“Shifting Chain” Cedar Park, 2023
Today I installed a rear rack to my Brompton bicycle. It was a little more difficult than I was expecting, but only because the fender placement wasn’t specified in the instructions. If you don’t position the edge of the fender on top of the frame triangle, it will rub against the tire. Luckily, I recalled that the old fender (which had to be swapped with the rack’s fender) was positioned that way, so I did the same with my new fender
Anyways, the photo above shows the little shifting chain that connects to the internal hub. I wanted to document the correct adjustment position. The installation of the rear rack involves removing the rear wheel so there are several steps that are required and it is good to do them for the first time in the comfort of home, rather than out on the road fixing a flat. Now that I’ve done it, it will be easy to change a tire or fix a flat in case I need to!
