obviously there's a quantifiable weight savings, but what does better bearings and ultegra level mean in this context? if the red band is ultegra, would you compare a regular inter-8 to 105? sora? alfine is dura ace maybe ;-]
do the rims make a difference? they're all in the same price range....

Nexus is utility bike stuff. The premium hub is better than the standard version but if you want to compare it to derailleurgroups think Altus and similar.

So you consider the SRAM gear hubs to be on level with Dura Ace? Staff in Schweinfurt will feel flattered...

Aeroheat wheel that AEBike lists is a 559 BSD (Mountain bike 26" wheel). Salsa Delgado (this one is 622 BSD 700C) is stronger/wider/heavier than CR18. If you want another rim why not build it yourself? Velocity Dyad is Aeroheat in a 700C version. It is a strong and simple rim. We use the Dyad 48H version on our 700C touring tandem. They work well and are a good value. If you want to score more "coffee shop points" you can use Velocity Synergy OC (Off Center). The Off Center spoke holes would bring the wheel into "nearly perfect" spoke tension balance left-to-right. I just built one using Mavic A719. Since the weight of the hub is significant I just don't see scrimping on the weight of the rim. David Ornee, dave at ornee dot net, Western Springs, IL

since it would be going on a utility bike, that's ok. the ultegra/red band comparison is harris's/(sheldon's?). and i know it's apples and oranges, but i'm fascinated--one guy says it's comparable to shimano's 2nd highest road group and another guy says its like their 2nd or 3rd lowest mountain group.

off the shelf solutions are somewhat cheaper, particularly since i don't do wheelbuilding as a diy thing and don't have the patience to learn....when the bike gets stolen, as all bikes are destined to be, every incremental dollar is going to hurt more.

According to tests in the latest "Bicycle Quarterly, the premium version of the Nexus 8 speed hub on the Breezer Uptown 8 is more efficient in most gears than the standard version on the Jamis Commuter 3.0. Specifically, they said that they could really feel an efficiency difference on the Jamis between the direct drive (1:1) gear, which seemed very efficient, and the other gears. They said this efficiency drop between direct and non-direct gears was not nearly as noticeable with the premium hub on the Breezer.

Yes, listing by AEBike is inconsistant at best. Off-the-shelf-solutions are often less expensive, but may also be worth what you pay for them. (Things like butted quality manufacture spokes, spoke washers to make up for the very large diameter spoke holes, extra finishing of spoke tension/stabilization/etc. can make the wheel more reliable) I guess I don't approach the issue with "when the bike gets stolen" in mind, but I have been very careful/lucky in having only 1 bicycle and 1 front wheel stolen in 50 years. Shimano has there own factory built Nexus 8 hubbed wheel. I don't know if it is based on the Red Band version..... but if it is cheaper.....

Breezer has a nice package with the Nexus 8 red band hub where you get "everything" in the package "off-the-shelf". That bicycle is a great value for a utitlity bicycle. Koga-Miyata has a Dutch Commuter style high utility bicycle where you also get "everything" in the package "off-the-shelf". The model I rode had the standard Nexus 8 hub. If you live within reasonable driving distance to Harris Cyclery you can likely arrange a time to demo both. I know that the Red band version is lighter (but still weighs about as much as a wheelset for freehubbed bicycle... all by itself). I road the Breezer and the Koga-Miyata in separate test rides. I liked them both, but I would need to get rid of a couple other current bicycles to afford either. The Koga-Miyata really caught my attention with the fully enclosed chain case and extra rear wheel guard so I could ride safely with a long rain coat without having it tangle in the rear wheel spokes.

Oh, this one! This is for offroad use. So one should compare to X.0 and XTR, not Dura Ace.

Loosen up man, there is plenty of DA in cyclecross, and 90% of the Speedhubs wind up in recumbents, touring bikes or citybikes 😉
> the ultegra/red band comparison is harris's/(sheldon's?).
No, I believe that was from Shimano's marketeers.
I've never actually ridden the red band version, both of mine are basic Nexi. I like them a LOT!
Correct Latin plural may be nexus, with a long u (pronounced nexoose).
Is.
(4th declension)
Yes, nexus the noun is 4th declension, but "nexus" could also be the perfect passive participle of necto, which would decline like a 2nd declension, with plural nexi. I don't know which Shimano intended.

Is there a chance in Hades that it could be "nexera"?

No, but the plural of Prius is Priora presumably 🙂

I've been riding my #1 bike since I bought it in 1972. It doesn't go out alone at night. (who knows the company it might keep??) It goes into stores/bank/PostOffice with me or I won't go in.
