Brompton front axle hook
OK - so you want to save weight / just drop the front mudguard for the summer?
The problem is that without a mudguard, there will be no hook to keep the front wheel securely against the frame when folded, as the hook is part of the mudguard stay
That is where this alternative hook comes in - it's used on E-type Bromptons
Note: E type is a Brompton with no mudguards fitted (although specifically the front mudguard for this part)
The hook doesn't come with wheel nuts / washers - you will need to use your existing ones
