Brompton owners

So one further question: I have 2011 Brompton and chainset is apparently a bit bent so would like to replace it. I am happy to replace bb along with getting a new chainset, but what are my options with a brompton from this era? By UTFS I read Tester disagreeing with Sheldon Brown advice about ISO vs JIS and now I'm very scared

I am happy to replace bb

I have a free one for you

HTII

just fit a JIS on the new chainset, I have one to sell if you need and @amey has a bb..

I have a spare pair of track cranks for square taper - can I use those? Or a shimano double but using only the big ring? I think it would be cool to put on other cranks as I think brompton cranks are fuck ugly.

pretend for a moment that I have no idea about bbs.

first person to say they dont like brompton cranks! whats not to like? they are just simple..

Yes, lots of other cranks "fit" but unlikely to be able to fold the left pedal over, and there wont be a stop so naturally it will hit the frame and kill the paint ..

excellent points. So am guessing people who stick on dura ace cranks are doing much folding eh - I was not going to do that btw.

So how much for ur cranks Dr. Helpful? (no sarcasm)

either that or just using non folding pedals and getting hit in the shins!

black or silver? and for 6 speed or ? (chainring size changes)

DA cranks fold just fine

You WOULD say that

they are the reason I have a spare BB

With the folding pedal too?

Yep

Pics?

subbed because new owner.

Are you sure you have the legs for a single speed?
