  • Brompton shifter longevity/ lifespan.
    My 3 speed shifter is sticking a bit on return to 2nd gear.
    It's approximately 3 months old, had a look inside it and it seems OK.
    On it's way out already?
    Any advice?

    Switch to a lever-type shifter; fitted in the correct place on the handlebar the action is ergonomic. SA manufacture a variety of them. I have been using the same SACHS/SRAM Torpedo shifter since 2002, which works fine with SA 3-speed hubs. A replica of the SACHS shifter is available from SJS Cycles.

  • Basically replace it with an old school friction shifter.
    Thanks, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind to do that!
