Hi,
I've got my MERC in my home, it's look very good, but i've got a little problem.
The chain is out of the tooth wheel ?
How can i put it into the tooth wheel ?
It's easy,
I want to ride with my bike now !!
Thanks

Great that you got one. Where did you buy it? Did you order it from Anita? If you did you will find you get good after sales service.

This picture shows how the chain should go on the rear cogs.



How it goes back on will depend on what toothed wheel you mean GFR. Are you talking about the main cog on the rear hub, or about the small wheels on the chain tensioner? You might also mean the large chainwheel where the pedals are.

You should by using my photo above be able to see how to arrange the chain. Put on some plastic gloves and take the chain in your hands and arrange it as shown in the photo.

It should be quite easy.

Let me know how things work out.

Hi EvilV, i bought it to Anita.
I need to put the chain in the chainwheel (where the pedals are).
How can i do it ?

Maximum height measured from top front of saddle to top of pedal at lowest point in stroke is 81 cm. That's the standard as supplied on my model which I've had for 18months. You could email Anita about other options she might have.

Turn the bike upside down so that it is resting on its handlebars and on the saddle.

Then take the upper run of chain ( as it is now) in your hands and pull against the spring of the chain tensioner. This will give you some slack chain. Put the chain onto the front toothed wheel (the chainwheel). It will be trying to escape backwards because of the spring.

When you have about half of it on the teeth, if you are on the same side as the chain, gently turn the pedals clockwise so that it moves all the way onto the chainwheel. Once it is on, you should be able to smoothly turn the pedals in either direction and it should stay on.

Check the picture I posted above to see that the rear of the chain is running properly on all the cogs.

When you turn it in one direction, the rear wheel will spin.

Get back to me if you have more problems.

Enjoy your riding.

Interesting to see that the Flamingo London NX7 has gone up 50%+- in 6-7 years? How about the retail prices of Brompton etc? And is this due to...

1. foreign currency fluctuations?
2. inflation?
3. higher labour costs?
4. Tariffs?

My wages haven't gone up 50% in the same period.

Welcome to the world of capitalism . thats the way the game is run , for the benefit of the not little guy.

you need to get someone else to exploit .

5. Because they can.

By the way, EvilV's frame cracked, so did littlepixel's. Perhaps others also that I don't recall just now. Just saying.
