BRAKES
You should adjust your brakes on a regular basis as they are critical to your safety. The time between
adjustments will vary depending on how often you use your Brompton; if your brake lever touches the handle
bar when you pull on it, your brakes need urgent adjustment. The brakes should be set so that the brake pads
are as close to the rims as possible without interfering with the rotation of the wheels. Adjustment is carried
out using the threaded cable stop on the brake lever. If you are unsure of how to do this, have it adjusted by
a Brompton dealer or qualified bicycle technician.
• When setting the rear brake, the bicycle should be unfolded
• When setting the front brake, do not set the pads so close that they bind on the rim when the wheel
is turned to the right or left
• Replace your brake pads if the grooves on the brake pad surface are less than 1mm deep
Keeping your rims and brake pads clean will improve your braking performance and increase the lifespan
of the pads and rims. The black residue that accumulates on the rims is a mixture of dirt, pad material and
aluminium powder worn from the braking surface of the rim, this residue is abrasive and will accelerate the
wear of the rim and pads. When cleaning the pads and rims check to ensure they are not worn out and a
worn rim or pads should be replaced immediately.
LIGHTING
Two lighting options are available on Bromptons; a battery-operated front and rear lamp and a hub dynamo
system that generates electricity while you cycle. These Brompton lighting sets can be fitted to any bike
model. Please use these lights in accordance with local laws. For technical information relating to the
operation of the battery lamps and hub dynamo system, please refer to the technical section on our website

THE REAR FRAME CLIP
To release the rear frame press the small lever (fig. 12) forward and lift the bike so the suspension block
moves away from the latch and the rear wheel swings under the frame. Lower the bike so it sits in the parked
position.
