The wheel is from https://www.swytchbike.com. This one is my second. The other is a 700c on my wife’s Raleigh mixte though I had it one one of my commuters all last winter. Installation is quite straightforward.
That actually doesn't look like a turtle shell on a frog! You may be giving me ideas...

It's a bit strange, having gone entirely from conventional front hubs, leaning heavily towards dynamo hubs for the "never needs batteries" aspect, and now considering the complete opposite!
