Brompton should be paying you for explaining how to use their products so well! Thanks, really informative 👍

Your instructional videos are ten times better than Brompton's own videos! Thanks!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you so much for making this video!! Why did no one else make it so simple!?

Thank you for this. On Sunday I was riding my Brompton along our local trailway, dropped it into first to tackle a short but vicious slope, got halfway up and the hub gear changed up into third. I just about managed to mash my way up to the top. Headed home with the hub randomly changing gears. When I got home I noticed that the locknut was halfway down the thread. Had a search and found this video, a really useful and clearly explained guide. Followed the instructions and got it all set up as per your video. Took it out for a test ride yesterday and all is well. Thanks again for the great service you provide to the Brompton community with these Videos.

I wish my mechanic were so humble, patient and clear

Brilliant clear explanation. At the end of a long journey I finally worked out that it wasn’t just that my legs were tired it was that second gear wasn’t engaging. A watch of your video a minor tightening of the cable and second gear was restored. Many thanks.

Can I just say a HUGE thank you for fixing my brand new Brompton (indirectly), saving a lot of time to take it to the shop!!! Love from London 😘

True to your name, this was indeed brilliant and helpful! My local bike shop guys tried to fix my derailleur gear, but I now realize they were messing with the hub gear, which soon became wonky. Now I've got it fixed for real all by myself!

Really helpful video, straight to the point and detailed enough that I was able to follow the steps. I have just purchased my first Brompton (used) and by the time I got it home I could not change into any of the hub gears. Thought i’d been sold a duff one but your video helped me to identify that the cable anchor had come undone. Now it’s all working fine. Huge thanks. When I need to buy some spares or accessories, I will be coming toBrilliant Bikes!

Really brilliant explanation of how to fix a problem with my Brompton which has dogged me for almost a year! The problem was first caused by my local Brompton 'specialist' who did not reassemble the gear link after a tyre change. Thank you so much!

love your videos, style is so gentle but still really informative. I have learnt a lot and particularly appreciate finding out how to set the sturmy-archer gears they were a mystery to me! thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!! Thought I’d broken my 6 speed Brompton as gear 1 wasn’t selecting. Few videos I viewed were useless, then I remembered seeing a video about the hub on your channel. All fixed now! Thank you so much!

Great video with clear instructions! Hope to see more videos on tech/maintenance/tips and tricks for a smoother bike!

Very clear and useful. I love how easy Brompton are to work on. Thank you for the video! 😊

Thank you so much for this video!! I've been watching your channel for sometime now. I got the dreaded rear wheel puncture this evening. I couldn't have fix it without this video and the one about removing the rear wheel. Keep up the good work and stay safe :)

Finally an amazing video with clear video & audio instructions Amazing job done , thx

Extremely helpful, thank you! Feels great being able to do simple bike maintenance myself. Empowered! 😬💪

Thank you for your super Brompton videos. My BWR 3 speed became decoupled today during a (bumpy) ride. Because of your video - I knew exactly what to do. Cleaned my chain yesterday too!

Another great video and really clear explanation. I've just adjusted my gears -it wasn't engaging 3rd - so hopefully it'll work perfectly tomorrow when I ride

These films are brillliantly clear and easy to follow. I wish I'd found them sooner.

This was such a huge help, thank you very much! I'd had a sneaking suspension that my gears were off and was starting to think that I was going completely insane, and sure enough, the chain had slipped and I'd been spending all my time in third.

Thank you so much! Second day with my new bike and the hub stopped working correctly, you made it clear what was wrong and how to fix, amazing.

Brilliantissimo! Helpful with lovely British accent. My pink Brompton is ready for the end of lockdown soon in France.

Thankyou! Been putting it off for ages since I changed my rear tyre.

Thank you. Simple to understand. Give me better understanding on my own brompton bike parts.

Brilliant. Perfect instructions, clear and concise. Thank you 👍

This is very helpful and neat solution of adjusting hub gear! Thanks for sharing!

Super video, you need a virtual hug! Changing from 3rd to 2nd, or from 2nd to 1st requires a lot of pressure on my bike... armed with the knowledge from your video I’ll check the setup. Thanks again.

Saved me a trip to the bike shop and I understand how the gears work much better now - thank you!

Brilliant video! Thank you. You saved me a trip to the shop in a Belgian heatwave 👏🏻🔥

Very nice guidelines, you saved my day!! My brompton now is back to normal after following how you adjust and installed it!

Top content, lighthearted and straight to the point. Able to follow instructions and better than the official brompton instructions.

Thank you very much, so detailled and clear in instructions as well brilliant shooting! Looking forward to dive in all other your videos to get to know my Brompton better! Cheers from Turkey!

I watched this video so long ago when I was first thinking about a Brompton, now I come back because after receiving mine there was a weird noise when I was in the highest gear and pedaling on quiet pavement, even after doing the gear adjustment truth the hole... thank you for taking everything apart and starting from scratch, it was a full two turned loose inside the Hub so there was no way I was going to get it right without disconnecting the chain completely and screwing that rod in. Thank you so much!

really helped me sort out my slipping chain , who'd have thought such a minor adjustment to the gear indicator change would make such a difference

Every couple of months this video saves me. Thank you!

Great video! Very helpful. I turned on captions to help my American ears!

Excellent video thank you. Rode by new Brompton last week, got home , chain missing!. Lesson learnt. Ged

Really well explained. Great place to buy spares from too. Always a personal thanks on the receipt!

Oh my god, thank you for explaining how to adjust it properly. In the past i just chanced and eyeballed it until i got it right, this time it was still a bit of that, but i was armed with the knowledge and it seemed to have went quicker and result was better.

Thanks for all your informative videos...I really like to watch them! ;-) I set up my gear now correctly!

Well done. Another scrape you’ve helped me out of.

Thank you for this. Took my two-week old Brompton out this morning and halfway through the trip the hub gear stopped shifting. Checked this video, followed the very clear instructions and it's working again ... well, apart from the missing lock nut which, hopefully, the store still have and wonder where it came from.

Brilliant video, lovely lady! Thanks so much for this! X

Thanks, this was really helpful. I've just replaced the back tyre and I needed this info!

Well done. What a very clear and useful video. Thank you.

It's thanks to this amazingly attractive woman ❤️ with her wealth of knowledge and ability to educate with her blend of wit and sarcasm that I bought my first Brompton. Brilliant!!!!

Brilliant and simple thank you for a very easy to follow video. Saved my day..

Thank you very much for this highly needed Video!! I had problems with my new Bike and because of Lockdown couldn’t visit my Bikeshop. They send me a link to this video and I could solve the Problem! I noticed during my second ride with the new Brompton that I couldn’t switch to the 3. Gear anymore. At home I saw, the two loose endings. I tried to connect the loose endings in 2. Gear (like you should do when changing the wheel) but couldn’t. After watching your video I was able to connect. So thank you very much, you saved my Christmas ride ☺️👍🏻!!

Thanks that helped me understand how it works. The Brompton Manual don't mention the part how to adjust the gear indicator chain at all! On a 3 or 6 speed gearing, put 2nd gear in and check that 1 mm is showing in the securing wheel nut... Got it!

I have an early Electric in white and find the 3 gears are all I ever use the +/- never get used as I leave it in + all the time. Thank you for this vid as I had to change my rear tyre and couldn't work out how to adjust the gears properly.

Referred back to this one today as my hub gears stopped working properly on a short ride home! Guess what the problem might have been? Yarp - the lock nut had worked loose and the adjuster was busy working itself free of the thread! Now sorted, degreased, oiled, wiped off, re-installed and adjusted... ✅ 👏🏻 Thank you much... 👍🏻 💚

The gear indicator chain can if turned in too much will lock before it is directly in line with the gear cable bracket. After inserting fully turn back half a turn before setting as per your instructions. My cable came loose, I lost the locknut and bought the cheapest on eBay to get a new locknut. When I reassembled to the 1mm mark, my gears were hit and miss and very hard to change, I had calibrated it in 3rd gear. Your movie corrected my error. I also used mole grip and plumbers pliers to make the locknut unable to work loose again. Nail varnish, superglue will do but proper threadlock will be best.

Very good video and all. Thanks for the input!

Very nice explanation

Thanks, very useful demo.

Thank you, I just hot the shifter replaced the the shop must of missed the lock... As soon as you said that I had a look (currently on a train) and yes... There it is dangling there!

Thank you for this detailled instruction!!!

Very clear instructions. Thanks

This was really useful.... I haven't removed my rear wheel yet, so good to know the best way to readjust the hub gears.

Would love to see Brompton make a 3-Speed derailleur. Great video on the hub gear.

Thank you so much for these videos.

Magnifico vídeo muchas gracias he aprendido mucho. Saludos 👍🏻

Well done and thank you for the lesson.

Just what I needed. Thank you!

2:53 Saved me a lot of time again.

I love the way you anthropomorphise ...'he just goes in finger tight' etc...does it for me.

This is a great video! Thank you very much!

Thanks for the great tutorial.

Love your videos!

10/10 for video. 7/10 for cleanliness of the chain :-)

Big Thank You From Singapore.! Love you😍

Great video on the three speed gear change process. Can you please make a video on the +/- left hand gear shifter. For the second time this has ceased to work on my Brompton and adjustment is not obvious. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing.

I´d like to see you entire bike review

What a blessing this video was for me 👍🏼👌🏼❤

I found that on my bike put the gear shift in 6 and 2 then check the 1mm length in both 5 and 2 has well I found a difference on my ie 6 and 2 seems to change better but always sect 6/3 to change wheels etc like your video

Thank you for an uncomplicated explanation...

very useful and really worked

I just received a raw lacquer S6L "Demo Bike" from Lakeside Bicycles in Portland Oregon. I happily got on it but was dismayed to find that I couldn't change gears. Thanks to this video I see that the Gear Indicator Chain is loose from the Cable Anchor.

Hi brilliantbikes, thank you for all your videos. They're really helpful. Godbless.

Great video - thanks!

Perfect. Thank you

Thanks. Super helpful ❤

Muchísimas gracias !

Great video. Thank you!

You guys are life savers I mean it cheers

Thank you for the explanation. I have just been able to make some adjustments and my new 6 speed Brompton is no longer slipping out of gear 1 into gear 2. Very frustrating on hills!

I was taught to adjust it so the end was flush, rather than 1mm proud...has always worked for me from my 1st 3-speed (early '60s) to my current Brompton...so, about 60 years now LOL.

Brilliant. Clear. Thank you.

Very clear! Thank you

Thanks. Really helpful.

Thank you

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for sharing

Great vid that explains the 3 gear hub. However the -/+ gear slips and at present won’t shift into +. Can you add a vid to explain how that gear changer can be adjusted?

Top job.

Great Video! Is there a video on how to check and fix front wheel bearings?

This is also helpful information in case you ever get a flat tire on the rear wheel.

I think even I might be able to cope with that, Thanks.
