Wheel technical specification

Double wall rim version of the wheel - the same as the standard front wheel introduced by Brompton at the beginning of 2013

From 2025 this is also the wheel used on the C Line 16 inch Brompton Electric

The rim is the straight drilled hole version (Q part code: QRIM-28-STD)

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)

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.

Cone nuts: Outer locknut requires a 15mm cone wrench (or spanner) / inner requires a 14mm cone wrench

The rim tape is yellow (previous to the 2013 and onwards model it was blue)
