Introducing the new BrommiePlus 5 speed wheelset! This wheelset features our new welded rims that are both lightweight and strong. (More information on this rim)
This 5 speed package is based on Sturmey Archer's S-RF5(W), that is not the same Sprinter hub used on earlier Bromptons. This 5 speed hub has a range of 256%, which is somewhat less than the BWR 3x2 setup, but more than sufficient for typical city riding. The greatest benefit of this hub is having all 5 gears accessible through a single shifter.
It is well known that Sturmy Archer S-RF5(W) gear hub is not the easiest to tune, due the small window for proper adjustment. This was also compounded by the fact that Sturmey Archer instructions do not apply to Brompton. In our package, we will include an adapted instruction for Brompton, but it will still require a good patience for initial adjustment.
If you currently has a 2- or 6- speed, you can opt for a 5x2 setup. Click here. The 5x2 setup uses the S-RF5(W) N version hub with a 9-spline driver that is not usually sold separately.
Package content:
- Front wheel, complete with rim tape and skewer
- Rear wheel, complete with rim tape
- Hub fitting kit (axle nuts, indicator chain, cable anchor, non-turn washers, circlip, guide nut)
- Sturmey Archer SLS50 thumb shifter
- Shifter fitting kit (Jagwire LEX SL cable housing, Teflon coated stainless steel cable, Jagwire end caps)
- Sprocket, per selected size
You will need to choose the size of sprocket to complete the package. Please refer to the gear ratio tables to help you choose.
This package is pre-built and ready to ship. If you would like different combination of rims, hubs, spokes, or nipples, we also offer custom built wheelsets through the wheelset configurator.
