And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That they are - and way faster than me, given the shape I'm in these days.
But don't worry, I'll get there by and by.

Anyone messed around with internal geared hubs? I'm thinking about converting my Litespeed into a flat-bar commuter with an Alfine 8-speed hub. My goal is to strip the bike down but still have a few gears for the mostly flat paths and roads in town. I've been intrigued with the 3-speed auto hubs, but they've been reportedly clunky and problematic.
Any thoughts or FHE?

I like the idea. It's what I'm doing. All though probably only a 3 speed. I don't use much more then 2 speeds with my current 14 speed ancient royce union (15 yes old).
I put the bike together from various parts I wanted. Nothing special. Mostly nashbar parts. But I need to dremel the rear stays to fit the axle. Don't want to use a chain adjuster.

Cool. Which hub are you looking at, if I might ask? |

I was looking at a few. Don't need the best. I like the setups they got here https://www.sram.com/sram/urban/component/internal-gear-hubsCan't go wrong with a shimano. I'd stay away from sturmey. Think they moved production plant and it's gone down hill. |

Same here. The Shimano is expensive and heavy. I like the i-3, but I'm not a fan of the grip shift and feel it will limit my grip and bar options. I keep leaning toward the Automatix but I'm on the fence as to whether two gears will be enough. I'd prefer to drop the shifter(s) and extra cable, though...
Decisions, decisions.
