My 5 speed hub is hopelessly inefficient. Reasonable in the 3rd and 4th gear but quite terrible in the others, which thankfully I don't use much. I'm actually considering switching to a non-gear hub bike. Changing gear is fine, but there's clearly a huge amount of friction being generated and I feel as though I'm wasting energy. I had it serviced about a month ago at the best place I could find in London for Sturmey Archer hubs and I've been told there's nothing wrong with the internals, so I guess it's a rather flawed design.

But, back to the question, it is sensitive, which is a pain in the arse as there's axle creep on my bike.
