Hi:hello:I have been playing around with my gears and chain pusher all set perfect my 1st and 2nd dont sound as silent as 3, 4, 5, 6 if going up hills its like a whirling sound brompton told me every 6 speed bike will do that in the low gears something about inside the hub paws rub or something if u add more grease to hub that noise will silent. Do any of you notice a different in your low gears on 6 speed brompton? If u ride though town or somewhere with background noise u would not notice it if in a quite area u notice it straight away.im still unsure about the low gears make more noise? if yours are ok im going to take wheel off and reset everything from scrach

As I have said before, the lowest gear will be noisy in any wide range hub, which means both 1st and 2nd as these are gear one in the hub. This gradually reduces over time.
