Seconded. If I can get off my lazy butt,I'm installing a Nexus 7 on my 1x1 and swapping to a disc front. My Giant is the current bad weather bike,but it's too much of a bumblecrow. It's ok for my commute,but slows me down too much when running with the Pirates.
Got the Nexus,now I just need to find a matching Rhino Lite disc front. I'm also thinking about going hydraulic for the disc. I really dig the setup on my Marin,which feels just like the motorcycles I've owned.
