I have a 2015 6-speed Brompton.
Last week, I was struggling to get it to shift to the higher gears (5/6) as the shifter felt like it was stuck on something. Would go after several attempts, but sometimes I needed to flick it the other way first and then it went.
Unfortunately, I was away all last weekend and will be away all this weekend, so time is limited.
But I do need to give it a look at as there were several times this morning when I couldn't get it to shift at all. Given that 4th and 5th are my two most used gears, it's problematic.
In order to save time diagnosing, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? i.e. which end should I start looking at? D Othey shifters wear out? Is the chain at the other end end likely to catching on something?
TIA
