A bit of a sad story about a distinctive Brompton in London. http://road.cc/content/news/233442-stolen-bike-alert-london-cyclist-tells-how-he-was-mugged-his-brompton

Picked this Phillips Folda up for £20. It's in amazing condition to think its late 79s or early 80s? Thought it's worth a try for the money.

I've just replaced 2 spokes on my 2008 rear wheel. Unfortunately now that it is reassembled and back on the bike, the spoke cover/hub cover has been discovered lying on the workbench. How essential is this for keeping crud out of the hub? Should I disassemble and refit this now or leave it in...

The tyres that were supplied with my Brompton are sucking the life out of me. They are Marathon Plus. 16x13/8 So any recommendations as to a better rolling, quicker tyre. Obviously I will be trading off the puncture protection of the Plus', but dammit, they really are hard work.

I have a Brompton with Marathons on. There or four punctures in 3-4 years. All of them I think are rim tape related. I have (Now for the second time on the back) used electrical tape as well. The issue is that the valley of the rim is v shaped so it is impossible to get it seated flat About...

Ever since the nickel-plated Brompton was introduced, I'd been looking rather wistfully at them. The problem was, as I had a rather non-standard Brompton at the time (8-speed Sturmey Archer), and Brompton didn't sell the frame on its own, I'd have had to buy an expensive bike and then make the...

This morning i picked up my new Brompton - it's lovely! My other bikes are insured against theft and damage on my home insurance policy. I rang them to add my new bike and was told that i have reached the limit in value of bikes that they will include on the policy. I was prepared to increase my...

Looks lighter .. but the brake pad . Some like marathon racer tyers

Heads up for Brompton owners. Cant see this posted elsewhere. https://www.brompton.com/recall

I received this email today ... Edit. I ran the check and my bike is affected. I'll keep you posted how it goes. Voluntary Recall Notice FAG Bottom Bracket cartridge BB66 (April 2014 – May 2017) Through our warranty and quality assurance process we have become aware of an issue...

I didn’t like the standard Brompton rack, so removed it from my bike and sold it. A few weeks on and I realised that as well as the obvious ability to carry stuff, the rack protected the mudguard from scratching and the bike was much easier to wheel around on 4 wheels than 3. I also got fed up...

Hello, I am debating wether to buy a Brompton cycle. It's basically the small fold I am interested in. I visited a main Brompton dealer in Birmingham to look at the bikes. Now, the chap in the shop described the method of changing the two triggers and what they are changing...but me being...

I am going to Paris next week for a business trip and ordinarily I get around ok via their tube network. But I am considering taking my brompton and avoiding having to use any public transport and might give me a bit more scope to do some sight seeing in my free evening. Does anyone have any...

These are parts which were replaced when upgrading from a 3 speed BSR Sturmey hub Brommie to the 8 speed SA hub by means of the Kinetics conversion kit. I doubt if I had exceeded 300 miles before upgrading. I'm selling these as a complete 3 speed kit. The 3 speed kit consists of a standard rear...

I'm on my Brompton pulling away from a stop this morning and I feel the back wheel wobble in an alarming fashion. Stopping quickly as possible I check the bike over and somehow I've lost one of the bolts holding the rear spindle in place. The replacement part would be £20 but Brompton recommend...

I've fitted Tannus tyres to my Brompton. Fitting them is probably worth a thread of its own, but suffice to say it's doable at home but very difficult - and I consider myself a fairly competent home mechanic. I've done 10 miles on them and my initial impressions are that they're absolutely...

Velovision had a great scoop on Saturday Simon the new editor was able to interview Bromptons MD and discover revealing plans for the new electric version . The video can be found on VV website

Demo bikes at The Prudential Ride London event this weekend.

i've just got around to removing and greasing the BB on my few hundred miles old Brompton. It's a FAG with plastic cups - the fixed cup side of which I've sheared off the outer portion: This doesn't affect the function, but I suspect it will be a hacksaw and hammer job to remove the remains...

I'm seriously thinking of bring my Brommie over to the village i have a house in Spain but it is seriously hilly around here, so what adjustments will I be able to make or get my LBS to do to make it a bit easier to get up the hills. Also what would i expect to pay for the adjustments.

Hi I have a 2015 Lagoon Blue with firm suspension,Marathon tyres,mudguards and reduced gearing that I bought from Cycle Heaven in York along with a hard case for storage and transport. I have all receipts. The bike has been used for holidays only whilst at my caravan in Hornsea. At most covered...

Hard to get, but really nice paint, heard it was done in house. Ok, not functional upgrade but still... :tongue::wahhey::evil:

Does anyone have a link to a exploded diagram of the rear brake assembly? I found this site https://brompton.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203295871-Download-all-data-schematics But it doesn't include what I want. The problem I'm having is that the rear caliper appears to have lost its...

I bought a replacement front lamp for my Brompton about 18 months ago. It runs off the hub dynamo While it is much brighter than the lamps I used before, it annoyingly interferes with the front pannier. The lamp is basically too big. Can anyone recommend another lamp, preferably with measurements?

I hesitate to post this as it's such a minor thing, but I've picked up many minor tips over the years and this may be useful for some. The original plastic bit that covers the left hand front wheel nut on a Brompton (left in photo below) and offers some protection against bashing the chainstay...

I had a bit of a close call this morning and came closer than I would have liked to being under a Nisan Nirvara. View: https://youtu.be/R0aZqtEq3-k Audio removed due to getting a bit sweary. Caught up with the guy about a mile down the road to try and explain to him the error of his ways and...

In the first flush of Brompton ownership I bought 2 of these, but really only need 1, so will sell this for £5 posted. Sells for £2.95 at Ikea - I'm not trying to rip anyone off, it will cost me £2.90 to post! Payment by bank transfer please...

Should be fun, eh? LINK
