Brompton owners

Best upgrade for the 2 speed or any Brompton is the wheelset, BB and seatpost especially this one where you lose that silly pencil clip design. Pedals are person choice but the stock ones are so heavy it does saves a lot of weight.

SEVENTY FIVE QUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Brompton bag on Facebook marketplace in Horsham if anyone is interested

I have one of these and have flown with it a few times. They're not amazing but they do the job for a lot cheaper than other options.

Some minor recalls on the P-line for anyone who owns one atm.

This one or a more recent recall?

This one.

Buying a second hand Brompton. What year did they start to use the more modern components? Can a 2 or 3 speed be had for £750 or less?

2017 onwards

Since then no real changes except p/t line

Yes, I have paid £500 for superlight 6 speeds in recent years… just have to hunt

+sbbohr I'm thinking of letting go of my M6R-X, 6 Speed with rack, titanium forks and rear triangle. IIRC it's a 2015.

Fair price for it?

£1250-1500 probably!

Banging! Cheers for the estimate.

Is there a Record headset that will fit in a Brompton?

I'm feeling an upgrade coming on.

I'm certain @object had one on his, or maybe that was his BMX.

not sure but a CK will

CK are so basic tho'.

I've actually got a black soto voce 1" CK headset in my spares box. Can't find my negative shim anywhere, too bad.

He has a XTR.

1.1/8 on Brompton unless mk1

Hence negative shim ;)

How’s the fork going to fit?

IIRC I may have lent it to @tynan, in which case so long, negative shim! 🧸

Has he still got his TCR? I hope to see him very soon.

CK are so basic tho'.

Generational divide

That sounds like the worst bikepacking holiday ever.

FYI I currently own more CK than Campag headsets. Take from that what you will. 🍂🤒
