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?

Cheers!

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?
