Does anyone have any experience commuting in the rain with a newer internal gear hub such as a nexus or a sturmey? (I have both.)
I have not torn mine apart to see if they are sealed. I am concerned the water-borne grit will migrate into the bearings and gears and eventually destroy the hub.
Perhaps the lack of sealing is the reason they say not to off-road these hubs, except for certain exceptions.
