I love the fact that you've kept this thread going for two years now. Shouldn't that hub have closer to 4000 miles on it after your latest tour?
At any rate, this is good info. I mostly commute, and I though an IGH might be a good way to go, but I have it in my head that I might occasionally want to tour, and I wondered if the hubs were really reliable for that. Obviously it's just one person's experience, but I'm glad to hear it's been a positive one.
