Nexus 7 shifter options and brake power

[matt_outandabout]

Hello

I have just been given a commuter with a Nexus 7 hub on it.
Is there any choice of shifter - I presume in true shimano style they won't be 2:1 and 1:1 like other shifters....

And is there anything I can do to improve the rear brake (drum)?

Thanks

Matt

What I like about a drum brake and the reason I use it on my winter bike is that the braking is constant, very bad but constant.
Put some grease from time to time on the grease port , and make sure the tab is tight to your frame. Nothing much to do to increase power....
