The go rack is not a rack, but the brompton rolls significantly better, is more stable, and more maneuverable.
I have also just recently finished designing a 3d-printed luggage wheel mount for my new G-line. I’ll post more soon but the gist of it is that I removed one wheel and installed my adapter and its great. Huge improvement over the stock experience as it wasn’t even near stable when I bought it. I would imagine if you have a normal brompton with a built-in rack something similar could be done.

People have fitted castors instead of roller wheels, but they are noisy, as they tend to rattle a lot while you’re cycling along. Another solution is Omniwheels, which have s ring of lateral rollers instead of rubber tyres. Omniwheels are noisy when you push the bike along folded.

with the wheels swiveling there will be balance issues.

I sure saw something like that in a chinese shopping app. I think it’s Taobao. It’s a rack and wheels set for brompton. I’ll try to find it if I can.

Sort of- check these out. Omni wheels. It’s what I have and it allows pretty good side to side and back and forth movement:

So I highly recommend the Go Rack: [https://gorack.com](https://gorack.com)
