Availability date:
The Brompton Saddle Height Insert was a new addition to 2015 model Brompton folding bikes, but like so much in the Brompton design world is backwards compatible
We think this is one of the best enhancements / retrofit options to the Brompton - along with the rear frame clip.
Note: If you are sharing one Brompton with multiple riders, it's not quite so useful!
The purpose of the saddle height insert is to help you set your preferred saddle height - a bit like having a memory seat function in your car - but low-tech!
When you raise the seatpost as part of the unfold operation, the saddle height insert stops it lifting up too far - to a height pre-set by you
This means that you have to spend less time in pre-ride adjustment when unfolding the bike - one quick lift of the saddle / post and you are ready to go
The insert comes as standard to all new (2015 onwards) Brompton folding bikes
The saddle height insert is supplied free with all new Brompton bicycles - since 2015 - so an alternative to this upgrade would be to invest in a new Brompton bike :-)
Note: we don't fit with a new bike - it takes time for you to get to know your preferred riding height - once you have determined that, then you should fit it
Designed in-house at Brompton and patented, the saddle height insert is designed to make your Brompton riding life just that little bit easier
Fitting instructions for the height insert sleeve can be found on the download section of this page and come with it too
Tools required for installation: 5mm hex / allen key Marker pen / tipex / masking tape Scissors / knife |
There is also an instructional seat height insert installation video on Youtube from Brompton - see below.

Repeat your extension.
Simple and clever way to ensure you achieve same saddle height each time Brompton is unfolded and ride readied.
No more fiddling, extend align saddle and clamp.
Easy to set up and fit by following the clear instructions.
You will appreciate the time saved to do more riding.
Effective but really??
Usual fantastic service from Brilliant Bikes. The Saddle Height insert is easy to install, and works very well, allowing me to get riding much quicker and with less chance of a comedy bike fit. I've adjusted it (cut more off = higher) since, as I was conservative in my setting - you can't stick it back on!
My only gripe is the usual ridiculous Brompton price - is it the cardboard tube? Otherwise, it's a piece of plastic...
Essential Retro Fit
It is often said that the simple things are the best - well, this proves it. If you are fed up of marking the seat post and/or setting the wrong seat height, then this is for you.
Just buy it, fit it and go, and go, and go .....
Only downside is that the price is a bit high for what is essentially a plastic tube, but hey, the benefits far outweigh this minor niggle.
Brilliant addition to the Brompton spares!
Makes unfolding the bike even quicker!
Great idea
I was talking to someone at work that I need to mark the seat post as it is a nuisance getting the height right. then I saw this it makes it so much easier. delivered straight away as always
Excellent little device
This little plastic insert is just brilliant
Excellent bit of kit
This is really easy to fit and takes the guesswork out of setting the saddle height. If you have a Brompton you absolutely must get this, I cannot recommend highly enough

Sitting comfortably
Someone must have been listening to me complain about my regular dismounting and mounting following unfolding my Brompton. If you are a regular cyclist you get used to your seat being at the right height, within about a 5mm tolerance. If you are unfolding your bike several times in a journey it does become annoying when you set off and then realise it's not quite right. Anyway, this 'insert' from Brompton solves this problem so I should be able to look forward to shaving not only my legs but a few seconds off my journey times.
It's cheap, easy to fit and effective
A great solution to the perennial problem of setting the seat height.
Handy addition
I saw this by chance and as it was so cheap decided to purchase one. I was not disappointed as I no longer need to think about how far to pull the seat up. This is such a simple design and you'll wonder how you survived so long without it. Fitted within 15 minutes, with detailed instructions included, it really is useful. The only problem that I could foresee is if your Brompton is used by someone, other than you, with longer legs! Not a problem for me as I am the lone rider.
