Yes, indirect
I am a fan of indirect steering. The great advantage of the indirect approach is, yes, you can set the 'gearing' for your steering.
But more importantly you can have several different 'gain ratios' that you can use as the need arises. Usually selected just by
a series of connecting holes, as is the case with my fairly ancient Linear folder.
So if you will be doing some relatively high speed riding you might want less sensitive steering. But for around town use, more sensitive
steering might make more sense. Just undo a nut, move the bolt and you can have it whichever way you want it.
