Yes, feel like a chain with tons of loose slack. Also in one direction (I forget if it was up or down) there is a delay in shifting, the other direction it was instant.
The only STi style shifter I've found for a IGH only works with the shimano nexus 8-speed, the sussex VRS-8. Also it was priced highly, since there is only one company making it.
interesting, i might want to try putting a freewheel on it.
and i think the delay occurs when your shifting from a lower gear ratio to your highest. it takes a second become it sets in.
and yeah there is a lot back and forward play. and it feels exactly like if your chain was loose, but it is not really noticeable when your moving, most noticeable upon start up
