Hubsmith is the most well-known aftermarket supplier of Brompton hubs. The rolling quality of its front and rear hubs are head and shoulder above the original equipment. Following the success of its hub business, Hubsmith has now released a pre-build wheelset for Brompton based on a special version of its renowned hubs. This second generation A349 wheelset comes with updated rims and hubs.
The Hubsmith A349 wheelsets are now available in two versions – a convention 2 speed version, and a 3/4 speed version. The two wheelsets feature different hubs and spokes, as well as different free hub bodies.
This “3/4 speed version” is equipped with a free hub body that can accommodate up to 3 cogs with the factory dust cover installed, or 4 cogs without the dust cover. In order to utilize 3/4 speed, a cog set, and a modified or aftermarket 3/4 speed shifter are required.
3 speed cog sets are available
here. For 4 speed, please select a 3 speed cog set and an additional large cog.
If you like this wheelset but prefer the factory style 2 speed free hub body, we can install it for you free of charge.
