The magnet sucked up the bits, so it was still smooth. There wasn't a speck of grease on it.
Thanks. So it will be very noticable.
I've been riding my Shimano dynohub that came with my bike for a good 8 years and something like 25,000 km (15,000+ miles) so I don't doubt the endurance of these things.
My Nexus 8 rear IGH is starting to come to the end of its life though I have used it at quite some speed and power, which might add to the wear on it.
Just ordered a B+M Lumotec IQ Cyo Premium T senso plus headlight so I am looking forward to the light it will bring.
