Oh I really dont fancy that!!
These things are like swiss watchers!!
But thanks for left of centre idea.
I think 10 speed with two clicks would be perfectly adequate. there is a redundant click in the dual drive using Brifters. This is a feature of brifters to clear the chain on extreme chain lines when using a front mech, this is no issue at all in usage.
I need to find out if the indexing is otherwise compatable??
Wish Bromptons were 135mm rear axle.
I would just use a spare dual drive hub I got for next to nothing.
My 5 speed hub is slipping sometimes in secound, think it might be the adjustment rather than the hub? So I might consider the 8 Speed SA conversion kit.
Anyone know about long term reliability of this hub?
