Product Information
Full details
The Brompton Advance Roller Rack is designed for urban commuters who frequently transport their folding bike across train stations, offices, or busy public spaces. By adding this rack, your bike transforms into a stable, rolling unit similar to a piece of wheeled luggage, drastically reducing the effort needed to move it while folded. While it provides excellent portability and storage, it is important to note that it requires specific Brompton frame compatibility and basic technical assembly skills to install properly.
