I have one, the 8 speed nexus hub.
I am torn. Looks great, has some nice touches, but I'm not loving it. It's pretty heavy, the gears slip in middle range whenever I put any power through the pedals, as well. Its great for very leisurely rides with the family and not bad for my short commute (mudguards mainly, plus the idea that the hub will be better in shite weather) but fuck it is heavy and sluggish up hills.

Interesting to read, think I'll give it a miss.
Last road bike I had was a Salsa Vaya which my brother has borrowed long term as I mainly use the mountain bike.
With the continuing travel restrictions I've only been using the Brompton in the city but Edinburgh roads are shit - want another big tyred bile that doesn't care about potholes!

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.
