Anyone got any use for the old-style integrated Brompton crankset?

I upgraded mine to the new spider crankset.

I realise the probability is low, given that you can't get the BB any more but if anyone would like it it's yours.

Located in SW13.

They are also, despite some overactive speculation, less common than fires in ICE vehicles.

Not a fan today. Capitalisation in clues always throws me. I just think of it as cheating, it's not clever word play, it's just deliberately misleading.

3 under today in about 5 seconds after a hard fought par yesterday that took hours ...

I think they are fine. I've never had issues that would lead me to consider a disc brake upgrade. Would quite like the newer all metal levers, but mainly as I think they look better.

Same here; multi word answers always seem easier.

Ridiculously easy today.

That is rather nice, but the bracelet is too narrow.

Not a fan of today's clue.

Provisionally sorted.

Looking for an Ultegra crankset to replace a worn one.

Either a full crankset (175 or 172.5) or just chainrings - 50/34.

Must be in pretty good condition please ...
no point replacing a worn set with another worn set!

Up to you, happy to post if you have no easy alternative. I don't want anything for the pedal, maybe a forum donation in exchange for the postage?

Pretty sure I have a spare* standard Brompton RHS pedal. Where are you? I'm in Barnes SW13.

• I changed the pedals for an aftermarket set and have managed to lose some of the bits from the LHS pedal, so the RH one is just lonely and unwanted...
  

Did not like that one at all.

Especially annoying as I had just completed a whole Everyman crossword, for probably the first time ...

Almost certainly fine.

No, I thought that was a terrible clue; not "fish like" (amphibious would have been better) not "finally" in any meaningful sense; and certainly not "commercial".

I've really struggled with the last few days, just don't seem to click with them.

Capitalisation today was extremely misleading.

Thanks that helps a lot - that there were two sections of outer for the front brake was not at all clear to me.

Well yes I realise that, but the table has a separate row for each bar type: for example I have M bars for which the table says:
"M - 366mm, 485mm outer, 1050mm inner"

So what does the "366mm" refer to and is the inner really 565mm longer than the outer?

Can anyone explain the Brompton brake cable lengths required? Looking at this table - https://www.thebromptonman.com/cable-lengths.html#/ - there appear to be three lengths for the front brake, when I'd expect just two - outer and inner?

And even ignoring the three lengths conundrum the inner seems to be half a metre longer than the outer, that seems rather a lot?

The rear numbers more sense with just the two lengths and 15cm or so difference between thinner and outer.

Different day. Different clues have different par values.

Didn't like that one at all, not clever just contrived.
