Gaps between the gears are reasonably evenly spaced, the biggest being between one and two – in effect giving you a very easy pedalling ‘granny gear’ in first, which makes sense as hill-climbing ability is what the hub is all about. The range is an impressive 302 percent – fine for all but the hilliest of country and with a top gear to suit all but aspiring Chris Hoys. As the name suggests, there are eight gears packed into a hub weighing about 1.55kg (for the unbraked version that I tried – add 200g for the roller braked version). However, find yourself tackling very hilly country or carrying loads regularly and you might want to think about more hub gears.Įnter the Shimano Nexus Inter-8. The market for rear hubs with more and more gears has taken off in recent years, with the three main competitors, Shimano, SRAM and Sturmey Archer, going head-to-head. If you live in a relatively flat area, then a three-speed will suffice – I’ve run the Nexus Inter 3 without any problems for thousands of miles.
