Bike is the same.
Rear tire got skinnier from 32 to 28.
Set up myself. Cable had to be shortened to fit my bike but other than that it was pretty straight forward and I made the adjustments outlined in the manual... lining up the red and yellow tabs in the little window on the hub.
Gear ratio is pretty darn close. Same exact chain ring in front that I used all the time before.

Also, if you lift the rear of the bike and spin the back tire it spins for about 5-6 seconds before coming to a stop. Not too bad but there is drag.

Chain tension is a tad tighter than I might normally want. I currently have a 48t ring in front but I have a 47t on order to hopefully achieve the perfect chain tension. I'm wondering if this could be contributing... the chain being a tad tighter than it was before.
