Sturmey Archer MKII Gear indicator chain for 3 speed Brompton Sturmey, Alloy shell

Sturmey Archer gear indicator chain Mk II

This part is sourced from Sturmey Archer but is exactly the same as used on the current (as at 2024) Brompton BSR - Brompton Standard Ratio and BWR (6 speed) - Brompton Wide Ratio wheels

Brompton called this QGICH-SA[2]

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

Compatible hubs include:

• Brompton Sturmey Archer BWR 6 speed - Brompton Wide Ratio - this includes the Brompton Electric Brompton Wide Ratio rear wheel
• Brompton Sturmey Archer BSR - Brompton Sturmey Archer - as used on the B75 / A Line
• Sturmey Archer AW / SAB3 / AB / AG with 6 1/4 inch (159 mm) axle length

This can be identified by SA II carved into the the spindle (you will need to remove the indicator chain to check what yours says) - you will also need to remove the dirt covering the marking on your existing indicator chain

We made this short video showing where the gear indicator chain fits and connects to the gear cable via the cable anchor, and how to adjust the hub gears
