I tried Shimano IGHs a few years ago. Went through three of them in <2,000 miles. At first I thought it was my weight; that they simply weren't made to operate under the torques induced by a 275lb (at the time) person. It might also have been the gritty nature of the paths I rode. But the last hub, which lasted more than 1,000 miles, would not shift much at all when it was 20 degrees or colder. That was the final nail; I ride year round and park outside in the Chicago area. A shifting system that literally froze just didn't work for me.
