Shimano Nexus 3-speed
In gear one works normly, BUT in gears 2 or 3 when pedaling the free wheel noise comes in, like your coasting even though your pedaling... my shimano INTER-4 doesnt do that, but does the new nexus 3-speed do it?
If not i gota fix it...

Anyway, they all do it, so just enjoy the mechanical music as you ride.
