I had a chat with Grant a few months ago about IGH which was mostly two guys agreeing with each other, so take that for what it's worth. I don't hate 'em and I don't think he does, either; my complaint is the "no maintenance" marketing-speak that proponents invariably present as a feature over a cassette and derailer. I don't know what the heck is going on inside that hub, and wouldn't have the first clue how to fix it if it crunched to a halt out on the road. I can see and get to the workings of a cassette and derailer, and when a derailer gets wonky I can either adjust the shifting or leave it on one cog and ride home. There's also the matter of getting an IGH out of the frame to fix a flat.
In summary: Heavy, not no maintenance, harder to remove a wheel on the road. I've never been convinced an IGH solves a problem caused by a cassette and derailer, which I think is where GP is coming from on the issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
