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?

There's a post with photos of a Brompton with skate wheels, I think that the bearings were changed too...

Maybe this will help

You can roll the bike without fenders. Although I typically leaned the bike back by the saddle to do so.

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

Cool, thanks. The cheap skate idea seems great. I will look into it.

Great. I was hoping I didn't have to put fenders on it to get it to roll. :thumb:

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.
