I had a little issue with my bottom bracket on my Ibex B-27R so it was out of commission for a little while. I got a new sealed cartridge BB, but the problem was that it was a little short so that forced me to go to a smaller front ring (a 36T, I believe). I also changed my route to a more hilly one, I wanted to see how well the hub would perform under the stress of going uphill. Although my new front ring took a little bit of the ‘top end’, it worked beautifully on the hills. I was spinning effortlessly while ‘dialing in’ my desired gearing. I totally dig the NuVinci hub, the weight trade off is totally worth it.
