rogan-
It's basically the same as my nexus 8, shifting is good with trigger shifter, the hub is heavy and less efficient than a derailleur setup (more drag:slower) and it doesn't have a huge range of gears. if you're set on a hub gear it does the job well for the price, better than a sturmey archer for instance. Not tried a rohloff but they're a different league.
