After my bike was stolen I decided to finally have a Brompton to call it mine! I was thrilled for the G Line because it has those 20" wheels just like my previous bike. it was almost like it was made for me you know? They recently released this model and my name starts with G 😂
Anyway I'm having trouble with the folding mechanism. Every time I tried to fold and unfold the chain got loose and slipped out of the crank. or even worse it got tangled up and I have to spend some time untangled it. ever happened to any or you? I saw videos of people turning the wheel upside down like there is nothing and the chain seems to remain tensioned perfectly. I tried to use the last gear but it doesn't seem to help. After folded when I tried to turn the wheel again sometimes it got stuck because of the loose chain and I have to stop mid fold to fix the chain position.
I was wondering if there is something wrong with my bike or if I just need to get the hang of it at some point?
Next there's a picture of how the chain is when I turn the wheel upside down.
Besides that the bike is beautiful! It rides perfectly fine!
