Brompton owners

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.

or you could always go up to 54t for 35 - 43 - 55 - 68 - 87 - 107", then your cruising gear is a slightly lighter but basically very similar 68"? decisions...

Fitting an Alfine 8 is another option…

Missed that, thanks. Running that through the gear calculator (if I was to keep the stock chainring) it seems to give me similar awkwardness, just in a different place, unless I am mistaken. Works really well for a straightforward 2sp to 3sp conversion, though.

I’m leaning towards a simple change of chainring or sprockets to minimise the outlay.

That might be even better - gives me 3rd and 4th as 56” and 69” with Conti Contact Urbans which I think would do nicely, and would keep me in the middle ratio of the IGH most most of the time.

Snug!

I had this issue on my commute, I swapped out the 16T for a 17T. Same chain length, shifts fine.

Thanks Sam. I had already decided to go for the 54T option as I think this might work best for me.

Does anyone have the Brompton Quadlock mount? Any reason why you need the specific Brompton one? I have a phone case already

I have the quadlock mount - fits neatly on M/H bars in the center

Stolen today between 9–930AM from Peckham Rye Park. I'll be scouring online listings, but please let me know if you see it anywhere! My ride had Kojak tyres, Cateye front/rear, toolkit in the frame, and a distinctive white paint scuff on the main tube. RIP

I do - I think it's mostly important for the M/P bars where you lack space. I has S bars, but got it so I didn't lose the space for bell/light/old shifter. I didn't have a spare quadlock mount so needed to get one anyway...

Apologise for the spam:

I have two bromptons I’m selling and 3 speed raw with Brompton grips and cambium saddle and a 6 speed black edition with approx 50miles on it (built by @sbbohr I think). What is a fair price for these nowadays? (All the sold listings have their prices removed)

Upload a photo so I remember exactly??
