Brompton owners

Have you checked the hinge?

Furniture polish (so long as it has some silicone in it) works well to silence a squeaky block.
Rain tends to wash it off.

Is Brompton creak a thing?

No More than any other bike!

@HoKe, old buddy, where can you order a replacement mount for the underneath of your light? One of mine is worn out too

Cheers!

Edit: googled it! 🤦

Cheapest I’ve found was on eBay, other places charge you like £5 for delivery XD

You have a later twin wall rim, what pads are you using?

Swissstop BXP

Cheers!

That you can change the mount on the light itself is a testament to how good the cateye volt range was

I think there a small play betwenn the mount and bracket and this is ttthe reason why it has been worn out after a year of constant bouncing around the UK roads.

New job with regional travel requirements and a more generous cycle scheme means I am considering a Brompton having stalked this thread for some time. Aware these are thin on the ground at the moment but wanted to try and make a start on it, I think the scheme is anyway paused by my employer until travel restrictions eased further. The scheme is run by

I had planned to use sjs due mainly to the excellent freely given advice on this thread, but though thorn are listed sjs don't seem to be?

SJS are Thorn :)

What the ETA for a new Brompton nowadays?

Depends on spec, I have some bikes here and drops of various models over the next few months.

Quantity is lower, but I am aiming to pre sell to people making contact rather than just chaos on the website

What's in stock then? I still have that voucher to use...
Shall I give the shop a call?

swing us an email, can discuss your needs!

Fun?

Hey guys, looking to join in on some Brompton fun. Ideally picking up a sl3/ sl6 second hand. Or if anyone can help with a new one that would be great too. Can anyone help?

can hook you up with a new one if that takes your fancy, pop me an email

Hey thanks for the offer, I was able to find one brand new in a store one Sunday. Thanks for the offer though. Great little bikes though!

My rear black mudguard has snapped in half - no idea why or how.

Before I order a new one are there metal ones worth looking at? Ones that last a bit longer than the standard.

Rare to see rear ones snap tbh! I’d just go with the same again
