I like them - however I can come up with a few reasons to not like them: 1. if the hub breaks or you can't shift it - you're out of luck, period. stuck 2. if the hub breaks you HAVE to talk to someone about fixing it. At least in the case of the shimano hubs fixing it yourself, where you are is put-near impossible. 3. you can't manually move things around and limp along like you can with a derailler 4. when a derailler or cable breaks you can normally just manually move the chain and tie off the cable if you need to. those all sound like plausible reasons. Now, for in-town "you can walk if you get stuck" and "I don't want to even SEE the chain" kind of applications I think igh are a good plan. -sv --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
