Front wheel & fittings - standard & extra light 16"

Brompton extra light 16 inch front wheel

This replacement Brompton front wheel has a hollow axle and is secured using an Allen / Hex bolt (included). The wheel weighs in (according to our scales) at 535g, giving you a saving of 115g over the standard Brompton wheel - perfect for those wanting to lose a bit of weight.

Rim tape and axle fittings are also included.

This wheel fits all Bromptons (except for the electric) 

Brompton Front wheel - standard

Double wall rim version of the wheel - introduced by Brompton at the beginning of 2013. The rim is the straight drilled hole version (Q part code: QRIM-28-STD). The rim tape is now yellow (previous to the 2013 and onwards model it was blue)

The Brompton front wheel size is 16 x 1 3/8 - ISO/ETRTO 37-349 (although really that's the default tyre size - the wheel takes tyres with a diameter 349mm)

This 16 inch front wheel manufactured by Brompton for their folding bike range comes complete with the following:

• Wheel nuts

• Washers

• Tab washers

• Rim tape (yellow for the double wall rim)

• Fitting instructions.

The Brompton front wheel is radially laced - meaning that the spokes come out from the hub to the rim without criss-crossing any other spokes. This gives a nice clean look.
