Hi
I have a couple of questions on switching my Brompton Folding Bike silver/wheel set out for black rimmed versions.
1. The sets tend to come in pairs - front / back wheel.
As my Brompton is 6 standard gears, (2019 superlight model) , can i get away with purchasing a 3 gear hub set or do i need to purchase one which states 6 gear hub ?
I'm a bit confused as i thought the 6 standard gears runs off a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub.
My Brompton is a 2019 superlight
6 standard gears
h type
with mudguards / no luggage rack
I've found several options :
