My Brompton has rather a lot of play in it's bottom bracket. Can it only be replaced with like for like ie a FAG 1.37" x 24 BB? I wish to keep the standard chainset which is still fine. What specific spanner do I need to remove and replace the FAG BB as I have lots of bike specific tools, just not a tool specific to a Brompton BB? A link to one would be very helpful.
Also the bottom hinge has quite a bit of play in it. I figure the bushes need replacing. I have been using it to commute to work round trip 35-40 miles the last couple of months in all weather. Does the bike have to go back to Brompton for them to replace the bushes / service the hinge or can any LBS that sells Bromptons change the bushes? Or can I do it myself?
Help gratefully accepted.
