Hubs

An upgrade to the hubs can significantly improve the performance of a Brompton folding bike. The stock Brompton hubs are reliable, but for riders looking for a smoother, more efficient ride, aftermarket hubs may be a good choice. Popular options include Hubsmith and Ridea hubs. When upgrading the hubs it is important to ensure that the new hubs are compatible with the rest of the components and that the installation is done by an experienced mechanic.
