A unique gearing system offering a large increase in gear range.  The unit is installed at the bottom bracket and front chain ring. It doubles the number of gear speeds and lowers the original range 250%. Beautifully made and very reliable. Used with favor around the world on all types of bikes.  Manufactured in Switzerland by Florian Schlumpf and his company Schlumpf Innovations. A very useful accessory for Brompton hill climbing riders.
