FWIW getting a identical rim makes re using spokes and even lacing pattern simple.. |
FWiW had bike , wanted to add lights, bought a Shimano-Brompton wheel, then a Schmidt new XS (Better)
So now have 2 wheels to part out, with single wall rims.... I added 2 speed geared crank doubling 3 to 6 over wider range.. https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...6e&oe=5CDD6E03 .... |

This is where I got very confused. I have a three speed Brompton, so no derailleur. Does it make sense to run that five speed wide range hub with just one sprocket, as a simple five speed, rather than a ten speed?
FWIW Mk3 bike had a Sachs supplied hub , their 3 by 2 speed 2 cog driver kept the AW 3 spline cog , in 3/32 thick and 13& 15t.. |

A: Schlumpf Swiss Mountain Drive 2 speed, [2.5 : 1 reduction] internal geared 54t & "21.6t"....
were it a 50t , the low range is effectively , an even 20t... .... |

You can ask at the company Website , they will tell you ..
( just bought a new built front wheel , (then they* changed the hub design) *Schmidt, Brompton rim , from straight pull radial https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/ima...wheels-800.jpg to a semi radial .. https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/ima...l_43140_50.jpg |

It's a Brompton restriction, it has nothing to do with the EU. They're protecting their dealers.
I take it switching to double walled rims will require new spokes? but as the double wall rims have higher profile, the is a good probability you can just change the lacing pattern(exqmple: from x1 to x2). it can fit |
