One thing i'm a little skeptical about, is the use of skate wheels to replace the rollers. Is there a tendency for your heels to clash against those? I had a friend who did the same mod on his P-type brompton but often found his heels knocking into them....
My back heels clash against the stock roller wheels anyway so I've developed an inside out pedal stroke to compensate. There is a part that a Japanese bike site sells that will push the wheels further back so that won't be a problem. No one seems to carry here in the U.S., though.

Thanks to the OP for letting us know that the 100mm wheels will work. That will be my next Brommie mod. Great job!
