Well put. It really comes down to preference. 1 x 12 is great on my mtb. and gravel bikes. Never have I missed a front derailleur less. But on the V, two chainrings is a must for me. On a long, flat ride I will toggle mostly between a 52-13, 14, 15 as I encounter slight undulations and...

For a long time my only bike was my Grasshopper with a Rohloff. Then I got a Silvio. The most annoying thing was going back to Disraeli gears. Then I got Sram XX1. I found that, free from the double chainwheel, I hardly missed the IHG. The double chainwheel is the worst thing about Disraeli...

...bike magician) reckons he can fabricate a bracket that will allow the seat to have variable positions. Aldo has just done a mammoth job converting our two Q45s to Rohloff with Gates belts so he's a bit of an expert. I'll message you to see if we can set a time so you can check out the Thor.

...I am slo-o-owly learning those ropes. Wobbling at an intersection is a strong incentive... The local high school discharges new drivers between 2:30 and 3:00... good time to avoid certain intersections. I was totally spoiled by the Rohloff Speedhubs I had in my WAW, and Flevobike GreenMachine.

Here's a pretty comprehensive discussion about Shimano Alfine hubs in comparison to Rohloff hubs by CYCLINGABOUT. I think he covers all the major points here about the Alfine hubs. He also drops a few facts that were a surprise to me.

...to have longevity issues. Once they're broken there's no repairing them. That you can buy 5 Shimano 7 or 8 speed hubs for same price as a Rohloff is a big factor for most people. I got my money's worth out of the Nexus 7. It's not a bad hub at all. It just doesn't have the range for hills. I...

The Rohloff on my Grasshopper works. Year after year. Many miles in mud and snow and salt on the road. I read somewhere on the internet about someone's Shimano hub going wrong. Rohloff does not do this. Huge money, but worth it. But if you get a IGH, be worried about getting the wheel on...

I'm sure the Rohloff is much higher in quality than the Shimano IGH I used, so the efficiency is probably higher. I think I saw a chart somewhere online comparing the systems. I've since switched to a derailleur drivetrain for more gear range. Just that switch increased my cruising speed from...

Hi, thanks Paul. I might explore the belt option, I’d need to source a belt tensioner that Gates or more likely Veer (split belt) would be happy for me to use. I think I recall reading some where that Gates don’t support the belt being bent inwards by pressure against the non tooth side. Or of...

Wow! Since you went through all this work to install your Rohloff hub, have you considered if a belt drive would work?

Hi, I've just finished installing a rohloff on my V20. I haven't noticed any steering lag as yet. There is a weight penalty but I feel it's more than acceptable. I used the monkey bone for anti-torque. It replaces the standard disc caliper adapter. For shifting I installed the Gebla shiftbox so...

...used and much loved Q2 and Q3. We're going to replace the rear hub with a dynamo and we're seriously looking at replacing the front hub with a Rohloff. It means we're junking a couple of hubs, a cluster, a derailleur and shifter - basically the wheels and part of the drivetrain. Just saying.

Rob... What a unique S40... both a Rohloff Speedhub and the Steer Stopper... very innovative! I have been a Rohloff fan/user for many years... Thanks for posting this.

I feel like I've seen one about using Rohloff Speedhub.

Might be worth a new thread, but I would love to know what you found best for the anti-torque? Did you use the anti-twist nuts, or use torque bars?

...drive recumbent. Then you could center all the weight under the seat. That's closer to the intended design application of the gearbox. Now a Rohloff or a Kindernay internal gear hub is heavy but will work on a Cruzbike without handling issues. I put 1000s of miles on a Shimano Nexus 7 hub...

Thanks. I'll read/view through that information. I gather you used a Rohloff hub? I'm not in a hurry on this, as I'm putting a motor on my Q45, and I haven't chosen an internal gear hub yet - both are expensive so I will watch and consider for a bit. I particularly don't have much choice on...

...The options now are: NuVinci/Enviolo continuously variable hub Kindernay hub (https://kindernay.com/) The Kindernay is a near clone of the Rohloff hub with a few differences. One is that it was not designed before thru-axles, and works with them. The web site specifically mentions...

...(not on load, unlike a casette). It's probably the most IGH gear inches per £ or $ (315%), but you lose maybe 7-10% efficiency compared to a Rohloff. Plus you need to carefully consider your chainwheel. 1:1 on the SA is 1st gear. So for 26" wheels I needed a 33T up front and maybe it could...

...Please don't design your forks to prevent a belt drive - accommodate one of the anti-rotation methods for internal hubs (and not just the Rohloff - that's very expensive). You use an add-on piece at the end of the stays for the derailler hanger now - design that piece for the anti-rotation...
