At my first, included in the price ("free"!), service I asked my dealer to replace the original bottom bracket with a "Ceramic Ball", Titanium bottom bracket on my Lightweight. They are to be found in different sizes, but luckily I had bought the proper size for my bike.
Thanks for your recommendation. I will bear this in mind. In fact I found the braking system of original Brompton is quite reliable and yet to find any “Economical” replacement. Will keep searching.
Thank you for your encouragement. I hope I can share my unprofessional experience on making this wonderful bike better and better with all Brompton lovers around the world:)
This is not an upgrade. Should have changed to lightweight ceramic BB. Original BB weights 250 - 300g. Ceramic BB by Token, Ridea, H&H weight only 160g.
Slow and steady video with descriptive text ….. bravo 👍
Many thanks for your good word. Thank you.

@@kkllbaba yes I’m in the process of changing to external gears and my mechanic says the same - original Brompton brakes are the best
Super thorough video!

How do the old ISO designed cranks work with the new JIS BB? No issues? I thought I would have to buy a new crankset.
So far no issue. Works fine.
Nice and thanks
Thank you for your support.
An ordinary 1/2" rachet set wit a handle could also have been used for this.
