Brompton derailleur chain tensioner

Chain tensioner for 2 and 6 speed Brompton folding bikes

This chain tensioner is for Brompton folding bikes with 2 speed, 6 speed SRAM or 6 speed Sturmey Archer / BWR (Brompton Wide Ratio) gears

This can be identified by the fact it has 2 identical looking black jockey wheels where the chain sits in a groove in the jockey wheel

This works as a chain tensioner (keeping the chain tight when riding and folded) and as part of the Brompton designed derailleur mechanism - by having juckey wheels which can move from side to side to allow the chain to move between the two rear sprockets

To make your chain tensioner last as longer - keep your chain clean and not over lubricated

For details of how to adjust the Brompton derailleur, check out this technical video from Brompton.

Fitting instructions are included or can be viewed in the downloads tab

Brompton Q part code: QCTADR
Brompton part number: 9023011 

If you have a single, three or five speed Brompton (i.e. no derailleur) then you need the standard chain tensioner (QCTA)

We made this short video to help identify which chain tensioner you have, as well as how to remove and install it

We also made this video about how the chain tensioner fits into the Brompton derailleur system and how to adjust that

  • Asked by Peter
    on 29/07/2019     Hello. I have a Sturmey Archer fitted Brompton and want to eventually replace the cogs (13 and 16 tooth). Are these available from any Sturmey Archer service provider or does Brompton have a custom "Brompton-Sturmey-Archer" hub?Thank you ... Answer:
    Brompton uses a special hub on its 6 speed bike which allows two sprockets to be fitted - this is the BWR hub and uses Shimano style splines. The 3 speed - the BSR hub - uses ISO / 3 splines. Unfortunately the two are not compatible with each other. If you have a 6 speed already - then the Brompton 6 speed sprocket set will fit.

    on 04/07/2021     Is it okay to put some locktite on the thread that the chain tensioner nut screws onto? I adjust it to finger tight and then an extra 1/4 turn with the 15mm spanner but it is either too tight and there is resistance when turning the pedal or if I release it a little after a days riding the nut begins to unscrew itself. Answer:
    It should not need locktight and we would not recommend this. If you would like a. Idea for reference we made a while ago, link as follows: https://youtu.be/-mGfuqxilO4
