  • It's all gone a bit wrong in the freewheel department on my 2 speed:

    I noticed that it was skipping and this is why.
    The larger cog is all wavy-in-and-out, one of the teeth was bent right over, and when I took a pair of pliers to it it snapped off with little effort.

    Obviously I just put down too much power for the crappy cogs.
    Brompton will sell replacements for a tenner, which says everything about their quality really. Can you buy better ones? are they standard? Could I put better gearing on it?
    And what's that retaining ring - what tool do I need to get that off?

  • The ring will need a special tool.... I used a honking great screwdriver. Doddle to do just tease it out a but then up over the top. Then look on the floor for it.
