I really like the idea of an IGH like the Shimano 8 or 11 speed hubs, but have never rode a bike equipped with one. I see that the ratio range on the Alfine 11 is supposed to be pretty close to my current 3x8 24 speed derailleur setup. What I'm wondering is what are the gear steps like? I've seen the gain ratio charts, and I know that the percentage gain from gear to gear is a little closer with my derailleur setup, but I have a hard time understanding what the bigger gap between IGH gears would feel like to somebody riding the bike. I think in most of the gears the difference was only like 3% between my cassette and the IGH, and that doesn't sound like much. For those who have made the switch, how big of an adjustment was it to get used to the different gain ratios?
