brompton

Hi guys, I recently bought a Brompton M6L. I tried to use it this morning but about half way through I noticed that the numbered gears (on the right handlebar) were not changing properly - gear 1 is now gear 2, and gears 2 and 3 are both gear 3 (the gear doesn't change when I move between 2 and...

I am expecting my first brompton soon, a single speed with S handle and mudguards. I know already I want to change the axels for quick release. Sjs cycles seems to have one for the front, but can't find any rear one. Has anyone done this change? The idea of carrying a spanner on longer rides to...

An old Brompton for £7495. Is there actually a market for this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333577199941

Well, renovation is probably over-egging it. I got our ancient folder out of storage the other day, pumped up the tyres and gave it a clean. Discovered a broken rear spoke. Of course I had nothing of that length in stock, so had to measure it and order one. In removing the wheel (having...

Afternoon all hope you are staying safe. So I love the look and the idea behind foldable bikes but what if I wanted something like this but I dont need the folding bit. I commute to work almost all year round except for snow & ice and its an 8 mile round trip from Cheshire country lanes into...

This is a new scheme from Brompton which allows you to order a Brompton direct from the factory and have it delivered to your house during this crisis: https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/brompton-trialling-direct-home-delivery-during-lockdown-453739

Brompton is trying to provide the NHS staff with 1000 Bromptons to get to work. If you can donate, please do. If not, please at least share the link. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/wheelsforheroes

Jannie and I have both had our Bromptons for a while now. We ride them almost everywhere and do not need to wheel them about on the rack wheels very often. But even when we move them for storing them it is obvious that they lean away from the crank and are unstable. I recently decided to buy...

Just bought a Brompton. Are folding pedals necessary ?

Our daughter who lives in the Portobello area of Edinburgh sent me this. The local bookshop has started a home delivery service using Bromptons 😁

Has anyone here bought a Kinetics Brompton Rohloff kit and fitted it themselves?

Inspired by my other thread about winter, and this video that I posted on YouTube a couple of years ago, I wondered if anyone has any recommendations for alternative derailleurs that aren't fully enclosed with the chain guides so they're easier to clean. View: https://youtu.be/E4nh0aEiBeI Be...

Well I’ve done it, after a few days of haggling, I’ve managed to find a cheap Brompton. I’ve wanted one for ages but also I like to fiddle and fettle, so this one fits the bill perfectly. It’s 3 speed model, it needs a new chain ring as it’s bent but I’ve already sourced a replacement, let’s...

There's a heavily modified Brompton on ebay with an asking price of £5,500. It appears the bike is owned by someone in Reading, Berkshire, who says it weighs 8kg, but is still practical to use. Looks a bit lacking in the spoke department to me. Interesting as an exercise of the possible...

Hi I need to purchase a pump for my Brompton with Schwalbe Marathon tyres. I'm wanting mini / lightweight - with a hose - maybe can be stored in the frame - where the Brompton tool kit goes - but not essential. Can anyone recommend a suitable , budget-end Lezyne or Topeak pump (with hose)...

In a complete contrast to my normal impulse buying (especially any time concerned with cycling), I have taken well over two years to decide how to spend a legacy I received from my late father-in-law. I considered putting together a Fixe, flirted with the idea of a mountain-bike, but in the end...

Hi I've found that a dutch company is making telescopic handlebar stems for Brompton. https://www.eerdermetaal.nl/telescopische_stuurpen.html https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/558868634984962583/?lp=true View: https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/558868634984289459/?lp=true I think it looks great for...

Hi I've just bought a cateye omni 5 rear light: https://www.cateye.com/intl/products/safety_lights/TL-LD155-R/ But i can't figure out where best to attach the light fixture on my L type Brompton's rear end. (L type = mudguard only / no rack) 1. I want to keep the rear reflector that came...

I've been hankering after a Brompton for a while now. My daily commuter is a Cube mtb that I put an electric kit on. I can go anywhere on it and won't be getting rid of it but it is a heavy lump to take in the car. So for summer use when I go away for weekends I want a folder. Saw the B75 this...

No idea where the desire has come from, but I really want a brompton. But I don't know what to use it for? I've got a commuter for the 6 mile work trip, and a roadie for the weekends - so why should I get a brompton? My wife has done a lot of eye rolling...

Hi Can anyone recommend or advise what i need to purchase to use my brompton bike as a home exercise bike ? Thanks for your attention folks s

Thought about fitting these to my non Brompton folder but it turns out these would be too tight a fit. £80 inc UK P&P

Never opened, still in packaging £12 inc UK P&P

Hi I'd like any product links or advice on converting a brompton to a twist gear lever handle system. I'm okay on cable lengths - i just need to make sure i understand twist gear handles and any other issues people know about. I'm converting a brompton 6 speed standard hub gear mechanism as...

Hi Newbie question here; sorry – most probably really obvious to others….. Can anyone recommend a quick release bolt which will fit the standard Brompton folding bike stem handlebar - clamp bolt hole sizes ?Does anyone know what diameter those bolt hole sizes are ? Recommends, links and pics...

This Red Brompton was stolen with other bikes from Atterbury Street, London this afternoon. A passer by took this photo of a guy attacking another bike with a grinder. They were too afraid to approach them. Notice how he is wearing a helmet and viz belt to blend in as a cyclist. Any...

As some may have seen in my wanted post I've managed to find a donor bike for my Brompton project, thanks again to @ABikeCam - I hope to get it back up and running and will document my efforts here :okay: Here is the bicycle in question: It has been stripped for spares so there are a few...

Just had a test ride on a standard 3-speed Brompton form Evans in Leeds. Was OK really but I found the gearing to be a bit high. I think I used 3rd just once in the few hours I had it. Was nearly always in 1st with the occasional relaxed cruising on the flat in 2nd. I'm not a fit or fast...
