Information needed regarding Brompton gear changing.

[TheDoctor]

That's exactly what I mean - I can't pedal fast enough to top 40 mph, so I freewheel. Which feels bloody fast on a Brompton! And I have ridden up mountains on it. Once bottom gear is too high, I'm down to walking speed anyway.

Thanks for all of the suggestion's about gearing. Remembering cycles from the 1970's helped me to choose a Brompton with the three speed with the 12% reduction. If that means that I come to a hill that I find too much... I just get off and push....pushing up hill is no sin!

Good choice.

You'll love it.
