Folding pedal
Hello all
I am new to folding bikes. I will be getting a B75/A Brompton soon.
I wish to upgrade the pedals. I have no idea what folding ones to get? Is it mor convenient to have both sides fold?

Only left side must fold.
The only model that folds very narrow/flat is the Bompton folding pedal.
All other types are wider folded than the Brompton folding pedal.
Another option is to use a removable left pedal with either Wellgo QRD system or with the MKS EZY system.

Does the B75/A use the same cranks as upmarket Brompton models? Because the Brompton folding pedal design doesn't work with some modern cranks.

I have a folding Brompton pedal on the right hand side too and the ability to fold it helps in some packing situations.

As long as you use a 9/16 right hang fitting on the right side and a 9/16 left hand on the left you will be fine.
when it comes to crank, it needs to be std square taper and the ring you want…
