About this product
This is a Sun Rims CR18 16-inch (349mm) aluminum rim, designed for mini velo bikes like Brompton and Moulton, featuring 36 spoke holes. It's compatible with clincher tires and uses a Schrader valve. The rim is black and measures 349mm in width. As 'NOS' (New Old Stock), it represents an original, unused component for bike building. It's suitable for various compatible bike types including folding, cargo, and single-speed bikes.
Our take
For someone looking to build or restore a 16-inch wheel for a Brompton or similar mini velo, this Sun Rims CR18 rim is a solid choice. The 36-hole count means it can be built into a very strong and durable wheel, which is excellent for load-bearing or rougher roads. Aluminum construction is reliable, and clincher tires are user-friendly. Being 'New Old Stock' is a double-edged sword; you get an original quality part, but it might lack modern features or finishes. The Schrader valve is convenient for most pumps. The black finish is classic and will blend with most bike aesthetics.
