Never tried any 5 speed hub at the time this thread was created. But last year; BFold of New York City was
nice enough to let me take their Chedech on a long test ride. It has a Sturmey Archer 5 speed IGH w/ trigger
shifters. Shifting is more straight forward than Brompton's left/right switches. Also the shifts were smooth
and precise:
