Alternatives to Brompton stock rollers/cones.

Not sure what to do about spacers as the rollers aren't compatible with them. I've got some 8mm tubing I use to space out mudguards at the chainstay bridge I may be able to fit in there.

The stock roller wheels have a small spacer in already which is an exact fit in a 608 bearing

Interesting. I measured that and it has an OD of - I'm at work and can't remember exactly - something like 9.5mm. I thought the 608 bearings needed a spacer OD of 8mm to fit? They'll be arriving in the next couple of days anyhow, so will soon find out.

Is there a good reason to favor wheels with o-rings over skate wheels? I understand that you might have first got such wheels by accident but maybe over time you developed some perspective

No real reason. I like the colour, i wish i could find a big cheap bag of the o rings rather than paying a couple of quid each for them.
