Brompton Folding Detail

Brompton folding detail, joints, frame clamps etc

As you probably have noticed by now, the Brompton is a folding bike. This means it has specific parts which help with the folding mechanism, such as frame clamps, handlebar catch and front axle hook

Some of these are tough plastic - but that means they can become brittle with age / exposure to light - so eventually they will need replacing

The suspension block is a softer rubber like material - and over time this can wear / split - there are also two versions, standard and firm (firm is recommended for people over 75kg or wanting a more sporty ride)

We also have (for those older Brompton bikes out there) the retrofittable rear frame clip - this stops the bike from automatically folding every time you pick it up (e.g. to carry up some station steps)
