Firm Brompton suspension 'bung'

[CharlieB]

My Brompton was supplied last August with normal suspension as opposed to the firm suspension ordered as at the time the firm variety of the little rubber bung was unavailable. This appears to be still the case.

Is there a spare one in reasonable nick out there, please?

Many thanks!
That's an impressive retailer - it's a complete build-yourself-a-brompton fest!

brilliant service and willing to advise on every nook and cranny of a brompton.

Can totally recommend SJS. They accidentally sent me the wrong length brake cable (needed a tandem one - got a regular). One phone call and the correct one was sent, special delivery and totally FOC. Arrived the next morning.

And I went on a tour around the factory a few years ago - fantastic! They had just bought up the remaining stock of Brookes saddles at the time...£115 for a Honey coloured titanium railed cheek spacer!

If you place a "jubilee clip" around your present "bung" it will firm it up at far less expense and inconvenience.

As a bonus the tightening / loosening allows you to adjust the "boinginess" (technical term) of the suspension to your personal taste
