One of the questions we get frequently asked is ... how can I further reduce the gearing on my Brompton
The Brompton A Line B75 comes with a 44T chainring (and Brompton don't make a smaller one)
The Brompton C Line Explore (6 speed) comes as standard with a 50T chainring and an Urban (2 speed) comes as standard with 54T
This change can only be made to the "spider" crankset - not the older fixed crankset
To see the effects of changing Brompton gearing - check out the Brompton Gear Calculator
