Not a spokey doke and sort of loose. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19707#post-310189 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 19:38:02 +0000 Arellcat 310189@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bromptons come with a white cap that fits over the left-hand front wheel nut. Stops the axle scraping the frame when it's folded. I don't get the hook bit though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19707#post-310187 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 19:14:31 +0000 Cyclingmollie 310187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The plastic thing, could it be part of a broken reflector or spokey dokey? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19707#post-310171 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 15:30:58 +0000 gembo 310171@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A Brompton has recently come into my possession on loan. I was charged a very modest amount by The Cycle Service to get it working again and all is good. It does have a wee rattle I cannot figure out and I found a small piece of white plastic hanging from a spoke on the front wheel, like a very small bar end plug but with a kind of inverse of a hook (hook shaped but made of space) just beneath the bit that would be visible if it were a bar end plug, the lid if you like.</p> <p>Obviously a photo would make this too easy for Brommie people to identify. But all help much appreciated in helping me figure out where it goes. </p>
