Bikes: Brompton and Dahon Curve D3

That's worth looking into then. I was thinking of those kinds of wheels but wondering if they would give the elevation I'm looking for. I will check it out. I'm was very concerned that whatever I use will impede the ability to fold the bike properly. Since they work well on your bike I shouldn't be concerned then.
