Bugaboo Cameleon 1 and 3 Brake Handle Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide is created by five students of the TU Delft, Pieter, Mansour, Yvo, Suzanne and Rebecca, to make older models of Bugaboo strollers more repairable if spare parts are no longer available. The Bugaboo frames are very durable, and often outlive the period in which spare parts are available for order.

Parts that most often break were 3D-modeled, and the files were used to print new parts with a performance that is acceptable and safe according to Bugaboo requirements.

      • Pry the inside part out of the brake with a flat screwdriver.

      • Inside the brakes resides a spring. This can cause the part to fly out of the brake handle when the inner part is not clammed anymore.

      • Insert the inner piece of the brake handle into the replacement part. You have to align the small projection on the inner piece with the hole of the brake handle.

      • Use force until the inner piece is clamped into the brake handle.

Nice, it looks awesome, im also missing the small plastic part, the one used to lock the brake. Do you also have the STL for that?

Thanks
