Whilst giving the Brompton a bit of spit and polish this afternoon,I
noticed the rear wheel appeared out of true rapidly followed by the
realisation that there was a broken spoke on the non-drive side at the
hub end.
A feel around the other spokes showed that some others were loose and
two others just about snapped in my hand inside the nipple.
The bike is only about 18 months old and has in no way been abused or
used off road or the like.
Is this an Achilles heel of Bromptons or am I just unlucky?
Meanwhile it's off to the LBS in the morning for what I imagine is a
wheel rebuild.
