Brompton BLACK two speed rear wheel - ex new bike
This is a two speed rear wheel that has been removed from a new bike, and is complete with rim tape and a two speed sprocket stack. It does not have the wheel fixings
It is the same wheel Brompton as used on 1 or 2 speed rear wheel for all models of Brompton folding bikes
The BLACK edition wheel is just like the standard single / two speed wheel but has black spokes, part of the rim (not the braking surface) and the hub painted black. It was originally developed for the limited edition BLACK edition bikes in 2015 and 2016.
In addition, you will need wheel nuts - they are not supplied - as you could potentially use the old ones if you are replacing the same wheel type. The wheel nuts for the single / two speed Brompton rear wheel have the code QRW2NB.
This wheel (hub) uses Shimano style splines for the sprockets - so with the correct spacers / chain length you could use different sprocket sizes if required, these wheels come fitted with two speed uses a 12T / 16T combination.
