Brompton Sturmey Archer 8 speed Rear Hub X-RF8 Kit 325% 28 holes 20T OLD 120mm | eBay

This is the 8 speed they use for brompton. No brake.

A wheel ready to install.

You want 5 gears at least but maybe talk about ratio instead. Find out what you are curently riding from a gear calculator and then decide what you want. Amount of gears is not the best/only way to describe what you need.

Also I think I remember you wanted better shifting. Did you look into getting your present setup working properly? Cleaning and lubing all piviot points on the rear der? New cables and wire? Is the shifter working as it should or can a new one do better?
