Brompton S-Type case study.
A customer problem with a Brompton S-Type (Pre-2017) Laura presented her older 6 speed Brompton, which had been purchased second hand. i noticed it had a Sachs 3-speed hub fitted to the rear wheel. The 13/15T gear sprockets were very worn and the chain was was slipping over these gears on every Bristol hill she encountered and a standard 50T Brompton chainring wasn't helping make things easier either! A local Brompton dealership had tried to sell Laura a whole new rear wheel, which she considered a rather costly solution to a mechanical problem.
i solved the root cause of the problem creatively and at a lower cost. As proprietary Brompton gear sprocket-set upgrades (13 & 15T) were discontinued for the Sachs 3 speed hub gear, i researched and implemented a very effective solution, which resulted in 'easier' (lower-ratio) gearing on the older 6 speed Brompton.
i sourced new parts from a local supplier and fitted new 13 &16T Sturmey Archer sprockets (with a thin Shimano spacer) and a new Brompton 44T spider-type crankset and bottom bracket, so the chainring could be replaced economically, when worn out.
Laura was delighted to ride away on her refurbished wide-ratio 6 Speed Brompton, which was now much more joyful to ride, with 'easier' gears.
i was happy to be able to find a workable solution for Laura and i can help you too, so why not book a Brompton Upgrade Consultation with iLovesMyBike today?
