Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Enhance Your Brompton Folding Bike with 3SIXTY 2pcs Easywheel & Bolts by Dino Kiddo by Jeff Hill

Quality replacement for worn out Brompton Easy Wheels

I have an M3R Brompton which I use for commuting. I need to get to the train station (1.5 miles), catch a train into town and then drive 4 miles to work. I unfold it several times a day (from home, to the train, from the train, to work, from work, to the train, from the train, home). I also have to roll my bike (folded) down a long block every day and then walk down the escalator from the train platform onto the street. After 3 years, the lightweight wheels looked like garbage (see first photo). These are attractive wheels that look better than the original lightweight Brompton wheels. They are also lighter. NOW my bike rolls great when fully folded. The wheels are slightly boxy compared to the rounder profile of the lightweight wheels. That little extra property really makes a difference. I also like that the wheels are now fully aligned. I bought 2 pairs plus an extension so you can see all 4 wheels in the photos afterwards. They were easy to change out with my Park Tools MTB-3 rescue tool, which has both hex and box wrenches. A box wrench is very handy to hold the nut when you unscrew (and then install) the wheels. Tip: Both Aceoffix and Brompton Easy Wheels have some side play. This can be secured by adding washers to the mounting bolt. The wheels don't come with washers, so you'll need to buy them separately or find them in the garage. I used one inside and one outside the Aceoffiix wheels to keep them from wobbling at all. Another tip: Do not tighten too much, otherwise you will block the freewheeling game. This also applies to lightweight Brompton wheels.
