when all still calculating for brompton or brompton wannabe, i do rode what i haved. 😁

but i didnt own any B's yet..hahahaha

Since you have a p24 and running a 44t front plus a 32t rear, no wonder you are not missing the lower gears that others may be chasing for their foldies. Im running a 54t front on my Sram dual-drive and it is still low.

What's wrong with the IHG design? How else can the cable be located when the movement of the hub is horizontal? As it is, the cable or chain is already pulling at 90 degrees. Half-hearted? Lol

52T/36T rear is also an mtb setup right? Double it with 36T chain ring, you get another 4 gear inches lower. That's why I opted for a single chain ring to simplify the set up. No front double chain ring is less work and maintenance. No extra cables to change later, no adjustments and a whole lot lighter and cheaper as well. No doubt though, the shifting won't be as crisp as a road bike setup. So far, for a foldie, the widest gear range are the KHS. They are triple chain ring and they are original but the whole setup becomes heavy. they have 27 speed and later a limited 30 speed models. Initially they were sold for over four thousand bucks and then slowly after changing distributors twice, it went down to almost 3K. I modded my Dahon Speed after them but nowadays, it is very, very, very hard to find triple road bike cranks.    Even if you find them, they are mostly Octalinks, I think that was the last of the triples manufactured by Shimano. The trend was shifting to double with bigger rear cogs and now even less chain ring and even bigger rear cogs.

The SRAM IGH dual drive with the 8 speed setup will give a range from 19 gear inches to almost 100 gear inches. That's why it was shodded on the Dahon Speed TR as a tourer. I don't think it was half hearted, it was meant to be that way. The Dahon MU also have a model with the same setup but it was not popular. Many other bikes in the west uses the same setup. Just that the LBS here don't really like to push them. The older generation LBS says 'mafan' while the newer generation don't really like un-conventional gear systems. Takes too much of their time, they say, " How much can I charge? " they always complain. That's why there's only a handful that do modifications. Modifications takes a lot of effort and time.
