Hi All,
My Brompton M3L chain has in the last few days taken to losing tension and has come off a few times and I'm not sure what the cause is.
The chain was replaced a couple of months ago, SRAM PC1, and I try to keep it clean/lubed regularly.
I've also replaced the chain tensioner without any improvement.
I've noticed that when back pedalling in 1st and 2nd gear there is a reasonable amount of tension, but 3rd seems to have more resistance and the chain goes slack making it easy to fall off. My worry is the hub is fubar'd.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

OK, it was me what done it! Do not put too much grease in the hub! LBS fixed it.
I'm rapidly getting the hang of how NOT to do maintenance.
