    hi, opinions wanted

    I was talking maintenance wise. There is very little that needs doing to internal hub gearing for me anyway. Normal gears Need indexing and tweaking, whereas I found the hub gears don't.

    Hello everybody

    Well done. I must admit that I tended to just use a higher power setting when in fact lower power and lower gear was the Way to go, but it does take a while to realise that less is sometimes more. Glad your enjoying your new bikes.
