Tired of the little plastic wheels that come with your Brompton? here is an easy way to upgrade them and reuse some old skateboard parts as well.
NOTE, the original Brompton rollers are designed to fail before damaging the rear frame. Skateboard wheels are much stronger and could potentially transmit more load into the frame when the bike is folded. I would not recommend having them on the bike when shipping the bike or parking/rolling it with a lot of weight on it.
FAQ
Q: Are these wider than the stock wheels?
A: They are wider, if you run the stock Brompton pedals and/or are duck-footed it might not work for you.
Q: Will this work with any skateboard wheels?
A: I have done it with a few different wheels and they have all worked with no issues. There are a lot of different wheels out there though so if one does not work, let me know.
