  • I know Brompton suggest replacing the sprockets when fitting a new chain, but after just 1100 miles over 6 months? Seriously? Went back to the 50T chainring yesterday, and rather than refit the links that I took off when downsizing to the 44T I decided to buy a new chain. The 16T was "Ok", but the 13T jumped like buggery under any strain.

    Must be made of cheese.

    Really need to investigate more into converting SRAM sprockets.

  • Chain and sprocket wear out faster on a Brompton, especially considering how close the chain and cassette is to the Tarmac and the small sprocket also a major contributing factor.
    what you described is sound very normal.

    If you want it to last longer, a 3 speed or single speed will do this.
