My nexus 3 hub is a little testy....but maybe I'm ok and I don't know it. The cable is adjusted properly according to the shimano web site. But the coaster brake seems to drag in 2nd and 3rd gears while coasting. This causes the bike to slow down a little faster, but this does not happen in first gear. Also, when starting to pedal from coasting in 2nd or 3rd gear, the gear seems to kick or engage after pedaling starts (kind of like the slight kick you get when upshifting in a high gear under load. This doesn't happen when upshifting under load. The crank is turning fine, and the links in the chain are not binding. Finallym, if I need to regrease the coaster brake or main bearings, can I use PCV grease or do I have to use the shimano grease (I don't have any handy).
