brompton

Here's some pictures of my Brompton. You can see my security system (see sticker on frame) noodle on front brake, QR on handle post, home made $5 seat bag, two front chainrings on a 110 BCD crank with 58/38 and Velo Orange model 6 saddle. Sometimes it is nice to see how someone else has set...

Hi folks, I'm starting up an Oxford Brompton Owners Group. Intention is to have a social on the third Wednesday of the month and a group ride on the first Saturday. The group rides will fall into a format of meet in cafe, ride around 10 miles or so to a pub for lunch, then back to different...

Wowsers! Half the weight of my S6! Cant imagine how flexi it would be to ride and not sure if I would personally be happy bumping off of curbs etc on this but its impressive none the less: https://www.bikeforums.net/folding-bikes/1163846-full-titanium-brompton-clone-now-done-pics.html

Hey all, Just need some advice on whether to purchase a second hand Brompton or not. 2017 Model with Mudguards, Pannier Rack + Bag - has only been ridden once. Selling at £795 Essentially I'm looking for a folding bike, as I tour the UK for work and wanted something to get me places instead of...

I've been mostly happy with my Cateye 300 on my Brommie, but lately, it's been playing up, in ways that suggests not just battery, however, it's working again, but I'd really like to get a spare light, as I always have a spare rear one in my saddlebag. However, 50 quid for the new 'brompton'...

Had one today with ongoing repercussions. Went to the Mairie this morning, and, for once, took the Brompton. It's an easy walk for me, but I was intending to make some other stops after. As ever, looked for the first available free lamp post and tethered the Brompton to it. Paid my dues and...

Can anyone recommend a saddlebag for a Brompton? I have the Brompton pouch thing, but it never stays closes and I have lost tyre levers and multi-tool from it. I just need enough room for an inner tube, levers and multi-tool.

I'm thinking of fitting a Dynamo wheel to my Brompton. I've looked around and there don't seem to be many available. ( My Google -Fu skills might not be up to scratch ) some sites list them but say " not available " I can't really stretch to the Son hub but see there is a " SP Dynamo hub " which...

I am looking for a Brompton bag for daily commuting that is compatible with S type handlebars and the standard LED front light. I saw C and S bags are marked as not suitable for S handlebars and that got me thinking. I will need to carry, say, a 14" laptop and the equivalent of 2-3 books. Any...

Hi Wondered if you wonderful people had any thoughts I use the trains daily and need something to get there . I had considered a Brompton for portability and it’s a Brompton, however a scooter could get me there with the minimum effort and sweat free!!! Just not convinced it’s no more than a...

I have had my Brompton 9 Streets for about 6 weeks now and have ridden about 400km. I have realised that if it has Brompton written on it. Then its going to be expensive. I have bought one bag and frame and now Im going to have a go at making one myself. . Has anyone one here had a go?

I just had the Brompton serviced but when I took it out for a ride, it's either so well done and it is riding smooth, too smooth. When I go from high to low or vice versa, there is no noticeable difference. No clunk, click, nada. What could be the problem?

My 3-4 year old SL3 has snapped/lost a bolt where the rear triangle pivots onto the frame this point here but it is the drive side (not my actual bike) https://www.dropbox.com/s/u16wb786uhbxcgh/brompton.jpg?dl=0 the actual bike looks like this...

I managed to pump up a tyre without my glasses on and when out on the bike the tyre blew. I'm currently in Spain so I brought it along to my LBS to have what I thought was a tube replacement also to renew the bottom bracket which Brompton posted to me. I received a text from the guy detailing...

The new CEO at Brompton has decided to let Halfords sell and repair Bromptons Would you trust your Brompton to a Halfords monkey wrench? Not me. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2018/10/15/brompton-takes-iconic-folding-bicycle-to-chain-store-halfords-as-bike-shops-cry-foul/

I cannot work out how to roll my Brompton when folded. I have tried leaving handlebars up, using saddle to push (which usually means the handlebars pop out) and replaced the stock wheels with Eazy Wheels, but still cannot roll the damn thing. So what's the secret? It's an M6L if that makes any...

Hi all, I had been carrying a multi tool and a couple of Allen keys/tyre levers in an under saddle bag, but saw an unused Brompton specific toolkit available on a well known auction site, so as it was cheap I took the plunge and I have to say I am glad I did! Its extremely well made, lighter...

I'm looking to upgrade the rollers. After googling a while I see in-line roller skate wheels are one option, but I'm not quite clear what I need: in-line wheels, bearings, and M6/M5 bolts depending if attaching to the frame or rack. Do I need anything else...washers, axles...or is that it...

This is the light that came with the bike back in 2012. I see there is a newer model now (SS-L122W). Apparently the newer light has three settings, high beam, low beam, and flash, whereas the older model just had on, and flash. Mine is OK, but not that bright and not much spread. More like a...

Hi all, has anybody taken apart or have a diagram of the new style gear changer? This type: Mine is not returning when engaging down into '1', i'm sure its something simple like a spring not seated correctly, but Id rather know what was in there before I take it apart.... thanks

I am curious is the ti Brompton really worth the premium over a standard model, it’s nealy £500-£600 more?

Mrs CB continues to amaze, and seems to have taken ownership of my M3L for commuting duties. Already fitted with an S-Bag, it seems there is not quite enough space for PE kit as well, so she resorted to a rucksack this week. I figured I'd fit a rear rack, but am somewhat loathe to for out £70...

In 15 years of living in Denmark. I have seen one Brompton. I have read so much about them and have considered buying one for such a long time. At the weekend I was in Cambridge, which appears to be the capital of Brompton bikes. I called into Rutland Cycling and had a look at their selection...

Preferably black. Brompton no longer sell them as supply-only, which is moronic. It's not exactly hard to fit a quill stem! Or swap for my M-type stem and bars.

This is a Brompton S Bag Mk 1 with strap, frame but no rain cover. I bought the bag used without the frame which I bought new. This is the Mk 1 without the removable flap and is about 20 litres. Capacity. It has plenty of pockets including 2 on the rear which are great for bottles. This bag is...

Only had it a couple of days but it really doesn't like to be on bumpy surfaces. Couple of roads I go down that are not the best and its like riding a boneshaker. Worse though is gravel paths. Tried cycling home from Slough station (to windsor) along the jubilee river path. Didn't realise it...

So, in case you didn’t know, I now have an M6L, with a Shimano dynamo lights, B&M Lumotec Lyt on the front, and a Spanninga Solo at the rear. I was somewhat perturbed by the location of the rear light, and unaware of the quality of light at the front, so bought 2 Lezyne Femto lights, just as a...

I'm sure I've read before that this is pretty expensive to do - and it's not an easy DIY job. Backtrack - a while ago I diagnosed a creak on my bike to a loose rear end (oo-er). As it happens, I managed to tighten the allen bolts and all's been fine for a year and a bit. But now it's started to...
