Hello

The front hinge of my 2012 bike is very tight. I've given it a really good clean with maintenance spray and then have been applying chain lubricant, as advised by Brompton's technical service via telephone. It has made some difference but folding the bike is still a pain.

Any ideas?

Ring them back?

Take it to a bike shop?

Sorry can't be more helpful.

What sort of chain lube did you use?... I've always found that my 2012 H3 (now an H11) responds well to a drop of graphite-loaded winter/wet chain oil. Apply on the hinge with the bike on its side works best.
