Brompton owners

@lynx too
aye.

cabling needs a tidy and tying together
brake pads are not set right and wont be tight
Front wheel "axle protector" aka packaging left on
rear brake inner cable too long by my standards - hence why its bent over.
front dynamo routing through frame loop is incorrect
yes - rear light red wire doesnt look quite right.

good eyes!

I expect this from Evans...

So just a couple of weeks in to brompton ownership and it is stuck in the lowest gear! The shifter clicks but it doesn't change gear. Is there anything obvious I should I be checking to get it working again to save a trip to the shop? For reference, it's a 2-speed...

Anyone after a broomy mine folks? 2 speed raw lacquer

Hi
Ticking sound sorted, thanks for the advice.
How do i stabilise the derailleur is there a mod, or something?
TIA

Try cleaning derailleur & tensioner if dirty.

Two spokes, 14mm long, either side of the screw holding it to the Anchorage!

Pull the outer away from the shifter and then try shift, try to determine if it’s the shifter or just the Anchorage, if it’s dirty that will do the too

Got a spare Sturmey shifter, 3 speed indexed if anyone fancies one - £10 posted

Anyone know where I can buy a BROMPNOT sticker?

It seems to pull the cable but only a tiny amount. I'm unsure quite how much it should moving :-)

It looks clean to me so I suspect this is the problem. The shop want it back to service soon anyway so I'll let them handle it.

Is there a technique to pulling the seat up to the same(ish) height each time? I seem to get it wrong almost every time

Yes, there's a limit sleeve and get it inserted as part of the service.

What coveagle said!

Bike gang order arrived... Hubsmith, h+h, minimods, imperium cycles etc now at sjs!

Tried putting new folding pedal onto old style one-piece crank and it doesn’t fold. The bar that holds the pedal body in place when unfolded didn’t make it over the end of the crank. I guess they have changed something somewhere. Any ideas?

Should do! Got a photo and the washer in?

So...the grub screw issue I had.
Brompton sent lbs an extraction tool and a front half of the frame if the screw was too hard to shift.

Shop couldn’t remove the screw so new front half of frame.

All under warranty all gratis FOC £0

Cheers Brompton and Avon Valley Cyclery for making this happen

Did they keep the old front frame? I want it if not!

Yep they took that...didn’t even think about that

That’s £100 rrp...

You wana give them a call...

Can the threads on a gear indicator chain wear?

To answer my own question, it would appear so.

What type?

Do you mean the threads in the wheel hub, or the chain to the cable.
