Brompton owners

Those are all pre built customs on sjs, except the Brompton ones.

Email ryan@sjscycles.com, we take PayPal, I can send you a direct invoice...

Those bars would work, but they are fucking huge... so unless old m type then you will have super high bars!

What stem you got?

—- didn’t really read what you said...

I’d go for a mid rise bar, or those ones offered would be ideal.

Check your FB. Ryan is posting me stuff. Get him to chuck it in. Don't mind sorting out payment for you too if it's an issue.

Love you. xx

Sent you an email, Ryan... Thanks, @cake!

Love you more... Obvs... 😘

I usually get 1000-1200 miles out of a chain and sprockets on a 2 speed. When it's too far gone the chain is quite loose on the chainset and can sometimes fall off during the fold.

Saw some smart new Conti tyres for Brompton the other day. Not too heavy casing, 35mm, reflective strip. Half way between a Kojak and a Marathon / more towards the Kojak if anything. Out fairly soon I hope.

Just drop me a msg when you are ready.

Schwalbe One Tans are now available!

OH wait, no, too much demand you cant order them.

ermmm?

They arent here yet, you can have a few, maybe next week to order...

FML.

Perfecting timing, my kojaks are ruined!

give it 2 weeks, probably still wont have any..

So there's no way of us plebs getting tanwall Brompton tyres? Boo.

I have 2 Kojaks, Will sell them to the highest bidder and who does the Alan Partridge dance as well. (not @amey)

£50 a pop... we are literally getting a handful so be quick or preorder with me.

Bloody hell, that's like top end money for normal road tyres.

Always replace chain and sprocket even if it’s not that worn.

Are the tyres UK only? Or do you think some would be available in France? Am going there for a few weeks so was wondering if I can be nice to hoke and profit from the hipsters ;)

Would love to take a pair too please

Because I'm a bit sad I hunted down the designer of the 2018 BWC artwork who gave me permission to get it printed. I have two spare, would anybody like one?

@Rhobbs is there a worthwhile chainset upgrade for brompton?

How long are the stock cranks? Does single ring Dura ace or similair work functionally and save any weight?

Not uk only, normal Brompton limits so you will be fine to order.

Email Ryan@sjscycles.com to set up pre orders please :)

Stock are 170mm,

Worthwhile...

Lighter such as litepro = a bit cheese etc.

DA etc are “nicer” stiffer but not lighter.. I honestly just like the stock cranks with a different bb and chainring. Simple, stuff and light enough!

Sorry for all the questions,

What’s the recomemded Brompton bb?
And what’s the recomended chainring or is it a common bcd (guessing not).

Do I have to get 170 or will 165 fold ok?

Also, do you ever personally get hold of ti rear triangles/ forks?

Cheers

68x119, un55 118mm works fine. Ti parts for weight saving. £120 though!

165 or 175 would work fine!
130bcd 5 bolt, any single ring works, Brompton do 44/50/54, smallest you can fit is 39t - shimano or thorn do ones to suit.

Biggest is 58, 60t hits the chainstay but you just use a 122mm bb

Yes and no, if I have reason to I can get them

Anyone looking for some P bars? I just swapped mine out and they’re going spare.

If anyone’s interested, swapped them for (older) M bars and no need to change cables or anything (2015 model).

Say there's a 2019 H6L I like in my LBS

Would replacing the bars with mid-rise/flat bars work, or does the H stem have less of a forward position?

It's difficult to find info on this.

Why not just buy the right bike?

Ie. An M or S type?
