Bits dropping from my Brompton

[Mice]

Whilst carrying my Brompton through a department store this afternoon I heard a noise and found that these three pieces had fallen from my Brompton.

In case you wondered, I think they are from the front wheel and were holding a stay (stay??) which has the clip on it that keeps the folded bike clipped to the frame. (I realise I may be using some of the right words but not necessarily in the right order!)

If you have a minute to let me know which bit goes in which order and in which direction/side that would be great.

Big thanks

Brill - super speedy reply, thank you. Except..... Ooops silly me! I forgot to mention 4. The clippy bit. Where does that fit in?

2a...if that makes sense.

 

[Mice]

Indeed it does make sense, bromptonfb!

Is this right?

Many thanks!

Nope...the washer (the flat round thing) need to be on the other side of the catch.

Aha! Like this??

Thank you for the link - as clear as mud! Cycle Chat Peeps much, much more helpful!

Fingers crossed this time it's right. Then I will tighten it with a spanner rather than by hand!

Big thanks!

In the right order, but spin the dished washer to fit the fork catch (3) before tightening.

 

[Mice]

Cool! Hopefully I have moved the right bit...

Big thanks

Don't forget that the tab goes into the hole in the fork, it stops the wheel falling out when loose.

You always think bikes need cleaning!!

 

[Mice]

Needs a clean.

Hahahahaha!!! Indeed it does!!

Am still trying to work out bromptonfb's last comment - tap into the hole in the fork - might go to bike shop tomorrow to have it checked! It does work tho now and everything stayed together which is reassuring!! So thank you very much bromptonfb.

Yebbut only when they do need a clean! Ianrauk always notices how clean my road bike is. The Brommie however is a whole different ballgame!!
