Eerder metaal Quick release derailleur gear kit Extended works with Schwalbe Smart Sam 2.35" tires and other tires with the same or smaller actual width and height. For all non Electric G line Bromptons
Only 7 kits are currently being produced.
The derailleur kit consists of:
- Left and right stainless steel dropouts including steel dropout bolts
- Modified Shimano Saint 10 speed derailleur with B tension system and chain catch cage extender. (shifts crisp with Deore XT 11 speed shifter, chain and cassette, but you can choose 10 speed parts if you prefer)
- BB mount adjustable chain hook, stainless steel
- Rear rack offsetters to move the rear mudguard (and the rack) up to clear the fatter Smart Sam tyre
- Eerder long and low profile Front light mount for Son, stainless steel. This light mount is designed to clear the Son light on the original Brompton luggage frame and the Eerder Full metal Frame on both the plastic Brompton luggage block and the Full metal Bracket for G line. It can also be used for Cateye Ampp lights with the Eerder Ampp light adapter (coming soon). It makes a split mudguard blade possible to clear the fatter Smart Sam tyre. For that you also need the front mudguard offsetters.

- 160mm XLC disc rotor set Centerlock front and rear. These Extended dropouts only work with a 160mm disc rotor, not the standard 140mm rotor. A a result no FM adapter is needed. The original front Flatmount adapter can be put upside down on the fork to fit the 160mm rotor.
- Optional Hope Pro 5 rear hub and Sapim Race spoke set with brass Polyax nipples for the original G-line rim
The kit doesn't include some items:
You just need to order a cassette 11-40 or 11-42, a chain and a trigger shifter at another shop or maybe these are in your parts bin or on a bike you don't use much. I don't include these, so you can opt for 10 speed if you don't want 11 speed.
I make some items mandatory rather than optional, so I don't do partial kits/products with some parts left out. I only add items to a kit or product when I believe it really makes sense for some reason. Parts that are not modified by me and offered by big online stores are regularly the object of discussion (I hear often: can you leave those out cause I already have them in my parts bin...). People like to order parts online at the big price fighters to have more choice, but mostly hoping to save some money. Yet I do need money to be able to develop parts for Brompton conversions or to extend their usability. My parts might look simple but in reality they aren't and take a tremendous amount of time to get everything just right. So I only offer parts that make sense to offer/include and I like to educate people so they understand how things work on my side. I need customers who grant me sales because they appreciate what I'm doing. And I'm lucky to have a lot of customers that do so.
