To paraphrase “ Why electronically shift a Brompton, because it’s there.”
I enjoy his vids. More subjects he undertakes and brings to us the better!

I thought this was brilliant for folding bikes.
There's a controller on the handlebars. There's a cable pulling servo on the stay. The connection in between is wireless.
I could seriously see this with, say, a Shimano SG-C6001C 8-speed coaster brake rear hub on a folder. No cabling front to back. Yeah.

I sometimes wonder why, sitting in a workshop, is it so hard to find the right spanner or socket to fit. Why use an adjustable? I have a scrappy working area at the back of my garage, and my bikes are from the cheap end of the market, but I can still use the right spanner by habit - so that if someone brings their bike in they can see that I care.
