I use an eight speed for commuting. It's a great hub, but it's already lunched one set of innards after about 8,000km, so I wouldn't regard them as reliable. It's OK as a commuter hub, but I don't think I'd want to race on it. Ironically, although the Rohloff is expensive, it would be cheaper than a high end derailleur set up!
