Yep. Someone locally decided they didn't like the way it shifted and sold the wheel from a Marin to me on CL. It's on my cruiser-ized Raleigh Marathon.





Still trying to decide if *I* like the way it shifts. The issue I have is that it does not downshift on its own when the bike comes to a full stop. This, to me, is a design flaw.
