well, that's the thing. if you like to ride hard, you may not dig the ig. i've used an IG hub (nexus 8 redband) for some longer brevets and harder efforts and it just doesn't jive with my riding style for that kind of riding. I like to get out of the saddle, accelerate hard, attack hills, etc. - I ride hard. but never felt comfortable doing that on the IG and I definitely noticed a difference performance, esp. over long distances. it's almost like it forced me to ride casually. no question, I'd rather ride fixed gear on a longer brevet than use my IG hub. and i'd rather use derailers than ride fixed gear if we're talking 200k +. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
