I am about to rip my drivetrain out and stick in a Shimano Nexus internal drivetrain. Why? Because I am tired of replacing worn chains, cassettes and jockey wheels.

Anyone advise against it? I am tempted to replace all my bikes' drivetrains with internal gear hubs. Winter is a killer on drivetrains.

I am not going to bunny-hop (cannot anyway), so the 1.7kg of static weight concentrated at the rear end will not matter so much.

How about speed. Will I be as fast as if I was on a normal drivetrain?

Gracias!
