For my next vacation, I may switch my transportation mode from gravel bike-packing to train & #Brompton.

I did a test ride of the #PLine 2026 and the #TLine (I shouldn’t do it :-). Both was 4 speed, what isn't ideal for #brussels hills. I’m considering the 12 speed.

Riding the T Line is very smooth, but extremely expensive. The P Line may be a good compromise.

@lucas3d there is a gearing upgrade for Bromptons which makes them more suitable for hills. Lowers your top speed though. My local Brompton dealer installs it by default in every bike (hilly area…), I‘m quite happy with my 6 speed bike that way!

@mhofmann Thanks for your advice!

How many teeth are there on the chainring of your Brompton?

@lucas3d I just counted 44 and that luckily matches what Brompton sells!
