I have just bought a P6R, and to tell the truth, I bought a lot of brompton stock spare, which costs me almost half the price of Brompton, that is because it's quite difficult to source brompton compatible spares since no Brompton dealer here.
Like cityjim, I found the derailleur and brake really both old fashioned and inefficient, and want them replaced. But after google, I have found little information. Could experienced Brompton 'mod'er elaborate on the gear shifting and brake system?

Hey realyuy - check out Sturmey Archers own website.
I have not made my mind up but they have thumb and grip shifters. With the two shifters you have it will be a bit more complex but they do have three gear thumb and grip shifters. Was hoping someone on here could review them... ?
Anyone? New Sturmey Archer three speed shifters? Any thoughts? Have you got one?
