Brompton BLACK derailleur gear shifter with integrated brake lever

Description

Brompton 2017 derailleur gear shifter and integrated brake lever – BLACK

2 speed shifters are used on 2 speed and 6 speed bikes and control the rear derailleur gear mechanism. On 6 speed bikes the 2 speed derailleur works in conjunction with a 3 speed hup gear system, giving 6 gears in total.

These new shifters were introduced on 2017 model bikes late in 2016

The integrated shifter is not compatible with older brake levers (they have no mounting holes)

The Brompton 2-speed shifter uses a self-returning lever to change between the two gears.

Pushing it down with your thumb will shift into an easier gear and clicking the lever upwards with the back of the thumb will shift into a harder gear.

It is possible to change gear while pedalling or stationary, though the gear will not engage until the pedals are moving forward (i.e. you start pedalling).

The indicator window shows you which gear is selected. (+ for higher gear and – for lower gear)
