Installation requires some mechanical skill. If you are not comfortable with bicycle mechanics, it is recommended to have a professional Brompton mechanic install it for you.
It's advisable to inspect your gear cable regularly for wear and tear. Replacement frequency depends on usage and conditions, but typically every 1-2 years or when shifting performance degrades.
Check the cable tension. It may need to be adjusted. Ensure the outer casing is not kinked or obstructed. Verify that the inner cable is properly seated in the shifter and derailleur mechanism.
The outer casing may be dirty or damaged internally, or the inner cable may be worn. Inspect for damage and consider replacement. Ensure the cable is routed smoothly without sharp bends.
Replace the inner cable immediately. Inspect the outer casing for any damage that might have caused the inner cable to fray or snap.
Compatibility: This cable set is exclusively for Brompton bicycles equipped with the integrated hub gear shifter system, as introduced in 2017. It fits H Type, M Type, P Type, and S Type models from that year onwards. Please verify your shifter type before purchase. The part codes for specific types are QGSCAB3HUB-H, QGSCAB3HUB-M, QGSCAB3HUB-P, and QGSCAB3HUB-S.
Setup: Installation requires mechanical aptitude. It typically involves disconnecting the old cable, routing the new outer casing through the frame and shifter mechanism, and then threading and securing the inner cable. Proper tensioning is crucial for correct gear indexing. It is recommended to consult a qualified Brompton mechanic if you are unsure about the installation process.
Care: To ensure longevity and performance, keep the cable housing clean and free from debris. Periodically check the inner cable for signs of fraying or corrosion. Lubrication of the inner cable is generally not recommended for hub gear systems as it can attract dirt; focus instead on ensuring the outer casing is intact and free of kinks.
