I have been checking rear tensioners for bromptons and .... quite nice but quite expensive https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/37483374...eV6NWsdYK46vgRoMXucszeZcwfn-ry3hoC2MIQAvD_BwE

Chris, how many speeds on the Brompton, do you know?

I think 2x3 is the most unless you buy a Kinetic rear end for an Alfine. Making an overpriced (imo) bike even more expensive.

I reckon its a singlespeed. I don't see any clickbox or little pull chain for IGH.

I agree on them being overpriced. I do adore that one I shared primarily because of the paintjob, but when I consider the selection of decent made folders and minivelos I see in China I'd have a hard time justifying the cost of a Brompton.

They do fold small, proprietary not great quality parts. Short sighted narrow rear end. I think you can't buy just rims now, Brompton will only supply a complete wheel. My mate has two and he told me this, I haven't checked.
