  • Nice builds! I've seen that video before which reminds me: I was looking at changing the Brompton crankset and BB earlier, after much usage, lack of trueness and play. While doing a clearout I noticed all the chainrings and crank arms I've sheered. Have decided I'm gonna go for something else - no JIS/Square taper, might even go Shimano HollowTech and run a 105 with a single ring.

    @JurekB looks like you've done something similar with the Alfine cranks.

    Another general Q, how daunting is changing the headset for a home mechanic with no press tool?

  • Got a Dura-Ace FC-7800 with a 53t chainring if you're keen? Came off a Brompton so has had the rear tabs ground a bit to clear the frame, etc.

  • Cheers. I have a blacked out black edition minus a couple of 'mods', so as much as I like Dura Ace, I don't think the 7800 silver will suit it. Rear tabs to clear the frame? I would've thought that you could run some spacers if the BB cups don't get in the way.
