Details

High quality Handbuilt Brompton fitting front wheel which is lighter, stronger and faster than the original, a fantastic upgrade for your Brompton.

The spec:

Our superlight front hub will fit Brompton front forks, it's 75grams lighter than the standard Brompton hub and has much lower rolling resistance.
This is a very high quality rim, with ABT (advance brake track) machined sidewall, with single eyelets. Overall width 22.4mm, inner well width 17mm. ERD - 340mm

Average Weight (without fittings): 505g
Average fittings weight: 25g
Total weight: 530g
Weight difference compared to stock front wheel (SJS part 3019): 105g Lighter!

Note: This wheel is not supplied with rim tape.

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

ConsNone

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.

unfortunately, we do not sell these skewers.

What are the torgue settings for the allen keyskewer

By Tony Rigby

08 Aug 2019

SJS Customer Service:

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?

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.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

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

Thanks.

Jtek Superlight Front Wheel

By Nicolas Haroune

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
Nicolas

SJS Customer Service:

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 Anonymous

Hi SLS,
What type/size rim tape do you recommend for the Jtek Brompton Super Light 16" front wheel?
Thanks and regards,
Tony

SJS Customer Service:

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
