Brompton 15% off - should I stock up?

[annedonnelly]

I've got a voucher code for 15% off on the Brompton site. I don't want any of their gifts or clothing & I already have all the bags I need.

I wonder if I should just stock up on consumables while I have the chance - a spare chain, maybe replacement handlebar grips. Any thoughts? I don't want to fill a cupboard with stuff that I'll never need but I'm always looking for a bargain

Buy a Brompton itself and sell it for 10% off list price

HiI would use the 15% on on tyres for your brompton. How did you get your voucher?

can't have too many extra tires, chains, brake pads although it may be you could buy things elsewhere for less than the brompton price minus 15%. I would buy me a couple of rear wheel cogs, though. every couple of chain changes you may need to replace them. I haven't used the brompton cables and cable housing for a long time and find Jagwire works just fine.

Thanks all. I'll have to compare the Brompton prices with those elsewhere.

@chris folder - the voucher is from CTW - they send me e-mails regularly. At least they aren't trying to get me to buy a new bike this time!
