    Brompton Black Bits

    I quite like the look of the Black edition Brommies and wondered about getting some of the bits to make mine look a bit more like one. I've seen a black front mudguard for sale, but not the rear, or the seatpost. Or the cranks for that matter. Also, anyone with a black edition able to confirm...

    Brompton Front wheels

    After my rear rim wore out rather spectacularly a little while ago, I've been keeping a close eye on the front for any signs of wear. Before it goes completely and I have to panic buy the official Brompton version, are people using anything else? Is there anything specific to the Brompton that...

    Replacing a spoke on a Brompton

    Changing a puncture I noticed that it was caused by a spoke which is high in the inside of the rim. The nipple is rounded off. Is spoke replacement on a Brompton as easy as it looks?

    Brompton Front Wheel

    I am in need of a Brompton front wheel. Would consider a 3-speed rear as well if a good price but first will look at having the existing one rebuilt with a new rim. Would pay by PayPal

    Chainring bolts (Brompton)

    Quick question: Should there be four or five chainring bolts on the post 2013 spider? I've still got a bit of creaking on my bike, and one of the things I checked was to make sure the bolts on the chainring were all done up. In doing so, I notice that there's not one behind the crank arm...

    Brompton Service on Monday

    I'm leaving my Brompton H6L in on Monday for a service. I was just about to ride it up to the LBS (which is a Brompton agent) last Monday to book it in and got a puncture, so I'll get them to sort that too. It's got something rubbing on it, so that needs a look and just a basic service. It's...

    Best Brompton upgrades?

    Hi - as some of you know I have a relatively new Brompton S6L which, with some new Ergon GP2's, I am very happy with. Only a bag and maybe some new bars to go and I think that will be it for the time being... ...However, it did get me thinking about what kind of upgrades you all have done to...

    Brompton bar fettling options?

    Hi, As you may know I have a Brompton S-type and I am going to change the grips to Ergo GP2's based on the recommendations of some of you here. I'm thinking of changing the bars at the same time to give a slight rise (no pun intended) from the flat S-bar as I think this may help the pain in...

    Brompton Rear Wheel question

    The rear wheel on my 2008 6 speed is looking a little sad. I found a couple of broken spokes last week and on removing the wheel there are a few looking like they have stress fractures and may ping at any moment. I've ordered up some spokes to get it going but the hubs a bit scratchy too and i'm...

    Brompton - 3 speed or 6 speed?

    Hi all. Looking to purchase a Brompton. I've had a Tern P9 for a couple of years now and although I really like how it rides, the build quality is pretty poor and it probably doesn't have much life left in it. The only real alternative where I would have some confidence in it lasting well is...

    Brompton Shimano front dynamo kit

    I've decided to go for it before autumn kicks in properly. Can't afford the SON but hey hum. I've read a couple of negative reviews about the front light not being overly robust in cold weather, last one just now on Evans site, that could be an issue as this'll still be my year round and for...

    Bit of Brompton information please?

    The joy of more modern Dahon cycles is the ideas that are added to them! My Vitesse has the luggage block on the head tube and I adjusted it to take the Brompton luggage block. I own one of the the old type 'Touring Pannier' bags but I gather these are no longer made. Can some of you Brompton...

    Concerning noise from my Bromptons wheel

    Hello! I am getting this loud, "scratching" noise from my rear wheel. It happens when cycling in any gear, but also when free-wheeling. I can't get it to happen when the bike is off the ground/being worked on. It only happens when I am riding it. I have loosens the brake (incase it was...

    Bar ends for Brompton?

    Hi all, I've got a Brompton on order (S6L) but before it comes I'd just like to pick your brains as to a) whether any of you use bar ends with an S and b) if so which ones - since they need to be stubby enough to be able to fold up OK. Any advice much appreciated! Cheers, Mel.
