I have a SRAM i-Motion 3 sitting on a shelf. I replaced that with a Sturmey Archer x-rf8. My 20" folder as a Shimano Nexus 8 in it. It appears I have all of the big three IGH's... or at least the ones mentioned in that article.
As someone with all 3, what do you think about them? I have a Shimano Nexus 7 and as someone used to derailleurs (and someone coming from the road bike world) I was surprised by how draggy my Tern D7i feels compared to my roadie, or even a touring full-size frame. I've been wondering if it was just a bad hub?
