The silver small wheel of the derrailleur seems to be a narrow-wide teeth configuration so that each teeth matches only one space of the chain. This is useful to avoid the chain to go out of the wheel, specially if there are no guiding on the sides, as in a regular derrailleur

You are right. Sorry, I made a mistake that I didn't notice it was a narrow-wide jockey wheel(guide pulley). Now I've put it back to the bike🙏🏼.

****What parts do you need? You need an external gear wheelset with 74 front and 112 rear hub clearances. A cassette sprocket from 4-7 speeds. Also, you need a new chain from 9-speed to 11-speed depending on the spacing of the custom sprockets. Like this one, it's a 7-speed cassette but it's using 11-speed spacing, so I need an 11-speed chain. Unlike this normal 7-speed cassette, which is wider. they're different. Hub body spacers, if you're using 4-6 speed you might need more of these or a thicker one. But they're easy to find from most bike shops. Some third-party custom shifting components, such as, a shifter, a derailleur and a chain tensioner. Shift cable and cable housing might also be needed for the right lengths. At least 2 inner tubes with presta valves. Brake Levers may be needed, as the stock levers may get in the way of the third-party shifter. Brake cables, in case you cannot insert the frayed old cables. ****Tools As for the tools, you need hex wrenches (allen keys) from 2-5mm. A cable cutter. Quick-link pliers. Better have a chain hook. A chain tool. Tire levers. 15mm spanner (wrench). Cassette sprocket remover. You can do it with or without a bike stand. For this time, I have decided not to use the stand.

As an owner of a now much former than 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton (now around 8,5 kilo and still with mudguards!) I have tried several versions of a new, metal tensioner, witch didn't fit or function (Search and you will find!), even one with two - bolt/axle holes to be selected, none of which fit anything on my bike! Till I found a similar size golden tensioner, to my original! And "metal guide wheels" are a nuisance, as they make noises, rubbing against the chain, so I still use the original, plastic wheels! But I have changed most loose parts to new from titanium, even the axle in front and look for a similar painted stem post, from titanium, to make it look original still. No reason to advertise "Expensive Parts", though also a standard Brompton is very/absurdly expensive. Finn. Denmark

Having managed to completely destroy my Sturmey Archer SRF3 hub on my Brompton clone, this video was a godsend. It's going to be expensive to do this conversion, but the performance and reliability improvements will make it worth it. I hope.

I'm not looking back to the previous setting of internal gear. It runs great. However, get brake levers without springs or with little resistance inside, as the brompton brake calipers' springs are strong.

The shifter looks like P/T line design. Didnt even know it is compatible with C line triangles. It looks really great, are the parts made of aluminium or titanium?
@superteamwheelsofficial5 ай бұрын
The Union Jack derailleur is for C Line. The SuperTeam hubs are made with Aluminum alloy.

Any know the pro and con of an internal sturmey archer hub vs an external derailleur?
@superteamwheelsofficial3 ай бұрын
Internal Sturmey: can change gears when bike is not moving. Difficult to maintain if problems arise. And gawd it's heavy! by 1 kg or so. External gear: just like a road bike, easy to clean and find parts. No need to stop pedaling when changing gears.

The mounting screw was so difficult to fit into the hole in the first place (blocked by the derailleur cage) And the guide pulley is not aligned with the cassette. And these problems are found by many users, not only me.

300g saved and durability lost. 3speed IGHs are quite bomb proof and in their drivetrain there are only minimal losses. If you are careful with deraileur and wash bike very often external conversion may pay the price. For utility bike I see no point.

Both systems tested for long enough now. Both have their pros and cons. But you're right, the internal hubs with the axle nuts are secure as hell. However, I'm still enjoying the conversion and won't look back. I will recommend stock settings for beginners, though, for less maintenance.
