Shifting the mindset - Mods do not need to be costly or complicated

Updated: Dec 31, 2024

If you are here reading this, you probably love Brompton modifications as much as we do. It is always lovely to see a beautifully customised bike, both in terms of function and style.


But we would like to debunk a commonly held misperception that mods are costly and complicated, and share a hack or two. If you have a classic 2 Speed sitting around at home and have been thinking of upgrading it, then this post is for you.


Our MiniMODs Thumb Shifter Mod Kit for 2-to-3 Speed Brompton upgrade is a cost efficient and sustainable way of going about it, and easy and fun to install yourself too! This kit is compatible with the stock Brompton 2 Speed Shifter so you do not need to purchase a new one.





What is in the kit?

  • Two white plastic pieces for 3 Speed index

  • 1/2/3 speed display

  • Teflon gear cable - you can reuse the housing on your Brompton

  • Cable and terminal


Installation is a fairly quick and straightforward process. Check out this video!






For a complete modification of your 2 Speed to a 3 Speed Brompton, we also recommend getting ...


  • Our X3 Unibody cog set for a 11/14/17T setup (which is close to a P Line 4 Speed gear range, and

  • Our Extended 2mm bushing axle bolt set w Caps /3 speed upgrade for Brompton jockey wheel, bolts with jockey wheels caps to provide 2mm extra travel for 3 Speed cog shifting ease.
