So, I'm piloting my Brompton through the stop-start slalom of Southwark St and I note the right pedal is making a physical clunk when I give it some mash. It's quite annoying and definitely the pedal. Easing off relieves all symptoms. On investigation, the pedal wobbles around the axle in a way that doesn't look entirely intentional (there's a good couple of millimetre of play). Indeed, with a bit manhandling, the clunk can be demonstrated.
There appears to be an entirely inaccessible and recessed bolt on the other end of the axle, which I assume suggests a replacement is in order? Like most Brompton parts, the pedal seems to be part cheese plastic. They're only about £9 but it's the principle.
I shouldn't gripe, it's about three years old and it's the first part to fail. In other news, can anyone recommend a good place in SE1 for getting a Brompton serviced? It does a good 100 km a week these days. Come to think of it, I probably need a service too, I'm doing all the hard bloody work. Move to the North Downs, they say, it'll be lovely.
