I am not sure what you just said here, but if you said you are using a Shimano brifter to shift a 3 speed IGH, I was not aware that you could do that with a Jtek Shiftmate, but if you can get the right cable pull ratio figured out, I can see where that would work nicely.
I am using a Sturmey Archer 3 speed bar end shifter on my folding bike to operate the IGH part of the Sram Dual Drive. The cable pull appears to be spot on for that. And a Shimano 8 speed bar end shifter for the derailleur.
