This has been a great 3 speed hub for my cruiser. I didn't want a derailer, etc. I've had this cruiser for 30 years as a one speed, so having the gears is really nice. I wouldn't try to climb / coast too many mountains with it. Works great for local hills, but some of the mountain jeep roads I went on this summer were too steep. The gears weren't quite low enough for me too ride up some areas. On long sections of steep downhill (all the way back down the mountain) disc brakes would be better because the drum brake could heat up under those extended conditions. Usually I'm riding around town and it works great for that. I did add a 23 tooth rear sprocket for fifteen bux that helps with hills and lets me use the 3rd gear more often. I would definitely recommend it for a cruiser or commuter, but not for serious mountain biker.

This hub is awesome. Took a great deal of the challenge away from the wind and hills on my single speed cruiser. I now have many more options on places to ride. It's like getting a new bike.
Best Deals for Shimano SG-3C41 Universal Hub Kit Nexus (36H 3 Speed Coater brake)
I have used the product for several months now. It shifts well, I also have used a Sturmey Archer src 3 speed. They are comparable. The Nexus is a little louder buts shifts more crisply than the SA. I would prefer a trigger shifter rather than the twist shifter. All in all it is an excellent hub. I have one installed on a 20" Adventurer steel folding bicycle. The coaster brake seems to grab a little quicker than the SA, but that may be the result of the 20" wheel as opposed to a 26" wheel. I like the ease of adjustment of the Nexus but also like the more traditional look of the SA. I have purchased another Nexus to install in a 26 x 1 3/8 wheel on a bicycle I am building.
Honest reviews on Shimano SG-3C41 Universal Hub Kit Nexus (36H 3 Speed Coater brake)
Great 3 speed hub I installed on a1940's heavy vintage bike. I also ordered the 22 tooth sprocket as it comes with a 19. This makes for a nice lower gear ratio.

Ordered to build up a custom cruiser. This hub is amazing, 3 speeds and a coaster brake all in one. Very smooth shifting with a good spread in the gears. Coaster brake works great. Pretty easy to put together too.
