Brompton Gear indicator chain for 3 speed Sturmey, Alloy shell

Sturmey Archer gear indicator chain Mk II

As used on the current (as at 2018) Brompton BSR - Brompton Standard Ratio and BWR (6 speed) - Brompton Wide Ratio wheels

This chain pulls the internal hub gear to actuate a gear change (don't pedal as you change hub gears)

Suitable for Sturmey Archer / Brompton alloy shell hubs

This has a longer axle than the MK I - but you won't be able to compare unless you have both

We have added a picture with approx size to help you measure the axle length (we make it approx 65.5mm from the tip of the the screw - into the axle - to the end of the knuckle on the first link of the chain)

The gear indicator chain comes complete with the locking nut which tightens against the cable anchor on the Brompton

As of 2024 a small split washer is included to prevent the chain from coming loose, that cam happen when the gear cable is slack, open the packing carefully so as not to loose it
