  • according to this Brompton Gear Calculator , the stock 6 speed ratios are 33 - 40 - 51 - 63 - 81 - 99". For example, if you changed for the stock option 44t chainring, it would give you 29 - 35 - 45 - 56 - 71 - 87", so then your cruising gear is a nice-for-round-town 71", you gain a lower granny gear, but you lose your top gear.

  • Thanks ibob. Trying a few options in that calculator, changing to a 44T does seem like the simplest option, reducing the number of hub gear changes I make. I would probably miss 99 slightly more than 33, but overall it would probably suit me better for relatively little outlay. Cheers.
