KMC X8 Chain (8sp), Nickle Plated/Gray BULK SINGLE

The right-length chain for any 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-speed Brompton (A Line and C Line, old or new), without paying for a Brompton box. This is the same 3/32-inch, 8-speed-width chain the hub-gear Bromptons take; we buy it from KMC in bulk and cut each one to your bike's exact link count before it ships. How it works Count two numbers on your bike: the teeth on your chainring (usually stamped on it — 44T, 50T or 54T) and the teeth on your largest rear sprocket. Pick the matching length above. Not sure? The Brompton chain guide has the full table and a quick-answer picker, or email a photo of your chainring and rear sprocket to info@clevercycles.com and we'll tell you. We cut it to that length in our workshop and ship it ready to fit. It comes with a KMC MissingLink, so it goes on without a chain tool.

Use the row for the ring you have now, not the one the bike came with. What to expect in the box This is bulk chain. It arrives in a plain bag — no retail packaging, no printed instructions. It's the same chain KMC sells at retail; you're just not paying for the packaging. Fit new sprockets at the same time Chain and sprockets wear into each other, and a new chain on a worn sprocket might skip under load. Brompton recommends replacing the rear sprocket (or the 2- and 6-speed pair) with the chain. The chainring lasts several chains and only needs replacing if its teeth are visibly hooked. Have an older 1/8-inch chain? Early 1- and 3-speed Bromptons shipped with a wider chain, but this 3/32-inch chain fits every A Line and C Line. If you'd rather stay with 1/8″, let us know. Riding a P Line, T Line or a 2026-on 4/12-speed C Line? Those take the narrower SL Advance chain. A G Line takes a 9-speed chain — see the KMC X9 bulk chain, cut to length the same way. In Portland? Bring the bike in and we'll measure, fit the chain and sprockets while you wait, and check the rest of the drivetrain.
