Nexus - internal gear system for bicycles from Shimano

Good starting article on internal gears. Shows transmission ratios and helps you compare with more common 'guts out'gearing systems.

Bikes with Nexus 8 system

  • Giant CRX City
  • GLOBE globe city 3.1
  • At ktm-bikes.at you can find Avenue and Univers models with Nexus planetary gear hubs. They are apparently still with Nexus 7 range a lot. Check Life Fun trekking bike series as well. Most serious development here seems to be Life Double 8 with 2x8 Shimano Nexave Tapfire shifters. Notice that this bike also have a chain tensioner.

Zlatkos Nexus 8 bike

On a already owned Scott Atacama I mounted Shimano WH-8R25, wheel with Nexus 8 Premium (red stripe / ring model). I bought the wheel in Prague from www.eurobike.cz. See me and Sanja carrying wheel on tourist routes in Praha
