I have recently got BBSHD and will be putting it on one of my bikes for commuting. I was thinking about going with IGH for low cost maintenance, and I was wondering how many people run their BBSHD with IGH? What are your experiences in terms of long-term performance, durability and costs? I have read that for a flat commute, 3-speed IGH such as Shimano Nexus or Sram i-Motion is all that you need, well maybe Alfine 8 if it is a bit hilly. All of those IGH have "direct-drive" gear.
At the same time, I have a Rohloff hub that I wanted to put to a good use in this project. Anybody runs BBSHD with Rohloff? The blog post seems to suggest that 14-gears might cause too frequent shifting, which will be nuisance. Also, there is a concern of BBSHD being too powerful. Can share please with me your wisdom?
