Brompton Front wheel - silver - standard
This is a standard (as opposed to extra / super light) Brompton front wheel
This 16 inch front wheel manufactured by Brompton for their 16-inch wheel size folding bike range comes complete with the following:
- Wheel nuts
- Washers
- Tab washers
- Rim tape (yellow for the double wall rim)
- Fitting instructions (may or may not be included)
This is the double wall rim version of the wheel - introduced by Brompton at the beginning of 2013 - but it is compatible with older 16-inch wheel size Brompton bikes as well as the A Line and C Line
The Brompton front wheel size is 16 inches but if you are looking for a tyre then you should go by the ISO/ETRTO size of 37-349 (although really that's the default tyre size - the wheel takes tyres with a diameter 349mm - the Marathon Racer for example is 35-349)
The rim was originally the straight drilled hole version (Q part code: QRIM-28-STD) but is now supplied with the angled 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 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
We are often asked why we dont rebuild these wheels when they wear out (rim wear will depend upon riding style / cleanliness / brake pads / weather) - its because by the time a rim (sometimes spokes) and labour are added up - it's cheaper to get a new wheel!
Cone nuts: Outer locknut requires a 15mm cone wrench (or spanner) / inner requires a 14mm cone wrench
Rim: Brompton double wall angle drilled wheel rim 28 hole (Q100036)
Before 2026 the rim used was QRIM-28-STD - Standard / straight drilled 28 hole double wall rim (introduced in 2013) this standard wall rim has been discontinued
Spokes:
For the old single wall rim: QSPOK-148-PG-14G
For the newer (2013 onwards) double wall rim: The QSPOK-145-PG-14G (Q101697) 145mm spokes should be used
