When I bought my 2019 now much less than SuperlightM6LXBrompton (8,5 kilo, with mudguards!), I bought a special Sturmey Archer key, expecting I would need it to change the double chain ring? But now I know its actual purpose! Thank You! Finn. 😁Denmark
Hola! I have just disassembled the hub and it was surprising to find that there was a planet gear missing… it just had 3 of them. First of all I thought one of them popped out or similar and I didn’t see it come out, but later I noticed that the part that holds these gears, had signals of use/friction in 3 of the spaces, and the fourth one was just as new. Do you know if any of these hubs come just with 3 of these gears? Is it just that my hub wasn’t properly assembled in the factory? Thank you for your help and for the videos!
Sorry for the late reply. I have not check the comments for quite a while. Well, I have never heard of a Brompton hub has one planet gear missing. And I’m surprise that it still runs well. If you are okay with this, do nothing and keep it that way. I believe it has been running fine for quite a while? Or you can try your luck by writing to brilliantbikes.co.uk/ or sales@sjscycles.com to check if they sell the pinion gear and pin, do highlight if you have a BWR or BSR hub. The next possibility is to change the whole cage (part number HSA797).
Hello. I love this video very well done! I got problem. Having an old Brompton T5 model. I bought it one week ago but the gear hub now skipping. When I bought it was completely fine. It's my bad luck haha. Can you tell me where can I buy this tool what you use at 0:41 ? I am stuck here. I living in UK but I can't found anywhere...
@@fun2011idea Thank you very much! Every one have the same problem I guess because everywhere out of stock. I wait one more week and then I try open it somehow without tool. Thanks again!
Thank you for your video. Please write, are you satisfied with your ultrasonic cleaner? Is this the 2l version? What do you soak parts in a plastic container with? All the best.
Sorry for the late reply, yes I'm happy with my ultrasonic cleaner, this is the 1l version big enough for this and use much less degreaser. The plastic container is just water, you need to rinse the degreaser away.

Hi, it is a Sturmey Archer HTR 145 Classic Ball Ring Spanner. You can search on the web, I bought this at SJS Cycle.
You can find more details on my post bromptoncraft.wordpress.com/2021/07/04/disassembling-the-brompton-bwr-hub/
