How to Rebuild a 20year Old Brompton 

A Chain pusher cable and set up video would be GREAT ! I'm useless at it

Another great video ❤

Nice kettlebell

I am surprised you did not notice that the stem size is longer for flat bars. Brompton handlebars are designed to make the basic modular frame suitable for short to tall people and the handlebar / stem set up is there to offer as well as seat post a Brompton to cater for the size range of adults.

I've heard that the rear triangle can be hard to take off and fit new bushings and bolts. What was your experience with it, especially a near 20 year old Brompton? Nice work on the video.

You put standard brake levers on, which impede the fold. I notice you also have the bars rotated forwards. Do you actually fold your handlebars?? Did you fit a quick release to the handlebar clamp in order to adjust the bars after unfolding? I bought a new 3 speed Brompton in 1997 and have just fitted an 8 speed hub. I intend to make some other upgrades and seeing you remove and refit the frame pivot, I am tempted to repaint the frame (although the paint is tough as nails and doesn’t need it). I also have a 6 speed Brompton and, like you, am not looking forward to a rear wheel puncture!

Did you change the main frame hinge pins ? Or are they still the original 20 year old pins ? I don’t mean the rear triangle pins but the main frame and stem hinge pins. There are 3( 6mm, 6.1 and 6.35 mm).

Cool, now please do mine 🙂👍

It sems that at least some triangles now have bolt for the fitting, instead of the absurd - and very English way of making things "Special" (my first and only English car, an absolutely, horrible "produced" new 1966 Mini, had the battery PLUS to its frame! But I'm sure they had a (bad) reason for this, as for driving in the wrong direction on the roads, when people in the vicinity all drove wright (Sorry Sweden and latest, now only Ireland! But they are excused, though still a member of the EU!)). During my first visit to The UK, I nearly tumbled, because the train took off in the wrong direction, to what I expected! But I did see that at least British Rail now use sane Kilometer for distances 😄. Finn. Denmark

I have seen the proper method for changing the bolts on the back-triangle here, as a film from a - bike shop, and I have a "titanium middle part" ready, for an eventual coming change (Extra thin in the middle, for less weight)! I have looked for a titanium or - carbon stem post for my now, just below 9 kilo and highly modified, 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton, with mudguards! But still it is so expensive to buy an old timer, version stem from China, that I hardly find it worth the money to obtain that extra and very small weight loss? As it also needs to be "Flame Painted", as on my original post. They may not be able to hit the exact color? I still think 9 kilo is a fine weight to have reached! As an old man of 75, I have had ordinary racing bikes weighing more than that (Also a 6,8 kilo bike)😄!! Finn. Denmark

Can Bromptons be driven in left hand drive countries?? Can it be converted?

Chain pusher cable and set up ! 🤬🤬🤬
