What I found fiddly to the point of unlivable with my NWT (derailer model) when folding was it was a project to keep the chain on, and the stem/mast just popped off and you rested it on the bike. Brompton folds efficiently and startlingly small into one easy-carry package.
I wouldn't claim - and don't know the numbers - that a 6-speed Brommie has the full gear range of a BF triple, but it's a pretty wide range. My Brom has a smaller than standard chainring to climb my hill and the top gear is still taller than I usually ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
