Has anyone else had problems with Brompton easy wheels from AliExpress?
I recently bought four easy wheels there. After installing them and using them just once, the rubber started separating from the wheel.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Happened to me too from weeks of rolling it over the blind bumps in Japanese train stations. They’re very cheaply me. Look at scooter / rollerblade wheels instead that are all rubber
Yes, it’s aliexpress. I would try rollerblade wheels, best ones I ever had on my brompton
very normal.
Is <product> off Aliexpress shit quality?
Yes
True for everything there.
I regret to inform you that the official [Brompton Advance Roller wheels](https://us.brompton.com/p/693/advance-roller-wheel-pair) are not much better.
So far the [Easy Wheels](https://us.brompton.com/p/684/eazy-wheel-rollers-with-fittings-6mm-holes) have held up the best for me.
Yeah a lot of these wheels designed with the thin tyres have this issue. And Brompton’s advanced roller wheels aren’t much better which crack after about a year. The Brompton Easy wheels are better since the rubber tyre material is thicker. I just ended up making my own (which I sell [here](https://velocityprintworks.myshopify.com/products/ultralight-brompton-easy-roller-wheels?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web)).
