New Brompton has arrived which is very exciting. Now to start
messing around withupgrading it. Its a 6 speed with a 50t chainring. I live in a hilly area, will take the bike touring so was planning to reduce the front chainring. I have some black 165mm spa cranks with a 44 or 40t chainring I am planning to test fit to see how they affect chain line and fold. I was initially going to go 44 but the 40/gives me a nice 65" ish gear . I don't mind being fairly spinny and mostly ride low geared single speeds.Has anyone else changed gear ratios, got any thoughts on this?
