Hi
I'd like any product links or advice on converting a brompton to a twist gear lever handle system.
I'm okay on cable lengths - i just need to make sure i understand twist gear handles and any other issues people know about.
I'm converting a brompton 6 speed standard hub gear mechanism as it's supplied.
Is it as simple as purchasing a 2 speed left handle twist gear mechanism and
a 3 speed right handle twist gear mechanism and then wiring the cables in through the wire plastic protection
and down into the derailleur mechanisms ? Is that the basic logic i need to apply ?
OR
Can i achieve the 6 gears in a twist handle by a more simpler method ? Ideally i'd just like to attach the existing
wires into the handles rather than the supplied handle wires onto the bike.
Lots of people have strong feelings about brommie gear/brake mods. I'm just interested in support to achieve my project.
Thanks everyone - time and attention appreciated.
