Hi,
I'm thinking of fitting a Nano motor kit to a Brompton and was just wondering about the modification that needs to be done to the forks. The electric wheel co website mentions that as well as widening the forks, the fork cutout needs to be widened and lengthened by about 2mm.
The FAQ on the website also says that the whole process is reversible - i.e. a Nano Brompton can be restored to a normal Brompton.
I'm sure the fork would simply pull back together again but with widened and lengthened cutouts, would this adversely affect the fitting of a normal wheel? e.g. would it be more difficult to make the wheel run true if the wheel doesn't fit as snug in the cutouts? Anyone tried it?
Thanks
