Since I have ordered an 853 gravel bike and I am excited to get it; my parents [60s] have catch the bug. So I go on bikesdirect LiveChat and the guy starts giving me a pitch on Shimano Nexus 8 for my folks.
Sends me this link; which seems like a Shimano commercial – is it too good to be trure?

I have never used this system or know anyone who has. **Does this link page overstate the benefits of this geared hub?**
Anyone have experience with this component ? This it is good for my parents on exercise bikes ?
