Internal gear hubs sealed for rain?
Does anyone have any experience commuting with a newer Nexus or Sturmey hub in the rain?
I was formerly of the opinion that thick grease would not allow grit to migrate into a hub with dust caps but no seals but it seems not to work that way. Has anyone put a lot of miles on these things in rainy weather? Or maybe repacked one and observed whether or not they have good seals?

Internal gear hubs
I know some one that had one of he cheap hubs and it didn't last long. Bad seal, dirt, no good.

Re: Internal gear hubs sealed for rain?
Every time they come out with some new geared hub I try it out, and a few weeks later get my money back.
Only thing I've found that can survive the power/torque/daily commuting punishment is a Rohloff. |
