Fixings, hubs and replacement parts for your Brompton hub gears
Brompton 16 inch wheel folding bikes with:
gearing systems - use a rear wheel with a 3-speed Sturmey Archer or SRAM (Sachs) rear wheel
Which cable you need will depend upon the handlebar type and the shifter type
If you are unsure - we made a guide on how to identify your Brompton handlebar type
Up until 2004 Brompton used a short wheelbase frame - and this was only available with M type / Mid rise bars - we made a guide on identifying Brompton long vs short wheelbase models
There are effectively two generations of shifters used on Brompton folding bikes
Three speed, five speed and six speed Brompton bikes use a hub gear rear wheel. Here we list all of the controls needed for the hub gears, from triggers / shifters, to gear cables and indicator chains.
Two and six speed Brompton bikes use a proprietary Brompton derailleur system.
Here you can find all the controls, for example shifters / triggers, gear cables, derailleur mechanism for your bike.
