Product Information
Full details
The Brompton Advance Roller Wheels are designed for urban commuters and folding bike owners who need a more efficient way to transport their bike while folded. Providing superior mobility through their 66mm diameter design, these wheels make navigating train stations and office hallways significantly easier. While they offer a major upgrade in rolling performance compared to standard versions, potential buyers should note that installation requires a 5mm hex key and careful placement of the included spacers to ensure a smooth fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your Advance Roller Wheels, you will need a 5mm hex key. Begin by removing your existing roller wheels or Eazy Wheels, keeping track of the orientation of the mounting hardware. When installing the new wheels, ensure the provided spacers are placed exactly as indicated to prevent wheel rub against the frame. Periodically check that the bolt remains tight, as vibrations from city streets can cause minor loosening over time. To maintain the wheels, wipe them clean with a damp cloth after riding in wet conditions to prevent grit buildup in the axle, and inspect the outer diameter for excessive wear every six months of heavy use.
