Get Tyrell or Birdy R20 but the most important is how strong your legs... reason for these 2 foldies that main frame no hinges so no flexing if your legs super strong. So if aim going faster screw all those hinged body foldies including Brompton. AM bikes also good but non folding Edited December 1, 2020 by Knighthunter Reason added Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 bromptons and the first one I bought in 2015, the pin on the main frame will wear off then time to replace. I am not strong rider but I am heavy riders. So gravity loves me. Btw I also still own my Tyrell FX and Tern LinkD8 that only frame is original the other parts upgraded 😂 I didn’t get Birdie since I decided to get another Brompton S6L black edition (kena con) and my old Brompton is M6R Edited December 2, 2020 by Knighthunter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So gravity loves me So it is a rider problem. I have a 2013 bike. I changed to rear elastomer to stiff spring. So far, I have no problem with the pin on main frame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthunter 4th Gear December 2, 2020 Share December 2, 2020 No the harder the suspension the faster the pin worn out. one Brompton is on H&H suspension and the other one is using Bikefun suspension. Bikefun suspension is soft. If wants to improve cadence harder suspension is required. If not bicycle will go to disco/bouncing mode then power transfer is wasted. So sometime I tune these spring suspension by tightening the spindle bolts to make it harder but consequence is pin on the frame suffer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
