Tallsam, you mention recall of radially laced front wheel - I can find no reference to this anywhere. I concern, as that is what I have on my Nov 2014 cycle to work machine.
Can you elaborate pls?Hello everybody, BTW. I have a S2LU Ti in black with £ot$ worth of Brompification applied last Xmas. ~9.5kg if my cheapo spring balance is anything to go by. It doesn't look anywhere as attractive as one or two seen on here. But low-key was always my objective...
ETA It is quiet at work - I've just enjoyed reading 6 year's worth of Brompton posts :)

Hey Brompton guys,
I've got a problem with my front wheel. Its the cartridge bearing superlight wheel (not the radially laced one which was recalled mind you!). I've not ridden the bike for ages and got it out tonight. I noticed there was a tiny bit of play in the front wheel. Its lateral movement only (between the fork ends).
I've removed the wheel and I can feel the axle play. Removed the axle end caps and one of the cartridges just fell out. I pushed the other one out with little to no effort.
Had a look and nothing seems damaged or wrong. Put back together but I can't seem to eliminate the play. The RHS of the axle doesn't seem to push through the bearing (and end cap) as much as the LHS.I'm not next to the bike right now but I'm sure I tried it both ways with both different end caps (from memory the Red is the left? or at least it was on this bike and I've not stripped the hub before - owned from new).
