Probably better to get a bigger chainring that adding a 5th cog.

The 4 speed Bromptons already come with an 11t high gear, which is the smallest the hub will take, so a basic 5 speed mod can only either make the lowest gear lower or maybe reduce the gaps.
If you want higher gears you need a bigger chainring.

What’s the benefit of doing the 5 speed mod on the 4speed? Do you gain an extra higher gear or lower gear?
Bike hasn’t left my side since I got it. Really enjoying it.
Highlights from first week of Brompton ownership have been. Rushing to collect records (pictured). Being so drunk I couldn’t fold the thing. It was like playing an accordion. Finally, being told off for not folding in a supermarket. It’s been wild.
