Again with Leon on this. You learn to get used to it if its major. I think my hub has possibly skipped a maximum of 20-30 times in the 2 years i have owned it, done it a lot at first but a quick clean/service sorted that out now its time for another 2 years on. if its the bike you want buy it ride it, get used to it. Then upgrade at a later date, no matter what hub you buy it will probably skip on you at one point or another. I rember when i was running FFW set up with a tensile and that skipped on me loads.
