[*BCM*] see in the world.

[Lee Peters]

I wish I had the same luck and the $200 bucks back that it required to make the change. 9 miles per day, 14 months and CRUNCH.  Now the mountain bike is set up as a bad weather commuter with a freewheel single-speed, and everything is cool.

I loved it while it worked, but I don't want to spend 100 bucks every 14 months to change the cartridge.  I guess results may vary.

  I've had great success with Nexus hubs. I have one on a Van Dessel Superfly I ride at the moment, and it is flawless, and Skunk from SCUL has used them for years in his primary thrusters on ships such as this one which weights > 130lbs without rider, and gets ridden > 15 miles most days.

    I don't know about Harris Cyclery, but I would be cautious of Sheldon Brown's information.  He was way off on internal hubs.  I interpreted the article as a recommendation of the Shimano 7-speed system.  Having experienced the Nexus, I would not recommend it to anyone who rides more than 12 miles a year.

      Is harris cyclery really good?  That guy claims to be all about fixed 
      gears and single speeds and stuff, but is it worth the trip out there?
