I use it (occasionally, as you can see) in all weathers and all year round. It currently has the factory-fitted chain on it.</p> <p>According to my chain wear indicator, the chain is now over 1% stretched so must be replaced.</p> <p>The Brompton manual says change the chain and sprockets every 2,000 miles or so. 558 &lt;&lt; 2000.</p> <p>If you're a Brompton owner, do you only get 500 miles from your chain? </p>
