This is what powers you bike (along with your legs)
Over time it will wear - to extend the life of the drive chain - our number one recommendation is to keep it clean and not over lubricated

It sits in the bottom of the bike frame and contains ball bearings - the crankset attaches to the bottom bracket - and it means that when you pedal the pedals drive the chain to push the rear wheel around
The Brompton G Line uses a different length spindle on the bottom bracket when compared to the standard / traditional 16 inch wheel size Bompton folding bike
The extra length means that the chain will clear the wider tyres on the rear of the bike
The Brompton G Line (the 20 inch wheel version of the Brompton folding bike introduced in 2024) comes by default with a 54T front chainring

We currently only stock the one length of chain - but if you order and add a note with your chainring size we can cut the length to chain as requested before shipping
The Brompton G Line actually uses the same chain set and chain rings as the traditional 16 inch wheel Brompton folding bike - this chain ring is available in 3 sizes:
Changing the chain ring to a smaller (or larger on - though this seems to be rarely done is a simple job - but will need a change to the chain length to cope with the new ring size)
We made the above video to show how easy it is to change the chainring size - it was filmed on a Brompton 16 inch wheel bike - but the process of changing the chainring is exactly the same on a G Line
When the Brompton G Line was launched in 2024 it came with new (not used on any previous Brompton) flat mountain bike style platform pedals. Though the came with a twist - the left hand pedal is removable (to reduce the folded size) and can be clipped into the back of the front fork for storage
The G Line uses the same crankset as a standard 16 inch Brompton C Line - so any pedals that will fit that (which is most bicycle pedals these days) will fit the G Line - so you have a choice of different types available
So if you don't want the stock pedals on your G Line - you can easily change to your favourite style
