BROMPTON
WHEEL - FRONT DYNAMO
$189.99
Whether you are planning an all-out round the world trip or you just want an ultra-light set up then we have the wheel for you. Using the ultra-low drag SP Dynamo hubs means you are not wasting valuable energy and a choice of Brompton or high grade Velocity rims. Both wheels are built using super strong Stainless-Steel spokes so it doesn't matter how much weight you put on the front, your wheel will stay true.
Each wheel is hand built to order by our mechanics with the option for Standard (SV-8/Brompton) for general city riding or the Super-Light (SV-9/Velocity) for those of you that travel lots or are just more weight conscious.

A BIT ABOUT BROMPTON: If you were to walk into the store and look at a Brompton we would say there are three things you should look for in a folding bike. All of them are fairly obvious. One, the bike should ride well - and, on a small wheeled bike that's tricky because there's a fine line between maneuverability (which is a virtue) and twitchiness (which is a vice). Two, the bike should fold well - otherwise you're blood pressure will rise and you'll curse the day you bought it. Third, it should be transportable, or highly storable - because that's the whole point, right?
Brompton is the only company we've seen that answers all three criteria - and believe us, we've tried every brand out there. The reason others can't compete is because Brompton has answered a fundamental engineering problem. If a bike is going to unfold to a large footprint (which takes the twitch out) then it is unfolding to a bigger bike - and by all logic, a bigger bike unfolded would be a bigger bike folded. So, it's pretty much true that for most folding bikes they either have great rideabilty but poor transportability or vice versa. And nearly all of them are a mess to fold.
Not Brompton. Brompton has designed the Platonic form of all folding bikes. The bike folds to the smallest size on the market, unfolds in a highly precise and easy manner, and has the same axle-to-axle footprint as a hybrid bike. How did they do this? By not only designing a clever frame, but also designing some 1200 proprietary parts that make everything fit - and fit perfectly. Oh, and nearly all of this is made in England. No wonder this bike has a cult following.
