Brompton Rolling Wheels Advice
I currently have the stock plastic rolling wheels on the bike and no fenders. I want to upgrade them so I can roll the bike when folded. So I was wondering if I would be able to roll the bike with the new rolling wheels? Or will the tire drag since I don't use the fender system?

If you look around there is a video on youtube showing off the Brompton rolling. At work right now and can't search.

This is a really easy mod that works much better than the factory wheels. Sometimes heel strike might be an issue.

I hate heal strike! It happens with the stock ones. I saw in my folding mag an offset part that puts the wheels further in.
