Bromptonpackers: 5-spd wheel build and loads of bits

Post by TheBrownDog »

This is on eBay but I know there is a gentle core of Bromptonites amongst the Boners, so thought I'd chuck it up here.

It's a brand new otta the box 5-spd Sturmey Archer hub on a slightly scuffed Brompton rim. Plus loads of bits and pieces.

As the eBay add says, it was a lock down project that I never finished and, in the meantime, I sold my Brommie. Yes, I am an idiot.

Now, I don't build a lot of wheels but I was quite proud of this one. Little wheels are really tough. They are so tight, one mis-turn of the spoke key and it all goes all wobbly. So it isn't perfect, but it's round enough to ride and not notice.

And, also, as the ad says, there are loads of bits and bobs in the job lot, but I can't tell ya if it will fit your Brommie and will not countenance any correspondence if you can't make it work. You buy it. It don't work. Your problem. Fair enough?

I'll remove the eBay add for £120 for a fellow Boner and Feed The Bear with a tenner if it's sold here to one of the Righteous.
