...The efficiency of Nuvinci is even worse. The efficiency of the Alfine 11 is between 87% and 93%, the efficiency of the Rohloff is between 92% and 97%. Both, Shimano 11 and Rohloff use an oil-bath. There is a huge difference beween the Shimano 11 speed 50W and 200W efficiency...

Forgot to mention, that the high torque, which is caused by the rohloff, must be hold by the frame. The efficiency is higher than other internal hubs: https://fahrradzukunft.de/16/wirkungsgradmessungen-an-nabenschaltungen/ The Shimano 11-speed hub is a good alternative. It seems, that Shimano...

The Rohloff is German Technology at its best: extremely well built, spare parts are available for nearly ever, detailed service information. I've got one from 2003 on my up and I love it! There were quite some problems with the Shimano 11-speed.

...to gearing, I've stuck with the stock 11 speed setup. I'd love to have a few higher speed gears, and have investigated a few options (Rohloff, Alfine 11, adding a front derailleur, etc) but with the general shortage of bike parts these days I've not come across anything that is attractive...

Hi Mattew, great questions!! re flat tires, I have now fully transitioned to Gaadi tubes ( https://gaadi.de/?page_id=3671&lang=en ) which makes the process a lot easier. As far as the Extra wheel is concerned, I am an amateur beekeeper here in Sydney and I use the Extra-Wheel mainly to get...

Rohloff, belt drive, and best CB touring model will probably be my next transition. Your set-up looks great. I know you know this but more lights in back at slow strobe is better. Not brighter, just more. As I was (slowly) doing the 6-hour Bessies Creek TT here in Houston, TX area I was passed...

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Is flat tire repair troublesome with the Rohloff? Why aren’t you using your Extrawheel?

Hi bladderhead, I don't know much about Rohloff, but the sram gripshift was made to suit my gear and works well. The Soma bar angles out a little at the bottom and gives me no leg issues at all. Mudguards might be a bit of a luxury here in Australia - I don't get enough rain (or snow) to...

Shifter looks cool. You could do that with a Rohloff. But I tried downward bar-ends and they poked me in the legs. Bike looks clean. That will not last. No mudguards.

It is ‘bent through and through.

...earliest made. I think that when I ordered it the production line was not set up. Unlike the one in the picture, mine has disk brakes, a Rohloff and Meks forks. I think they were all new ideas at the time. Indeed it is a wagon. It has the biggest Radical bags. I have carried massive...

...will not effect the steering. The weight at the BB effects the steering, so IGH is good, because a single chainwheel is light. I could not fit a Rohloff in the forks of my Silvio. I think I was one of the first to put XX1 on a Cruzbike, which I did because I cannot stand a double chainwheel.

thanks for the information and for sharing your knowledge. I have spent some time checking efficiency and it is very hard to justify a Rohloff. I'm leaning towards the Alfine 11 speed now.

I've run a Sturmey-Archer 8-sp hub for 4500 miles so far and it's treated me pretty well. 315% range which isn't as good as a Rohloff or a Kindernay, but for gear inches per £ (or $) then it's excellent. Chain tensioner is a Surly Singleator. 1:1 is actually 1st, so you'll want to plan what your...

Thanks for all the information. I gave up on the Belt system, but I'm really considering the Rohloff Hub. Does anybody knows any bike shop that is familiar with Cruzbikes and build wheels? I need to get an idea of the price of the package as the Rohloff seems to be quite expensive. Appreciate...

...Gator Dirt Drop (installed) -- "Here is your alternative to “alternative drop bars”. It’s wide and takes MTB grips as well as bar tape. The grip area is long; long enough to run grip shifters(including Rohloff) and flat bar levers." 2. DNM Air Shock (not-installed) Includes the following:

...London, which took an hour. In places like traffic lights, I used to see people grinding away in a small cog. I always used to be in the biggest cog and whiz past them. Why do people not change gear? I change gear all the time. Maybe that is why I like the Rohloff on the Grasshopper so much.

Yeah, the All Axel Hub set-up looks like the business! Back-achya for the battery info :) In the tradition of a dyed in the wool bike nut, I have another option, don't we all? I have just reconditioned an Extra Wheel trailer https://extrawheel.com/ ...thinking of putting the whole setup on that...

Thanks for the Rohloff info. Grin Tech (ebikes.ca) would have been my 1st choice to buy the kit from. I was not sure how the Q45 would do, so went with a cheaper option. I will be buying a few things from them soon. The Sempu Torque sensing bottom bracket, the Cycle Analyst 3 and the...

I have a couple of posts on my Rolhoff setup that might interest you. I drove m'self nuts calculating the correct chainline between chain ring and rear cogs. Just use a straight edge....Doh! I used the Shimano Zee bottom bracket set up. While I'm here. As I progress into dotterage, I will...
