More recently I replaced the shifter cable which has seemingly abolished issues downshifting. I also pumped some four cycle oil into the Shimano hub by squirting down the pushrod hole. It seems to coast and shift even better afterward.
I also added a front reflector and bell easier to reach from the handlebar that has a very satisfying ring. All this helped in my test ride (3 miles) to Friendship Heights this steamy evening. Pictures soon!
