    They’re pretty easy to swap for the trigger style just be sure to get a trigger that matches the gears on the back. Else cruising round in 2nd should be okay too.

    Even my old car would struggle on the gaffney St Hill. My touring bike has a massive range of gears for that nonsense but my road bike would get walked up the hill. Used to take gaffney on the regular to get to Jiu Jitsu, prick of a hill but better than Bell St.

      Bell St is a nightmare even in a bus. It astounds me how many times the driver has to hit the anchors due to cars cutting in front of it. Crazy.

        Oh I didn’t mention that the trigger shifter needs to match the number of gears on the rear gear cluster. Your bike looks like it’s got five gears at the back so you’d get a five speed trigger. If you keep an eye on other hard rubbish bikes one’ll turn up soon enough, else ceres bikeshed given you’re in the North.
