Yep had the di2 version until it was stolen this year.
As @amey says you’ll notice the weight on the rear straight away, picking the bike up or moving it, and the cable version can be a bit of a faff to get undone if you get a puncture on the rear (have alfine on my missus commuter and on a dad bike), the other thing I’d say is I only tended to use three gears, as the even jump in the gear ratios meant I never really used the top or bottom gears in the three odd years of commuting on it in London..

Has anyone got/used the hub geared day one?
Considering getting the 2021 day one next year through the C2W scheme.
I've only ever used a 3 speed hub before so no experience of shimano's offerings.
