Yes.
Have it laced double crossed, triple cross will put the nipples at an extreme angle.
It's completely silent, no click/clack when you cost.
The shift feel is very smooth.
The hub is the size of a New York pizza.
I think it may be more robust than my Rohloffs.
The shifter turns backwards to a Rohloff shifter.
250% gear range.
It weighs more than a New York pizza.
Has handled heavy loads on my frankenXtraGiantThing for a year or so now, not even a hiccup.
The perfect match for long-tailed bikes.
