Brompton owners

I bought a 58T Chainring instead....

60t is the one!

In other Brompton related news:

Put look Keos on the brompton for the commute as flats & trainers were munching my feet.

I am now comfortably faster than any other bicycle traffic on the road* and, today, won the commuter cup.

V. Sweaty though...

*between Shoreditch and Paddington on my exact route to the station

They only sold the 60T in China, wanted quick win - ordered Saturday set for delivery today!

I got mine from bikegang - was a bit unhappy about this tbh, but it arrived in 3 days!?

makes an insane difference right?! got a firm suspension in there? thats the next way to win!

between Shoreditch and Paddington

That well known commuter route...

Make sure you put the right length chain on. I though I'd cut mine long enough but SBC reckon I need another link in there.

Yeah - I remember when I used Keos for a few weeks on the run up to the Nocturn last year and how much better proper pedals and shoes feel!
Already got a brompton firm block on there, could really do with something a little firmer, like that one from the fellas who do the carbon wheels and modular cranks - any experience with what’s the firmest you can get?

Yeah - it’s about new chain time anyway so will pop in to SBC and get them to sort out for me.

Chain length and indexing are the two things I’m admittedly not very good at.

Best thing you can go for , tried and tested by myself, https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/frames/joseph-kuosac-suspension-block-for-bromptons-super-firm-black/

for a 58t 2 speed you will need 104links - and new sprockets on the back if your changing chain unless they are sub 25% worn

That’s the badger

just a note, 5 in stock currently, they sell quickly, take a while to come back in, we are upping quantities left right and center, but we are still learning the brand sales as its fairly new to us / the uk!

Will be singlespeed 58X11 - think I have a spare new rear sprocket, otherwise will buy one along with that suspension block and a second black frame clip later this week.
Really annoying how if you add to your basket on SJS and it’s not in stock it doesn’t warn - just doesn’t add to basket... why aren’t frame clips sold in pairs aswell 😂

you will need a 102l then :)

If we have not got stock it should flag this up, or reduce the quantity to what is available!

Excellent - also - 12T is smallest rear isn’t it?

And the Brompton hinge clamps? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/frames/brompton-hinge-clamp-plate-black/

Yes, we are trying to get TPW to make us an 11t though

I was probably drunk, and just didn’t look, been in Chablis for the last week and drunk wine for breakfast lunch and dinner with cheap larger to keep me topped up in between. Sobriety has been difficult so far today.

£50+ ?!

More expensive than a whole Ultegra cassette 😂

I feel you! ha! but yes, sold as singles, not pairs, just as they come from Brompton, maybe we will group them to pairs, as thats how they are useful ... hmm.

£51.99 for a ti one!

Ah fuck it, extra firm block and new drivetrain ordered too.
