Are you using 4 wheels on the rack, or just two? I found moving to four Joseph Kousac wheels (larger and better rolling than the standard Brompton ones) made a huge difference vs just using two and made it both more stable and less likely to catch.
It isnt perfect, still catches sometimes if doorframes/broken pavement tiles but I’ve not particularly noticed it on the tactile pavement at stations or similar since making the change
C4r1s-
It's the H+H rack, so only has wheels at the rear (the upgraded Brompton Ezy wheels), and I have a rear light mounted to the plate provided (B+M top light mini). The tip of the light catches on the tactile dots and it's pretty smashed by now.

I had an H&H rack fitted by @sbbohr but am finding that it's getting caught by things on the ground (especially those tactile dots used at crossing and train platforms). Anyone else having/had this issue and if so, did you find a sensible fix?
Larger easy wheels seem like they'd work, but I can't find many with a much larger diameter, and those that I do find are ridiculously expensive.
