I wouldn't recommend a sealed Taska if you're looking for durability. I got a Taska U-Free and it was as smooth as can be for about 3 months of frequent riding until it started to ghost pedal about a 1/4 of a crank turn when rolling on the rear. I opened the hub to find it was the clutch/resistance collar which unlike the solid one piece clutch you're used to on your Geisha is tack welded together and with time separates.
See that's the thing, everyone uses that stupid 14mm axle and I'm sorry but that's just overkill for flatland. I don't want to have to deal with changing all that out.
"My geisha only seized up because I've barely ridden in the last year"...imagine...LIFE. Kinda catches up huh?

Yes, torn cartilage does kind of put a damper on my riding time. I bet I still rode more in the last year than you've ridden in the last five though. Maybe I should have added a preface of "I'm riding less than I have in the last decade, which was quite a bit."
