  • I have a post 2017 Brompton with the M stem and handlebars. I’d like to have a lower handlebar from the stock setup and love the look of the bike with the S stem and flat bars. But I am quite tall and I think the stock S setup is a bit too low for me. My dealer proposed a swap to H stem and flat bars, which would put me a bit higher from the S setup but lower than M and with the flat bar look I like. Am I stupid for even thinking about this and should I just replace my current bars with the JK mid rise bars and deal with the riser bar look?

    Yes and yes.

  • The mid rise bars will drop it 30mm but you can also have the benefit of the extra width which makes the bike massively more stable and fun to ride.

    Cables stay the same, ignore sjs who say you need H type cables, this is bullshit.
