I've never had an IGH, but from everything I've read on here, they're generally very reliable and near maintenance-free. And you can shift them while stopped.

I saw those, thanks.

This is the bike I have Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bike

Its a 3x8 drivetrain. It has eyelets for a rack and you can install fenders on it. Costs $300 but there's a 25% coupon right now making it $225+tax,etc.

I use it for commuting with a rack and bags and it holds up great.

I have an 8sp igh!
