Hi everyone,
Just replaiced the chain on my Brompton 3-speed.
Made sure I bought the right chain 3/32 chain with 98 links. Installed the chain and now the chain tesioner is skipping under load.
How do I fix this? Sprocket teeth look fine btw.

Did you also change the sprocket?
The sprocket and chain always wear together (we always recommending changing both at the same time)
Slipping is the most common symptom
I think I would check for a stiff link….
In your video, the chainring looks to be a 54T, which should have a 100 link chain. The 98 link chain is used with the 50T chainring. Look for the chainring tooth count or count the teeth to be sure.
