    3 SPEED TRIGGER
    Operation.
    The lever has two operating arms to reduce the reach required
    for each gear change. When changing gear, ease pressure on
    the pedals. If the bicycle is stationary ease the pedals slightly
    backwards.
    The Brompton 3 speed trigger can be used with Sturmey
    Archer and Sram 3 speed hubs that are used on the Brompton.

    Position
    The mounting position of the trigger on the handlebar has been
    chosen for easy operation and to avoid clashing with the front fig GTR1
    spokes when folded. You may of course want to choose CS
    another position and this can be achieved by moving the trigger
    along the
    handlebar, rotating the trigger on the trigger boss TB or both, however
    the resulting cable routing may not be satisfactory.
    the hub gear will need to be readjusted.
    the trigger may clash with the front spokes when folded. TB

    Fig. GTR1 shows a typical set-up viewed from the front. The trigger should be as near as
    possible to the brake lever.
    Fig. GTR2 shows the method for rotating the control on the trigger boss. fig
    Figs. GTR3 and GTR4 show the two most likely mounting positions for the control. GTR2
    The dashed outline shows the position of the lever arms in the lowest gear. Note the position of
    the lower arm relative to the handlebar.

    Fitting/replacing the trigger


    If you are replacing a Sturmey Archer or Sram trigger disconnect fig
    the cable adjustor from the gear indicator at the rear hub and GTR3
    remove the cable adjustor from the inner wire. The inner wire
    can now be removed from the outer cable and the trigger. Undo the
    trigger handlebar clip and remove the screw. Open the clip and
    remove the control from the handlebar (avoid scratching the bar).
    We strongly recommend that both the trigger inner wire and outer
    cable be replaced. TIP. To ensure the correct outer cable run, use
    the old cable as a guide when fitting the new outer cable, removing
    the old cable as the new cable is fitted.
    fig
    If you are replacing a Brompton trigger, disconnect the cable at the GTR4
    hub as above
    To remove the inner wire from the Brompton trigger, set the trigger lever in the middle gear position and lightly push
    the lever in direction 1 (fig. GTR7) to open up the cable loading window 2.
    The inner wire can now be removed through the window 2 in the reverse direction to the direction 3 shown. Some
    twisting of the wire will help.

    fig GTR5
    fig GTR6 TB
    Next undo the clip screw CS and remove the trigger, leaving the metal clip on the handlebar. Re-use the old clip when
    fitting the new control unless it is damaged.

    If fitting the new handlebar clip, open the clip, as shown in fig.GTR5, to allow this to be fitted to the handlebar, without
    marking it. Squeeze the ends of the clip together and push the trigger boss TB onto the new clip fig.GTR6, (or else onto
    the old already closed clip).

    The rotational position of the trigger can now be selected as shown in


    fig.GTR2.
    Tighten the clip screw CS to a torque of 5Nm maximum. Note, if you wish to
    change the trigger angle after securing it, the tapered trigger boss TB may have
    CVS become jammed in the housing - it can be withdrawn using pliers

    To fit the inner wire to the new trigger, set the trigger lever in the middle gear
    position and lightly push the lever in direction 1 (fig.GTR7) to open up the
    cable loading window 2.
    The inner wire can now be loaded through the window 2 as shown in direction
    3.

    Fig. GTR8 shows the route the wire should take through the control.
    TIP. Rotating the inner wire slightly while feeding the inner wire through the
    control can assist the loading. If you experience trouble feeding the wire through
    fig GTR7 the trigger nipple hole, set the control as shown in fig GTR7 and look for the
    hole in the trigger nipple TN through the window and then visually guide the
    inner wire into the trigger nipple

    TN Feed the inner wire through the outer cable on the bike and push the outer
    cable fully into the nose of the control. TIP. Fitting of the outer cable can be
    assisted by unscrewing the cover screw CVS a couple of turns. Don’t forget to
    retighten the screw afterwards.

    Next, with the bicycle unfolded, ensure that the inner wire is correctly routed
    around the pulley on the rear frame and loosely re-fit the cable adjustor
    (figs.AR5 & AR6). Make sure that the indicator rod is screwed fully home into
    the hub (and backed off not more than half a turn to obtain correct alignment
    fig with the cable). After ensuring that the hub is in top gear attach the cable
    GTR8 adjustor to the indicator rod, the minimum amount necessary for a robust
    connection and pull the inner wire through the cable clamp on the cable adjustor
    so that most of the slack is taken up. Tighten the cable clamp to secure the cable
    adjustor onto the inner wire.

    Hub-Gear adjustment.

    Adjustment of the gear control must be carried out with the bike fully unfolded (i.e NOT parked), and with the indicator
    rod screwed fully home into the hub (and backed off not more than half a turn to align with the cable). The aim is to
    make sure that the indicator rod & chain down at the the rear axle moves to the correct position in response to moving
    the trigger. For this the cable has to be running well: it must be free of kinks or sharp radii, with the cable pulley rolling
    freely.

    While setting gears, you should ensure that the gear you select by moving the control trigger has indeed engaged in the
    hub, and to this end, each time you are moving the trigger, keep the wheel spinning forwards, and pedal back and
    forwards, to ensure the gear engages. It's easiest, when actually altering the setting, to have the cable slack: so select top
    gear and back and forward pedal a bit first.

    If you cannot obtain a satisfactory setting, then the most likely cause is either the cable not running freely, or damage to
    the indicator chain itself, where it runs into the axle end. Otherwise, the fault may be with the hub internals.

    SRAM 3-spd gear adjustment:.


    The cable is made tighter by pushing the adjustor A further onto the grooved end C
    B of the indicator chain GICH: to obtain a looser setting, the spring clip C has to D
    be depressed.
    You can usually get things right first time by moving the trigger into top gear, B D CPULA
    pulling on the adjustor (away from the pulley housing CPULA), and then feeding
    the grooved end B of the indicator chain into the adjustor until it is just not loose,
    i.e. WITHOUT pulling the indicator chain out of the axle at all. The setting is A
    correct when:-
    fig AR5
    with the trigger in top, the cable is just slack (with a Brompton Y-trigger bike unfolded
    fitted, there should be up to 5mm side-to-side movement at D-D, and with a
    Sram Torpedo trigger, rather less), in other words neither flopping around
    too much, nor taut. If, when you try pulling the adjustor A away from the GICH
    CPULA, you can see any movement of the indicator chain back into the axle
    where it enters it, then the setting is too tight, and
    with the trigger in low, the indicator chain (where it enters the end of the axle) should either move not at all, or
    perhaps up to 1mm, when you pull the adjustor towards the CPULA (if it moves more than this, then the setting is
    probably too loose: on the other hand, if, while back-pedalling and moving the trigger slowly from mid- to low-
    position, you see that the indicator chain stops moving out of the end of the axle before the trigger has clicked into
    low-position, then the setting is probably too tight), and
    when pedalling forwards (under no load) and changing through the 3 gears, both up and down, all three gears are
    positively selected.

    STURMEY ARCHER 3-spd adjustment:


    B
    Adjustment is carried out by slackening the lock nut N, turning the barrel B to
    obtain correct setting, and relocking the nut N. Ensure the indicator rod is the N
    correct length for the hub-type. CPULA

    3-speed. Engage top gear, then move the


    control trigger to the middle position: the
    step, S, towards the end of the indicator
    rod, IR, should be level with the end of fig AR6
    the axle, visible through the hole in the
    CTN. Next, select bottom gear, then
    middle, then top, and check that all three
    are engaging correctly.
