jrfostI really believe this is the best internal gear hub that Shimano makes for general use. The premium (red band) version is a quality part, well made for minimal maintenance. The gear range is quite good and is versatile enough for most any kind of general riding. It shifts smoothly and effortlessly across the entire range. Plus shifting can be done while standing still. My comment about it being cheap is relative to the other large multi-gear internal hubs available today IMHO.
