Just did the commute (15miles) on the Day One today, it's not as heavy as I thought is was going to be, the shifting is nice and smooth, the indicator/display is starting to annoy me less, the wheels/tyres feel really big, takes such a long time to get it going, but once it is, its really smooth, thinking I might swap the 35s for 32s or 28s, previous owner made a bit of bodge of the rear mudguard so it's a bit rattly, gearing on the 8spd seems to go in progressive jumps, currently miss the closer gear ratios of my road bike, it's a bit hard to find the optimal gear on this hub, as it either feels a bit too big, or a bit too small, if you know what I mean..
Liking it so far, but feel I'd like to do a bit more fettling, to get it how I would like..
