Q: Sorted after just a quick question, would this chain fit a Brompton folding bike with a 3 speed sturmey archer and a 54 tooth chain wheel, many thanks Ed
A: Whilst you’ve got a 3 Speed Hub (You’ve only got one Cog/Gear/Sprocket), so you’re looking for a Single Speed chain I think, although as newer Bromptons have evolved in their own strange and unique way so have the specs, and people have used either set-up since a long long time ago… I don’t know, but I do you see;
1/8″ (0.125″, 3.18 mm) chain is used on most single-speed bicycles, and bicycles with internal gearing. Whilst 3/32″ (0.094″, 2.30 mm) chain is used on derailleur equipped bicycles that have more than 3 cogs at the rear.
Pin length should be about 8.6 mm (width) for your average single-speed chain if you measure it with a vernier caliper and decreases as number of cogged gear speeds increase from x1-12.
This is straight from the Brompton Website… ;
Chains for each of the different gearing options are available. The 3/32” width chains …
When fitting a new chain the sprockets must be replaced at the same time. (What size do you have? Or are purchasing…?)
Some earlier Bromptons will have been built with 1/8” chains and sprockets. The combinations of chain wheel and sprocket required are the same as in the table above, but the 1/8” chain must, of course, be used in combination with 1/8” sprockets only. The tool-free connecting link cannot be used with a 1/8” width chain. (gives you a visual clue maybe)
I hope this is somewhat helpful, You’ll actually have to measure something or refer yourself to the local bike shop if you cannot.
You could always send me pictures, I can probably tell you from those, but from what you’ve given me you might as well tell me what wheel size it’s got… 😉
In reverse order of importance!;
– How old is your bike, are you the original purchaser?
– Do you have a traditional Split Link or Tool-free connecting link in your chain?
– Can you read any branding or spec on either Cog / Chain / Chainset?
