Finally got around to fixing the first puncture on my (no longer so new to me) Brompton. Noticed the chain was rather worn, so swapped that out and gave the tensioner/chainring a degrease and lube. Adjusted the hub and when I next rode it there was horrific skipping. I fettled the hub adjustment every which way, but to no avail. I thought it might be a worn sprocket, but it doesn't look like it and isn't that far off pics of a fresh specimen. I know they can be picky in terms of chain length but, while I didn't count the links, the tensioner looks about right from what I can find online. I didn't do anything to the hub itself other than remove and replace the indicator chain and it was shifting fine beforehand so I'm a bit lost as to what the issue could be.
Any ideas before I open
Pandora's boxthe hub? I know I can send the wheel to @sbbohr, but I'm not new to hub gears and am more perplexed than anything!
