    Brompton (which one?) or Birdy, or even moulton ?

    Just to help guide my decision, I find myself in the market for a small folding bike, Brompton being the obvious starting point. I envisage using it whilst working away, in London if training it to London an this kind of thing. So having got used to fairly nice bikes for everyday use, I don't...

    Brompton 1 speed and 2 speed chain tensioners

    Does anyone know if there is any difference other than flanged pulley wheels (2 speed) and unflanged (1 speed)? Except for the sliding flanged pulleys they seem identical, which would indicated that if pulleys were replaced on a 1 speed it would work for a 2 speed given that the other necessary...

    Convert Brompton to Recumbent?

    My brompton doesn't get much use. Been thinking about selling it, but I have this crazy idea of turning it into a recumbent. It has the SA 8 speed upgrade and with it's rear suspension I think it would make a fun 'bent. I'm not worried about keeping the fold, so really just after brazing on a...

    Mysterious Brompton light!

    Mrs Poacher just announced that the rear light on her Brompton was on. Big deal, you say? Well, the thing is, her Brompton doesn't actually have a rear light, except for the superflash I installed at the top of the extended seat post, and it wasn't that. Turns out that what we'd thought was a...

    Honking on yer Brompton - can you, do you?

    This comes from another thread where I mentioned that honking on a Brompton is nigh-on impossible. I was it seems soon put right by those who do and can. So I had another go when out this morning and whilst I can do it just about, it doesn't feel natural, advantageous or 'safe' , whereas...

    Brompton M+ skittishness?

    Last weekend put M+ tyres F&R on the Brompton, replacing a pair of Brompton Kevlar tyres that were wearing a bit thin on the rear. On last weeks genteel ride noticed that the rear felt a bit squirmy on a couple of occasions. This morning on a shopping run on damp roads and paths have found the...

I feel I need to be sat up a bit higher on my brompton so I have bought the longer post to swap over. the only draw back is the saddle now will not push down so tight into the frame With it being longer. Anyone use the telescopic post...

    Brompton Rear wheel removal (S6L) and 2x M+ fitted .... am feeling EPIC!

    Well now I know that removing the rear wheel is not that big an issue so no longer scary. Also know how to fit an M+ to a Brompton wheel. No sweat (OK, some swearing but I still have both thumbs). 2 Dragons slain and I feel EPIC!

    Replace brompton parts often?

    I know on a brompton the parts need replacing more often than on a larger bike. I researched rims and various drivetrain parts need replacing often but what is your experience in how long the various parts last?

    Brompton 15% off - should I stock up?

    I've got a voucher code for 15% off on the Brompton site. I don't want any of their gifts or clothing & I already have all the bags I need. I wonder if I should just stock up on consumables while I have the chance - a spare chain, maybe replacement handlebar grips. Any thoughts? I don't want to...

    Brommie - slipping seat post

    I have a problem with my Brompton. The seat post keeps slipping. By the time I've cycled the three miles from the station to work, it has slipped about two inches. However, if I tighten the nut sufficiently to stop the slippage, I cannot fold and unfold the bike. Does this indicate some...
