is it ok if i hijack this thread a wee bit? it's just I've heard horror stries about some IGHs (insanely priced oil baths, massive unreliability, etc), and i wondered what your recommendations would be?

I'm riding a Kona Africabike, maybe 12 miles a day, most of it along a shared path and with a couple of steep bits. so heavy bike, heavy rider, and a couple of heavy hills - i feel like this is a fair amount (or perhaps even too much) to ask of an IGH?
