Brompton bike mech in central london, looking for ones recomended or to avoid. This is to replace a 3-spd hub with 5 and bottom bracket

5 speed hubs are REALLY temperamental.

BB job is simple.

Brixton Cycles, Compton Cycles, BikeFix, in no particular order.

FWIW, it's much easier and more economical to go 6 speed if your existing 3 speed is fine.

Thanks for that tip on the 5 speed , I’d assumed being a hub it would be more robust than throwing a derailleur on. Is the Alfine 8 reliable?
