Neil,
A couple points:
--As far as I can tell, the Mini or the Curve have the same type of chainguard, so I wouldn't count that as a difference.
--I should have pointed out to you that the suspension on my Mini has been changed according to Jur's method.
--I think my SA hub is starting to wear out, after about a year and 3000 miles... meanwhile I've heard nothing bad about the Nexus-8. I think one would be better off with the tougher, less sensitive hub; and I suspect that hub is the Nexus.
