So two questions..(1) is getting disc brakes on a Brompton a good thing? (2) Is the Kinetics forks worth getting either with or without disc brakes or would the Brompton titanium forks be better (only DP brakes).
1. disc brakes rock.
2. the kinetics fork is "better" than the stock one. It is higher quality tubing, a nice crown, and has proper dropouts.
3. if you dont want disc brakes, go ti fork. tasty.
Speak to ben, he is hugely knowledgeable and helpful.

Thanks for that and I have found Ben very helpful.

I was thinking front disc and rear DP or would discs front and rear will be better?

What disc brakes would you recommend? Post or flat mount? Mechanical or hydraulic? What rotor?

Thanks again for your advice.

I would go full disc.

post mount, (i hate flat), for me, mechanical works and easy to adjust on the fly, hydraulic is easier and no adjustment needed on the fly! 160mm rotors, shimano ones.
