I know people who had problems with the 2 speed system.
I don't know people who had problems with the S.A. 3 speed system.
I have the latter, bike is from 1992 and I suspect the rear wheel to be nearly as old as that. Got it second hand in 2007, never had to worry about it.It's heavier though, I'd go for a 2 speed if I was going for a new Brompton.

any idea what type of problems occurred with the 2 speed?*
*I'd also probably go for 2 speed if I were buying again (currently single speed and living at the top of a big hill!)

Thanks - confirming my personal views, 1 speed or three speed. Not at all convinced by the kludged up derailleur set up on the 2 and 6 speed.

Don't they still stamp the date on SA hubs?

Considering a Brompton. What does everyone think of the various hub options in terms of durability?
