Phil Wood Pro-Radial28
Front Wheel for Brompton Bikes

These rims are setup for presta valve tubes. If you are intending to use your existing tube from a stock Brompton, choose Schrader Valve as your valve type and we will set up the rim for schrader valve tubes.
The Phil Wood Hub comes with axle bolts, but not with Brompton washers. You can swap the washers from your current wheel, or choose axle washers from option AXLE WASHERS.
If you have a double walled Brompton rim on your current bike, then the rim strip from that wheel can be used on your Pro Wheel, though we recommend cloth tape. If you choose cloth tape as your RIM STRIP option, we will instal it on the wheel for free.
The Velocity Dyad is slightly more "V" shaped and slightly wider rim than the stock Brompton rim, though you have to study a bike pretty closely to actually notice that the rims are different. While we are happy to build you a (or rebuild your existing) rear wheel with a Velocity Rim, it is not necessary from an aesthetic point of view.
Installing a Pro wheel on any Brompton will require a slight brake adjustment (usually this is simply loosening the brake a bit due to the rim width).
