Cheaper Brompton Rear Rack Options?
I've noticed that the fender mini-wheel on my wife's M6L doesn't exactly roll very well when it's folded.
So, I've been looking for a cheaper rear rack. While it'd be nice to go with the standard Brompton rack, I can't justify it for our use. She won't be putting any weight on the rack asides from the bike rolling around while folded or standing while folded.
We have the standard rollers, and plan to upgrade to a set of eazy wheels when we buy the rack.
Any feedback on some cheaper racks for folded stability?
I've seen some decently priced racks($50 or under) on ebay and AliExpress that seem to be copies of the H&H Mini rack.

Looks like that rack is $60, not $20, but still within my price range. Is there a go-to reputable website/shop to pickup a genuine H&H rack from the US? fantastic4toys.com seems like they sell the H&H rack, but not sure about the reputation of that website. I know Perennial cycles and universal cycles are the go-to, but they don't have any cheaper racks in stock.

You need to go to You Tube and then Chris by Bike and then search Rear Rack and you'll get the full information. Click on "Show More" below the description and look for the rack and you'll find:

Please report how the rack works for you, once it comes in. The Ace products tend to be of low quality, but this does not mean that any particular will miss specific expectations.
