  • Brompton survived the commute.

    New big gear was fine even into this morning's headwind, and the slightly higher lower gear was a bit more useful than usual. I'm looking forward to this evening's tailwind commute home :)

    Also, cleaning the mech and sticking a new chain and sprockets on have made everything run nice and quietly. I need to clean everything more often...

  • Especially the rear 2 speed derailleur that get fogged up quite easily.

    My advice? Buy another one, so you can fit the new one on, and soak the old one properly to removed all the gurk (small flat headed screwdriver work best I have found).

  • Not a bad idea at all, think I'll get one for next time.

    I found hot water, fairy liquid and a 2mm allen key did the trick, really fiddly to get in all the nooks and crannies though.
