What I remember was that the pull was not linear. I was converting my 6-speed Brompton to 9-speed and wanted matching shifters. I settled on an S-R on one side and an S-A on the other.

Don't get your fingers tied in a knot. Not every comment is a criticism. I was just surprised to find this out. The BWR was one of the few hubs that I actually measured the pull.

Cool then. I have experimented in shopping cart mode with my Brompton. That also uses M6 bolts, and your configuration would likely not work on it. If it works for you, then cool. It will provide...

Trigo does look good, but the angle may not suit the Birdy stem for larger bags. With Litepro and others flipping their connecting piece changes the angle.
