Hi Mick, are you aware that SA make a 3 speed bar end shifter? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-shifte ... mbshifter/Mick F wrote: ↑6 May 2021, 8:46amSpa have TA rings up to 61t .............. which I have on Moulton.

In order to get higher gears rather than using silly small cogs, fit a SA 3sp as well ............. which I have done.
Friction bar-end shifter works perfectly with it. In-line for 2nd gear (direct drive) and all slack for 3rd, and all tight for 1st.

Personally I wouldn't recommend using a friction shifter to engage 2nd gear.
