  • You running internal or external gears? That could be a massive saving.

    Remember the weight saving on a Brompton doesn't match the cost at all, but the brompifcation seatpost is a big win in my books.

    Love mine, only issue is in the closed position it when folded away the top of the seatpost is from what i gather is a little tappered. This will make the bike swing and not hold in its fixed position when trying to carry it via the saddle.

    Conti Urban are a big win too for the balance of weight, rolling resistant and puncture protection.

    Good luck with your upgrades.

  • You've sold me on the seatpost and tyre upgrades!

    I have the standard gearing for the 6 speed models but pretty happy with it to be honest though I only really use 3-4 gears overall.

    Does the seatpost itself change the ride feel? I've never ridden on a titanium seatpost before.

  • For comfort, I don't really notice the difference. Change your tyre pressure if you want comfort.

    But if you have a lighter saddle and seatpost combo this definitely makes a difference when you kick out of the saddle and you'll notice the weight difference. Granted with a 6 speed maybe less so.
