The action is nice, the weight is noticeable, but then you've got an extra gear for getting up hills/accelerating anyway. The hub is 1.5kg which is 1.2kg heavier than an average rear hub - that's the difference between a full 1l water bottle and an empty one (well, almost).
To be honest, it's not the kind of hub that you'd want to put on a weight-weenie bike in the first place. But it's great for a slightly more relaxed town bike.
