Overall Product Rating 5 / 5

So rewarding to fit...but so glad I'd bought appropriate tools

I recommend this product

ConsNot totally straightforward, and a special tool needed to ream accurately.

ProsGood as new and very satisfying

Transformational and so satisfying. Two tools that made the difference. A 5/32 hex bit with a square drive so that I could use the ratchet lever from my socket set to undo the screws . So much easier than drilling. And an 'adjustable piloted reamer' from 'drill service'. With care and patience working out how to use the beautiful tool properly, it did a perfect perfect job. Not cheap at £40, but better than getting it wrong (part RHANDEXP-5AP 21/64-3/8 Piloted Adjustable Hand Rmr)

Prompt Delivery !

Do I buy the Brompton reaming kit plus a titanium spindle?

By Graeme Sandell

22 May 2020

Hi, I’m planning to get my 15 year old broom powder coated so will need to fully dismantle. I assume that to detach and then refit the rear triangle (titanium on my Brompy) I’ll need to buy the reaming kit plus a titanium spindle. Is that right? And will I need any other specialist tools (I have a good general cycling toolkit) to fully dismantle?

Thanks

Graeme

You can do this in a few ways;

The quickest is to use a small blowtorch to heat the bolt for 10-15 seconds, it will then simply unscrew. Pop a 5mm allen key in that hole, anchor it downward holding the spindle in place and repeat on the other side. You will need to remove the bushings using a tap; screw into the bush, then tap it out from the other side with the old spindle. Repeat for the other side.

When rebuilding, simply use a small hammer to tap the bushing into the frame on either side - you will hear / see when its fully home; take care, do not belt it and ensure its straight. You then ream to the correct size, fit the new spindle and screws - with blue/medium loctite.

The spindle fitted is steel, if you want titanium you need the kit and the new ti spindle.
