About this product
This lightweight aluminum wheelset is designed for 16-inch (349) folding bikes like the Brompton, featuring rim brake compatibility. It comes in a black finish with a 20/24 spoke count and is set up for tubeless tires. The package includes hubs, a bottom bracket, and a cassette/freewheel, offering a comprehensive upgrade solution. It's a versatile choice compatible with a wide range of bike types and boasts a substantial 3-year manufacturer warranty, emphasizing its quality and durability.
Our take
For a significant upgrade to a Brompton or similar 16-inch folding bike, this aluminum wheelset appears to be a solid choice. The tubeless tire compatibility is a big plus for performance and puncture resistance, and the inclusion of a bottom bracket and cassette/freewheel makes it a very complete package. The 3-year warranty is impressive for an unbranded item, suggesting confidence in its manufacturing. However, despite the title, the specs actually state 'Disc Brake' type, which contradicts the 'Rim Brake' in the title and could be confusing. If it truly is disc brake, ensure your frame is compatible. The 'J bent' spokes are a traditional, reliable choice.
