Brompton owners

Seen quite a few hence I'll not entertain request to tighten the bolt (depending on how much thread is already showing) and ask that they book in for a sleeve replacement.

If its worn I simply explain the situation etc, generally I see them just before luck runs out or just after!

Yeah if they'll listen, the risk is that they don't and ask for a spanner so they can do it themselves...

We don’t lend any tools!

Why don't Brompton go hub gear only?
Get shot of the unreliable derailleur!

Lighter option, very easy to increase gear range when it works.

Spent another hour in the shed last night, got mine to work shit hot now with a few modifications and a different shifter

What do people use to lubricate the derailer and the jockey wheels - GT85 or similar, or something heavier?

I don't bother, just keep the derailleur & tensioner clean.

How is the tyre and mudguards clearance on that?

GT85 works fine if you apply it regularly and clean off the excess. Any build-up of crap on the derailleur will affect its performance.

What performance?

Having both options lets them offer 2-speed, 3-speed and 6-speed, getting them a much wider potential market.

Lot of LFGSS Brompton owners on 2-speed Bromptons.

Never had a problem with my 2 speed to be honest

Electric Brompton to sell; M6R with blue hinge clamps and suspension cap, Kuosac bars, Ergon grips, extended post, custom rear rack and city bag!

@amey

Also, that was short lived, you've probably been spending too much time with @amey

Ha. Internet time only!

My wife no longer has a requirement for it so it seems a poor choice to let it sit around when the cash would be helpful to finish her surly and for baby2!

my brompton still lives .. somewhat; after the frame gets replaced with a b75 blue one

Electric tho

Shall I fit a pendix motor too?

Disc brake Brompton is the future.

M1E and a M6R-X for sale soon.

what colour is the pedal?

Silver!

Quick question before I order the Joseph Kuosac Handlebar - Mid Rise - will I need longer cables ( S1L model ) ?

Yes, this converts it directly to an M type height, wider and more reach.

You will need M type cables.

You will need to trim the bars a little unless you have a rack / bigger easy wheels.

Ok - thanks.
