Brompton Eazy Wheel set (L version - NO rear rack)

Eazy wheels are larger in diameter than the standard Brompton rollers, have rubber tyres (a bit like inline skates) and are fitted with sealed ball bearings and allow the bicycle to be rolled along easily when fully or partly folded.

The bicycle can be rolled using the raised handlebar as a handle (there is no need to clamp it), or else by pushing on the raised saddle. (Note that with the saddle raised, the part folded bike will come undone if lifted off the ground).

This is the 2 wheel eazy wheel set

Note: Eazy wheels were designed for use on Brompton bikes fitted with a rear rack. If you choose to fit the forward Eazy wheels on a bike without a rack, it does help rolling the bike - but not as well as on a bike fitted with a rack.

Why Eazy wheels and not easy wheels - anyone know?

Brompton part number: QEZWSET-NR
