Partner complains of loose Brompton headset.
It seems to measure 36mm.
Will a standard 36mm headset spanner do?
Can anybody lend one to us or should I order one??

The cups may have worked loose in the frame (ovalised the head tube), in which case Loctite or epoxy are the only options.  They can do this after a high mileage.

That's a thought but high milage is not an issue. I don't think it's exceeded 20 miles per week evah (almost). but we have had it 6 years.
