Brompton owners

No, and that's my point. I wish they would, but then I shudder what the price would be.

Whats your point?

Brompton DO use chromoly steel...

Really? I never knew. There's no mention of it on their site, but that's good to know. Thanks!

I thought they were gaspipe hi ten or mild steel

They mention Cromo here

They have this weird materials PDF worksheet task thing though which says mild steel.

how old is that?

How would I know?
I don't know what the hell they're made from. Just posting my findings

Brompton chat-bot is currently telling me it's 'similar to chromoly'.

sorry I thought you knew more, just a random thing you found then I guess?

Haha sorry, didn't mean to be snappy. Yeah I've no idea, just googled. You're the expert boss

Im pretty sure they make it up as they go along tbh!

So as I use my Brompton less and less I think it’s soon time to move him on..

Kojaks - folding

Spec is variable

Virtually all tempered steels are cro-moly alloys. It’s steel, with the main alloying elements being chrome and molybdenum. Reynolds 531 is managanese-molybdenum, just to be different.

DIBS, photos and price?

Ottomanotter: I'd be interested in the ti seat post please!

Is there a firmer rear suspension block that's stiffer than the firm block i already have fitted?

Yeah, Sjs do one that's been discussed a few times. Good upgrade IMO.

is it this one?

I might get that and some Kojaks as a mini upgrade

Yeah that’s the one!

Well worth it. Would say I noticed the suspension block upgrade more than Kojaks.

Hmm i want them but they're not an essential upgrade, I have the standard brompton tyre on there at the mo (from 2015).

stopping the squish of the rear end is more important at the moment

I have some black Kojaks you can have for a tenner if you'd like. I don't really need 4.

Totally agree. Stopping bounce in the rear makes a huge change
