Yes I know about the 8 speed. "Stomatash" a Brompton expert started the awareness of this option about 4 years ago on this site, at least to me.
Can,t see myself spending £300 on a conversion kit, espically when I here problems with it slipping in some gears.
Many people had this problem ??
I know "Jur" and stomatash have reported it.
Can I run a SA8 hub from a brifter??
there are plenty of 8 speed on ebay, ( and a few 7 speeds if I want drops on my sash dual drive on the gold MEzzo)
Maybe there is hope for me to get the bike set up I prefer out of a brompton after all !!!!! ( the dark side is calling , snauf where are you, Actually snafu where are you???? )
