Brompton for beginners questions

[e-rider]

I have fitted the 44T chainring and new shorter chain - cost me £35 in total - I plan to ride 25 miles tomorrow so I'll see how the new gear ratios go!

44T ring is better - I can now use all 6 gears - the new highest gear spins out in the high twentys which is fine - if I'm heading towards 30mph then I no longer need to pedal as I'm going downhill!

With my old 50T chainring, I span out at about 40 mph. That feels a bit on a Brommie!
