?? probably a slight misunderstanding here: but you mentioned that "the chain tensioner" (that's a rear mech) needs modifying for the SA-hub mod:

When I said:" No, the 2spd dérailleur can be used without modification, I meant instead of the (rear) chain-tensioner. Anyway that's details.

If you look for drops on a folder, search for Little Pixels threads where he shows more of his mod to his brommi, he has also installed a chop & flop bar. Another idea if you can bear more clamps and folding steps: the carryme uses a bar where the 22mm sides are clamped into a standard middle part and can be released. Search in the Official Carryme thread, I have posted a pic with detachable drops there.
