The rear frame clip stops your Brompton bike folding automatically when you pick it up.

Availability date:
The rear frame clip was originally introduced by Brompton in 2007. It stops your Brompton from automatically folding each time you pick it up (such as for going up or down a short set of steps)
This kit is designed to retro-fit to pre-2007 model Bromptons adding the improved functionality - one of the best upgrades available for early model Brompton folding bikes
If your bike folds automatically when you pick it up - you probably want this - we think it's the best Brompton upgrade out there!
It clips the rear triangle in an unfolded position, to stop the bike folding automatically when picked up - particularly useful when carrying up a flight of stairs (e.g. at the office / station)
Note For bikes (pre-2007) with 8mm rather than 6mm bolt on the seatpost quick release Even if you have a quick release on the seatpost, it is a different diameter (8mm) - so you need the new quick release in order for the rear frame kit to fit (it's now 6mm - so the old clamp is not compatible with the rear frame clip alone) |
The rear frame clip assembly actually has two modes - it 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 (so great for those who liked having no catch but maybe share the bike with someone who does!)
To switch between the two modes, you simply rotate the suspension block (this has to be done with the clip disengaged).
* We recommend that you put grease on the bolt which runs through the rear suspension block (or it will squeak as you ride / pedal)

Superb
I bought a second hand Brompton that didn’t have a rear frame clip. This kit is just what I was after. I found the instructions a little difficult to follow, but even so only took about 10-15 minutes to fit. Make sure you update your suspension block as well as mine didn’t have a ‘cut-out’ in the bottom which is needed for the clip to lock in place. Excellent service from Brilliant Bikes too!
Control your rear end!
Everything you need to allow you to choose when you want to fold the rear end of your Brompton on older models.
Very well designed with attention to detail. Easy to follow instructions and fit.
Very satisfactory solution. You will appreciate when manoeuvring bike.
As ever with Brompton Parts they work
Yes Brompton bits are not cheap BUT they fit first time, do what they say they are going to do and last. This makes moving the old bike up and down a flight of stairs easy!
