    ...is on a flat bar and fits right next to the brake. Not sure if that helps with use, but I hadn’t experienced the problems you mentioned previously. FWIW, Co-motion uses a custom twist shifter for their drop bar. https://co-motion.com/collections/store/products/rohloff-shifter-for-speedhub-500-14

    Pinion gearbox

    ...had the twist shifter at least reversed (but couldn’t see how it was possible ^^); this can’t be good for haptic feedback for sure! I have a Rohloff on my motorised cargo Pony4, it is nice and sturdy and reliable but it took me some time to get used to stop pedalling for a quarter of a...

    Pinion gearbox

    Yes. You would have to work with an LBS as Rohloff won't work with individuals. The LBS would have to order a fitment kit from Rohloff to size up your bike. The measurements get sent back to Rohloff and they send a kit of fixtures tuned for your bike. Depending on what twist shifter you...

    Pinion gearbox

    I contacted Peter White about that. The DF is a QR axle and a different width so it would require quite a bit of work to convert it. He had looked into it before and the cost was significant so I decided not to pursue it. Ah well.

    ...forth to get it to shift to another gear. I think I will get used to it but it will never be as good as my Ultegra DI2 shifting. I got the Rohloff because I will be touring on dirt roads in Alaska (Dalton Hwy) that gets muddy and it sticks to the drive train, sometimes causing broken chains...

    You must have a CruzBike as you are here. You can move the Rohloff over to your CruzBike with a little effort.

    Pinion gearbox

    I have Rohloff on a DF bike (unfortunately can't ride any longer). It did take some time to learn about the shifting, but once I got it it was second nature. Even going up a hill I found that one hard mash would provide enough momentum to ease off the torque and shift. I look forward to hearing...

    Pinion gearbox

    I tried putting the Rohloff shifter onto the end of the T50 handlebar with the direction of shift and the numbers reversed. A subsequent fall to the right saw the shifter go into the dirt. That kinked the shifter cable outer shell so I moved the shifter back to above the shortened grip. The...

    Cruzbike and Cochlear. Two great Australian Inventions.

    ...so wondered if bolting 2 chain stay stands to the front "chain stay" would lift the front up enough to keep the bike stable. The front has a Rohloff hub so is not so light for the lifting and lying down could leak oil from the hub. Maybe modified/lengthened 29inch stands. But then there's...

    Short crank questions answered here

    I don't have a Croder but I have tried some Chinese short cranks. The issue is most likely due to a change in the chainline. Most times when one changes a crankset model, the chainline may never be really identical to the original ones that were on the bike. It may place the chainrings...

    ...small ring. I don't really know what to blame. I have Shimano Ultegra freewheel, rear and front derailleurs. I decided on converting to a Rohloff freehub so I won't be able to debug it further on my Q45. I put all the drivetrain except the Croder cranks back on my V20, which has Ultegra...

    Pinion gearbox

    Looking forward to your followup. I installed a mechanical GX 12 speed a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised at the shifting, BUT I'd really like to get a Rholoff. There are alternative shifters out there. Cinq5 and Rohbox are two I had bookmarked.

    Pinion gearbox

    Looks like Andy isn't answering. I'm in the process of adding a Rohloff to my Q45. So far, the only modification has been with the derailleur hanger. It's too thick and had to be thinned a little bit. I'm not sure, but I think the LBS said all they had to do is scrape the paint of the inside...

    Belt drive on a thru-axle Cruzbike

    ...save you from needing to weld. The anti-rotation problem with the thru-axle is definitely tricky, but I’ve had good luck with hubs like the Rohloff that come with adapters for thru-axles and use torque arms to handle that. For belt sizing, I’ve used Gates' calculators in the past, and they...

    So glad you finally got your Q45 sorted after all your tribulations with the different derailleur troubles. Safe travels, hope you will have a great time.

    Belt drive on a thru-axle Cruzbike

    ...do have a thru-axle kit. The hubs are not thru-axle but they can use fixtures to clamp to thru-axle bikes. I'm having my Q45 converted to a Rohloff speed hub currently. The derailleur hanger had to be modified as it was too thick, but so far, that's it. I will also need a chain tensioner...
