Average Weight (without fittings): 505g

Solid Wheel

I recommend this product
ConsTyre fitting difficult.
ProsStraight and true. A very good wheel.
Well-built wheel. It's lighter than the stock Brompton front wheel, has a nice wide brake track, the hub is smooth rolling and the allen key fitting is easy to use.

The only negative is that the CR18 rim has a shallow inner well and this makes tyre fitting much more challenging than the stock double-walled Brompton rim.
Superb alternative

Proslight, well made
Superbly made wheel, only slightly heavier than the Brompton extra light (the weight of four pound coins) performs at least as well as the Brompton wheels.

Hi,

unfortunately, we do not sell these skewers.
What are the torgue settings for the allen keyskewer
By
08 Aug 2019
Hi, there are no specified torque values for the skewer. It should be done up tight with a standard length allen key (not extended) in the same way you might tighten a nutted axle. Thanks 09/08/19
Anyone tried these tubeless with Kojaks?
By

Just wondering about a few gram saving (although perhaps not with sealant), for a couple less punctures and have heard of people doing this with Brommies in the past.
Hi there,

We have never done this here and as far as we are aware no one has ever tried this im afraid.

Thanks.

Good morning,
just wanted to double check before placing the order, that this wheel/hub will match the space between my front fork dropouts which measure 710/712mm (space when the wheel is fitted and tightened) ?
In addition, when fitting the hub allen bolts, I presume we need to keep the washers in between the allen bolt and the dropout?
The washers I am referring to can be seen in this photo:

Many thanks

Hi, the wheel has exactly the same spacing as the Brompton version & yes you will need to keep the washers in between the allen bolt & drop out. Regards
Jtek Brompton Super Light 16" Front Wheel Rim Tape?
By
29 Jun 2015
Hi SLS,
What type/size rim tape do you recommend for the Jtek Brompton Super Light 16" front wheel?
Thanks and regards,
Tony
You can use either of the Brompton rim tapes (our part numbers 31192 or 31247). The 18mm is easier to keep straight, the 12mm is easier for tyre changes. Thanks Adrian
