To get it fitted by a Brompton dealer would take me probably 3 days and nearly a couple of hundred pounds in travel and accomodation cost. Yes I could parcel it up and entrust it to some carrier who cannot deliver items to me even when I am at home. Brompton sent me a new bearing set. The local LBS in Oban fitted it for a very reasonable cost at my convenience. I also bought one or two other bits when I was in the shop. All happy but without an LBS where would we be ?
Personally I'd have just fitted in once I received it.
Do you have all the tools for that?
Also, the LBS would do it for free (asking the money back from the manufacturer), so why bother taking the toolbox out?
