Can anyone who uses these tell me if there are any problems with
Shimano 8 speed gear and roller brake hub,shimano dynamo hub and
roller brake in long distance road use. Is the lowest gear low enough
for a 1 in 10 hill and are the brakes adequate for a similar gradient?
Are they ok for trailer towing? I am putting together a touring bike
for a 'round-Austrlia'trip of about 12 months duration and the load on
the bike and trailer is anticipated to be about about 150kg. Any
thoughts or ideas most welcome.
Thanks
