Brompton rear frame clip retrokit WITH seat-post quick release clamp

For bikes (pre-2007) with 8mm rather than 6mm bolt on the seatpost quick release.

Here is a Brompton video showing what it does and how to fit it.

The rear frame clip assembly can be set in latch mode or non-latch mode.

In latch mode the clip automatically engages with the rear frame when it's unfolded, so that the rear frame / wheel doesn't fold when your Brompton is lifted.

In non-latch mode the clip can't engage, leaving the rear frame free to fold and allowing easier parking.

To switch between the two modes, you simply rotate the suspension block (this has to be done with the clip disengaged).

Tools required:
Adjustable spanner (for removal of seat clamp nut)
Cross head screwdriver 

Brompton part number: QRFCLIP-RETKIT

In 2010 Brompton produced 28000 bicycles (75% for the export Market) and are now the UKs largest bicycle manufacturer.

At the heart of the company is making a bloody good bike - says MD Will Butler-Adams. We don't need to say more.
