Brompton owners

2 months old, go back to shop, if any failure / issue - warranty.

Yes agreed, though as I work for the shop I'm just saving time by checking it myself first.

26.6mm!

Cool, it’s prob easier to get the whole unit together tbh, @maynardeames will be along shortly to tell you the part number etc. Think they’re £20 retail and it’s a 5 minute job to fit

Not been made for at least 5 years! just push back to brompton for a replacement, then get a Hubsmith in there!

They'd hold freehub spares though, surely? Or at least a full hub so I can take the freehub off - CBA rebuilding a wheel. Anyway I'm speculating now, will check inside first.

they will just replace the wheel.

Wheel / Nuts : )

Damn I kinda hoped it would be 27.2 or some other normal size so I could just drop another seatpost in and do away with the pentaclip thing.

Belated thanks for your reply, will look into the Vostok one. Cheers!

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/search/?term=kuosac%20tele - we have these, but the tubing is thinner and I would rather change the shim in top of the telescopic to something that was ID 27.2!

Custom build..

Short customer, so p type stem with s bar, roughly 60mm lower than s type. Brake levers pulled in, saddle forward, 140mm cranks on 40t chainring and removable pedals!

New bike, 2 months of 3x...

2 months is the first free service (6 weeks).

Actually is probably is closer to 6 weeks and if that's needed for warranty I'll get it looked over soon. Tbh I just adjust as needed and wasn't going to bother. First complete bike I've bought in a long time. Pawls and ratchet looked OK though, the spring clip doesn't seem that strong and perhaps was just misaligned.

A Campag pawl spring clip looks the same shape, don't know about size though. Anyone swapped the Brompton hub spring for another clip of the same size that has more tension/spring?

Project drop some weight... off me and boris!

Anyone fancy a brooks cambium c17? Too heavy...

You can get the same saddle with a hole cut to save more weight.

Still over 400grams!

Nice seat post

Merci, so much lighter than using a pentaclip!

Got a TPW rear hinge spindle/bolts to sell, £30 or so, used but no issues.

£15 posted.

• can provide the washers/bushes you will need for £5 extra and the information of how to fit and the drill bit etc

Now with unnecessary titanium and stickers

Pushed mine, folded, by the saddle through Lewisham Shopping Centre this afterlunch.
The larger diameter TPW Ezy wheels I scored from SJS last week made the task a smidge easier.
I now have 12 weeks supply of Queen's Mix pepper from Flying Tiger (Formerly known as Tiger Tiger).
ETA - That reflects on how often I like to visit Lewisham Shopping Centre.

Hi guys, my black brompton is looking rather crap after years of use and looking to get a nice respray potentially some fade too. Anywhere in london where I can go to help me with that without spending a fortune? I can strip the bike myself (minus the main frame hinges) to save some money.

It not gonna be cheap as the paint is very tough (for obvious reason).
