A premium handbuilt 27.5" front wheel combining a dynamo hub with integrated drum braking — an ideal solution for touring, cargo, and utility bikes requiring generator lighting and cable-actuated front braking without a disc or rim caliper. Finished with black Mach 1 spokes for a stealthy, all-black aesthetic.

  • Integrated dynamo generator — powers lights without batteries
  • Integrated drum brake — reliable all-weather front braking with no rim wear
  • Alex DM18 double-wall eyeletted rim for added spoke tension retention
  • Sealed Sturmey-Archer hub for reduced maintenance
  • 100mm nutted axle suits standard touring and city bike forks

The Sturmey-Archer sealed dynamo drum brake hub generates electricity for front and rear lighting while simultaneously providing clean drum braking — both functions in a single front hub. The double-wall eyeletted Alex DM18 rim and 36-hole lacing ensure this wheel handles the demands of loaded touring or daily commuting. Black spokes give this build a cleaner, more uniform appearance compared to the silver variant.

Compatible with 27.5" / 650B forks with 100mm axle spacing and nutted dropout slots. Requires a drum brake arm anchor for lever actuation (not included). Dynamo output compatible with standard 6V / 3W LED lighting systems.
