2 to 6 speed Brompton upgrade instructions:

Step 1 - Check that you have all of the components as listed above

Step 2 - Prepare the new rear wheel

Install the rim tape

Install an inner tube and tyre (don't inflate the tyre yet as it's easier to install on the bike while deflated)

Install the sprocket set

Step 3 - Install the new rear wheel

Remove the old two - speed rear wheel

Install the new 3/6 speed wheel - this step will allow you to continue to use the bike as a 2 speed (although slightly heavier and in a higher gearing) - and you can go back to this if having any issues trying to figure out how the 3 speed mechanism works

Remove the gear indicator chain and keep safe

We also do this to quickly switch between 2 and 6 speeds when travelling (we sometimes want a 2 speed for lighter bike)

Step 4 - Install the 3 speed controls

You can install the 3 speed trigger, cable, gear cable pulley and cable anchor without connecting it - the bike will continue to run as a 2 speed with the new wheel

We velcro the cable anchor to the rear frame to keep it safe / from interfering with anything it shouldn't

Step 5 - Connect up the rear wheel

Insert the gear indicator chain

Connect the cable anchor to the gear indicator chain and adjust

Step 6 - Test ride 

Note: Some instructions are included (with the wheel) - but you will need some mechanical / technical knowledge to do the upgrade. If you want to check out in advance, please contact us by clicking here
