Brompton easy Wheels

[berlinonaut]

having swapped out the folding pedal for SPDs means you have to carry it much further out from your body which is far more tiring on the shoulder muscles.

So basically a typical case of creating a new problem when trying to enhance something on the Brompton - complexity strikes back.

But you could frame it positively:

you have to carry it much further out from your body which is far more tiring an excellent exercise on for the shoulder muscles. Very convenient and saves a visit at the gym.

I always found it far easier to unfold it and wheel it on its 16" wheels down a station platform

I've seen people doing that too, but I've found at Waterloo the queues for the 'wide gates' are unbearable whereas if I'm carrying it (up and ahead of my face) I go through the normal gates.
