Don't know about tikit but dahons are crap. They handle like a wet noodle and don't fold up nearly as easily or as small. With the tyres properly inflated a flat is almost a non issue. Even considering the minor hassle involved on the rare occasion of a rear flat the Brompton is a far better bike.

I almost never remove wheels on my Brompton to fix a puncture. I just pop out the right bit of tube and slap on a patch.Also, there are MASSIVELY better way to stand a Brompton to work on it.Ian

The best why to fix a rrear punture is to fold the rear wheel and take it off that why. It a lot better why and more stable.

Oh, it's also unnecessary to remove the brake pads. A flat tyre will pass between them easily enough. Just don't reinflate it until it's back in place.

Or buy Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. Sorted.

Definitely...as long as the puncture isn't too big to repair or near the valve stem. 7 minutes and he didn't even repair the tire. I'd be on the roadside forever. Good thing they're small enough to just fold up and take home or to the shop.

just patch the inner tube. There is no need to take off the entire wheel

This is great! Every time I get the urge to buy a BRoMPToN, I watch this video and it kills the desire. Hmm, tikit or Dahon? |
