One of my more exuberant customers killed his 2nd or 3rd 3-speed hub in 2 years. I called the highly regarded manufacturer of the most recent one to get another warranty replacement, which it turns out, is no longer available (they've never had parts, so we always just replace the whole hub). The tech told me that IGHs are for "cruisers and other low-torque applications". Anyway, this is about Chapter 20 of my book of frustrations with IG hubs, which is not polite conversation in utility cycling circles, where IGHs are surrounded by a sort of religious devotion. So it was with some satisfaction that I read today's Riv blog post about IGHs.
