Thanks for the info, I was having a bit of an excited 5 mins I think, the Brompton hub was a silly idea. Its not actually a hub gear but a little freehub body that can take two Shimano style sprockets. Its just neat it can fit in a track spaced frame.
Anyway first step is to improve the brake lever I have operating the v-brakes but long term I'm going to save up to get a disk on the front with bash guard. My current lever has a pivot in the mechanism to try and even out braking force which kinda defeats my bias loading.
I picked up an old unused 1/8th inch mallet head off ebay, also got my other old school mallet which is much longer but not capped. I may try and re-do my capped head on another ski pole too.
