Brompton Roadside Rear Wheel Puncture Repair

How to remove your Brompton rear wheel to fix a puncture

So, you're out riding your Brompton folding bike and get a puncture, worse still it's the rear wheel / tyre

We show how to:
Remove the rear wheel and chain tensioner
Remove the tyre / tube and check that there's nothing that will cause an instant re-puncture
Install a new tube (lucky you always carry a spare - right?)
Re-install the tyre
Re-install the wheel

This may just save you an Uber fare

Yes - we were lucky and it was a Schwalbe One - but the same principles apply to all Brompton tyres

We were also going to show how to adjust the hub gears but ....
The video was getting a bit long and (the real reason) the battery went flat on our camera and we forgot to take the spares (so much for preparation)

This video shows how to set up the hub gears

Worst case - you can just ride home with a singe gear
