Important:
When fitting the this new Brompton brake caliper you should also replace the brake cable and housing. Make sure the brake cable is marked as compatible with the 2018 brake caliper, your handlebar type (M, P, S or H) and braking orientation (standard RH front, or reverse LH front etc.). If you do not use the correct cable and housing you may have problems with the function of the brakes, or the folding function of the bike
If you are fitting this caliper to a Brompton bike/fork manufactured before the 2018 model year, you will need to enlarge the hole on the rear of the fork crown to accept the 8mm diameter barrell nut. Use an 8mm drill bit to enlarge the 6mm hole on the back of the fork crown. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE FRONT OF THE CROWN. Use a file to remove any sharp edges and then grease the unpainted surface in the hole. This hole should then be large enough to allow the barrel nut to pass through it. We recommend removing the fork from the bike to do this.
