Hello, I have a problem with my C line 6 speed Brompton when I want to roll it. The wheel sometimes touch the ground and the spokes are hitting against the gear hub chain. My bike is equipped with the rear rack and I already tried to reverse the handlebar catch that only made it worse. I don't know what to do as I don't have any more idea. It seems that the wheel goes too far against the other one.

Yes that’s normal and a sacrifice for a narrow fold. Best is to not let the front wheel drag when rolling. I use the larger diameter EZ wheels, and also an axle extender (MiniMods X-Roller) which really makes the roll-while-folded experience much better.
Stock with rack, that front wheel still hangs outside the wheel track making it unbalanced and tippy, especially if you have a significant bag mounted on the luggage block.
