Perfect match for the Brompton chainset

ConsNone

ProsEasy to fit

I replaced an old style chainset on a Brompton with the newer style and this matching BB was easy to fit and a perfect match for the new cranks.

Essential for upgrading older Brompton to new cranks.

ConsHard work, requires specialist tools

ProsEnables newer Brompton cranks

Upgraded an older Brompton to this, which required a good few specialist tools (different tools to remove the old BB than to install the new BB), and a fair bit of effort. However, whilst a shop fitting would have cost the same as the tools, I get to keep the tools and have learned more about the bike, so definitely worth it!
Was surprised the caps are plastic.

ConsPlastic cups.

ProsFits spider crank

I hope this version lasts longer than the Strong Light one. It only lasted 500 miles. The left hand screw cup(non chain ring side) seemed to be tight to fit the frame. Could not achieve a flush fit. Was the strong light version one of the recent recalls?

Consplastic screws

Pity that there are plastic screws, I was careful, but it seems not enough because I broke one. So be very careful with them.

Watch Out You'Ll Probably Need A 20-Pin Bb Tool

Consonly problem is information on website

Buyers should be aware that the unit shipped is not the one shown on the photo. The photo shows a Bottom Bracket compatible with a 6-notch bottom-bracket tool (e.g. Parktool BBT-4). Instead I was shipped one with a 20-pin arrangement (compatible with e.g. Parktool BB-32): this appears to be Brompton's latest standard unit. You may need two different Bottom Bracket tools to change this part depending on what type you have already. SJS, please update the info here.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Brompton had not informed us of the stock change so we were not aware. We have now updated the image and description to match this new design. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best Regards.

Enquiry About Brompton Bottom Bracket For Spider Crankset

By Jose Luis

24 Jan 2017

Hello,

I have a doubt regarding the bottom bracket used with the "new" spider crankset. According to your website, the one to use is your part #31207, which is compatible with a 20-pin-arrangement bottom bracket tool (such as Parktool BB-32). However, I´ve noticed Brompton stock bikes keep coming with a 6-notch-type bottom bracket even though they have the spider crankset. Do you have any idea why or what bottom bracket is that?

Thanks a lot in advance.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

For the last few years this has been the bottom bracket Brompton has offered as a replacement for the spider type chainsets. They are now swapping back to a 6-notch type but we have still got a number of this splined version in stock. Other than the fitting type the bottom brackets are identical.

Thanks.

Hi,

No, this one is specifically for the spider cranksets, you need the other Brompton bottom bracket SJSC part number: 31610.

Thanks.
