...some of my rides on the above segment. In case you are interested, I tested the Giro with a conventional transmission (Sram X9) and with a Rohloff hub. I found a significant difference between their efficiency in low gears. Bike Power Speed Cad HR Time Gear Date...

...budget Carbon wheel from Aliexpress deserves a bunch of testing in the garage and a high quality tire mount job to limit your risk. That cool rohloff spoke pattern is great on a DF; on your Cruzbike V20; not so much. Ok deep breath; that's a lot of words to paint a very small picture. On a...

If u have the money di2. It comes in many flavours so perhaps it's cheaper just to get the Shimano Ultra Di2 upgrade I have the manual version and the lever when shifting sometimes catches your finger... Really irritating ... Like it happened to me today. That wouldn't happen with Di2. With the...

...the nose of the V20 and S30 is now the same completely. This now actually differentiates the bike more than when the S30 was suspended. Rohloff, Nuvinci; not worth the hassle will not really work well on an S30/V20 have been tried with Luke warm results. Save you bucks and the weight...

...this was such a great idea, one of you would have done it already. The Verdict: The dark horse in this race, primarily due to the weight. Rohloff with chain drive The good: All above except 4 and 8. The bad: 1) More difficult to change the front tire, 2) About 2% drive train efficiency...

I HATE flats. Really hard to get my Grasshopper's back wheel on, because the Rohloff axle-plate always twiddles round the wrong way while I am trying to get the chain-tensioner round the right way. The only reason I have not chucked both bikes off a mountain is that I have never been up a...

...an eye. Getting the tyre back on is a thumb-breaker. And it is hard to get the pump on and off. Then I have to get the wheel back on. The Rohloff has an axle-plate that rotates into the wrong position. And there is a chain-tensioner which pops out of its socket. Silvio is a doddle. The...

...the dead spot without enough momentum. It is a question of getting the force just right. As for changing down before stopping, I like the Rohloff on my Grasshopper. When I first had my Silvio, at traffic lights I had to get off and hand-crank the cranks and change gear. I learned to do...

...the shifters and brakes. The rear derailleur is always a risk on any bike (that has one). It isn't an issue on my raptobike since I don't actually run one. I use a Rohloff and don't even run a front derailleur. All in all, it makes learning to ride the cruzbike Hi-racer's easier than others.

...configured and its terminal speed downhill is quite high. I have had the Rapto up to 56mph. It does have higher rolling resistance with the Rohloff and a dynohub rear wheel. The Rohloff is wonderful. I had issues for a while with the shifting cables but once I got the right cables and...

Thank you, thank you. With a Gaadi tube I am now able to change a tube without removing the wheel from the hub. Removing a Rohloff front wheel may be impossible on the road. English speakers do a Google search for Gaadi Tubes. Update: Gaadi tubes work well. Front tube change is quick. No...

What size rims and tires do you use on your beautiful bike ? Rohloff hub in frontwheel : I can see your point and the consequences when getting a flat tire , so maybe this tube solution could help out ? http://www.gaadi.de I tried the 26 " version with a Presta air valve on my home made...

...find that I don't fully downshift on my Vixen most of the time either. I know that during the 2009 STP I lost access to my lower half of the Rohloff hub making my low gear about 57". I finished the 200 miles like that and went up hills quite a bit faster. I am having trouble separating the...

On my Silvio I have XX1 freewheel and Race Face 44t wide-narrow chainwheel and Rival 165 cranks. I like it. Range is almost as big as the Rohloff on my Grasshopper. I wanted to avoid a chainwheel-dérailleur. I have a White Industries hub and their XX1 compatible freewheel driver body. Both...
