Howdy.....your comments on Brompton brake upgrades?
Hi all.....newly minted member as of minutes ago, and thrilled to discover others....many others who are also into the folding experience. I have a couple Brommie's and a GoBike.
I have followed the threads from the UK which for the most part are several years old and not that useful. My desire is to upgrade the brakes to take advantage of the technology out there. I have the Mk II brakes, i.e. dual pivot, mounted on both bikes now, and I know Brompton has developed a triple pivot caliper to get more power. But I'm curious if anyone on this thread has installed a V brake or rim hydraulic brakes on their Brompton. I have read threads dating to 2000 where Magura brakes have been installed with success as well as Shimano VR brakes, but all from the UK. These articles also indicated that CM Wasson in CA use to offer a non-Brompton upgrade.
Excited to hear your comments!
