brompton

For sale is my S4L Brompton. Basically an S2L with a manual move Stronglight double chain set 52/28 teeth, which is great for taking the B into the hills. The change down is by kicking with heel which is instant, the change back onto the large ring takes about 10 seconds at the top of the hill -...

A nice wee video showing how a Brompton is made.

Hi all, I've got a Brompton on order (S6L) but before it comes I'd just like to pick your brains as to a) whether any of you use bar ends with an S and b) if so which ones - since they need to be stubby enough to be able to fold up OK. Any advice much appreciated! Cheers, Mel.

Hi all Fitted one of those monkii clips to the handlebar stem on my Brompton and it looks like its going to fowl with the cables coming down from the handle bars. Anyone used one of these clips. Have I done something wrong?

Hi all, been a long time since I posted last. Hope all the regulars are good. I've been off cycling for a while, but hoping to get back into it with a new(ish) job that is cycle commutable. So...I've taken the plunge and bought a Brompton on the cycle to work scheme. Since I work in a city...

Hello all, I'm interested in a hard case for my Brompton that can be used as a trailer. I think I've seen previously a kit to convert the B&W case to a trailer but can't find it anywhere - any idea's?

So today, I cleaned my whole drivetrain by taking the chain off and cleaning the jockey wheels and front ring from all the horrible sludge that has built up over the winter. While doing that, I figured I'd do the job that I've been meaing to get onto since I lowered the bars from H type to low...

When ride in rain, road debris can get into seat post hole. I can feel the friction when I slide the seat post in or out of the frame. If I remove the seat post I can see or feel the stuff with my hand. They may get in from under the frame, where there is a opening to the ground. I have the...

I read somewhere s type can only take s bag, but also somewhere latest models (2015, 2016) can take all bags? Or is the latest bags designed differently to fit on s bar?

Hello all, can anyone tell me if the carrier frame I use for my T bag and folding basket will fit the S bag? Ta!

Does anyone happen to know if a Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit mini is big enough to lock up a Brompton when its folded?

Hi all. Whilst I'm waiting for my brompton to arrive I'm sitting down and thinking of tools... My riding is mainly going to be rural roads so a mobile phone and debit card is not as ideal as it would be in a city. With that in mind I do think I need to carry a small puncture repair kit. My...

1. What is the best oil for the Brompton and how often do I need to oil it? I have been a bit lax in this department. 2. Can the Brompton cope alright with bumpy canal paths at a reasonable speed? It's the Chichester canal which is most of my 2 mile ride to and from the station, now the...

While sitting on a 2 speed S type brompton in a local bikeshop - I was suprised how low the bar was, considering the seat was not at full extension. I know the S type has the lowest bar height but was led to believe not the shortest stem. This bike had a shorter stem than a M type. Visually this...

I am thinking of getting an 2 speed S-type Brompton with straight handlebars. Which front panniers are compatible with with it? I would like to get the largest one possible. I have often heard that only the S-type pannier would fit, but it seems to me there is space to fit a larger one.

Can't decide between a S bar and M bar. S bar a little low for me while M a little too close to my body. Can i just pivot the M bar a little forward to increase reach and lower the bar at the same time? Will that affect the folding?

My classic 3-speed Brompton is beginning to get a bit tired. The gear feels as if it needs a good clean, and the aluminium rack has snapped. Now that I'm working in London much less I'm tempted to convert it from a pure commuting folder into a commuting-touring hybrid folder - with half an eye...

:eek: ....

Being a Brompton virgin ... with a neglected machine to refurbish I have a few questions please. The machine I have is, I think, a T type c 2003/4 - had a 3-speed hub and 2-speed deraiilleur - AFAIK the chainset is original. The previous owner in his wisdom removed the derailleur but didn't...

Last year I bought an S2L and only started using it this week. I love it coz it's its the same speed as my road bike when commuting. The rb is obvsly faster but the brommie doesn't need to hang around at red lights. When they approach, I whip off the bike, run across like a pedestrian, and hop...

I just wondered what makes a Brompton worth nearly a thousand pounds in comparison with many of the cheaper folders that are now available? Is it the components? Frame materials? Great service if something goes wrong? They seem to be the folder of choice for many, have a great following and...

Like this: Topped out at 40mph this morning down Marlow Hill. I normally go a little faster, but: a) it was icy and I was slightly concerned about being able to stop b) I had to stop on the hill to set the camera rolling. It's not that interesting except to prove the naysayers wrong. View...
