can remove the saddle with the secondary seatpost still attached to it. Then remove the secondary clamp, slide the Seatposthugger onto the seatpost, install the clamp again

Note: In case you have a post 2017 Brompton with telescopic seatpost you can remove the secondary clamp by pressing a thin object into the little hole in order to press the underlying plastic latch you see in the video. While pressing the thin object you can slide the clamp down 3 inches or more. Then remove the plastic sleeve from the seatpost by again pressing the integrated latch and slide the seatposthugger onto the seatpost. Install the secondary clamp like shown in the video.

Note: In case you have a pre 2017 Brompton with telescopic seatpost the secondary clamp is secured to the seatpost with a small Allen bolt and special nut inside the plastic sleeve. Undo the bolt with a properly fitting Allen key but be careful to not lose it or lose the washer. The little special nut can be pressed out with the bolt or the allen key. In case you have a seatpost bung on the underside the nut will fall inside the post and ends up on the bung. Turn around the seatpost to free the nut. If the seatpost has an open end the nut will fall on the ground, so be very careful not to lose it.

Happy riding!
