I had to use one on my bike with a Nexus Inter-4 hub bong know if all the 4's are geared as high as mine was cause it came off of an electric assist bike. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=44718&start=105
Used with a 16 tooth rear it's a tall gear for a 26x2.125 combo, not bad with a 17, and creeper with an 18...
1st gear is 1:1 ratio I understand on the nexus hubs, hence the low front gear needed.
I run a 38/17 with a Nexus 7, plenty of range.
