• the only real doubt in my mind at the moment is the 5 speed hub. It seems very sensitive to cable tension adjustments and while I've now managed to get all 5 gears I'm still not entirely happy with it.

    I fitted the same hub on a Moulton f-frame. Also had tension/gear selection issues. Spent ages trying to get it sorted, however after a little use I still couldn’t get the lowest gear and the others were skipping. The best I managed was 4 of the 5 gears. Not good enough.

    Personal opinion is that the modern Sturmey 5 speed is a bit shite. Converted the Moulton to a single speed (fine for where I am in London) and will either get a Sturmey S5/2 for more gears or another bike.

    Super Brompton btw.
