Just got an IGH myself, an 08 Soho. The original set up had a 44 X 18 which gave it a low of around 35 inches and a high around 106, way more than I would ever need. Switched it to 39X22 and now the range is more reasonable for my very hilly commute. I like it in spite of the weight. There tends to be a little clutch slip from my experience. Feels a little weird but easy to adjust to. Don't know enough about IGH to know if this is common or if I got a bad hub.
