Looks great! What are you using for the stem?

@Bill K Thanks for posting about the boom slip. I have been very careful about getting the clamp very tight and making sure the clamp was fully seated. Did you create the retainer you mentioned? Up until tonight, I only had one instance of a few cm of slip during a hard climb. I didn't...

I installed my old Rohloff hub, and I think it is going to work out nicely. I used the following parts: - A "monkey bone" disk brake adapter for the Rohloff torque bracket (monkey bone: best name ever for a disk brake adapter bracket!). - A Phil Wood philcentric eccentric bottom bracket. This...

Ohhhh a Rohloff, how decadent! I get by a SA-8Sp and all the buzzing and whirring that goes with it. Dream bike would be a S30/40 with Rohloff, but a sympathetically modified [bodged] V2k is what we've got. It's definitely the 80/20 solution so unless I win the lottery I don't play, that's how...

...was extended close to its limit. Maybe that is why the clamp came loose. 3) After a few miles the chain loosened and kept falling off. Its a Rohloff hub without a chain tensioner so this should not affect most of you. Hopefully this is normal break-in and I can tighten the chain and get away...

...the riser without the lockring spacer. Seems to be fine but I'll find out for sure when I ride it tomorrow. Still need to install brakes. The Rohloff hub looks like it will work fine without a chain tensioner. I used a PhilWood "philcentric" bottom bracket and a 1/2 link chain so I can cut...

...commuter. SA-8 Sp, 3N-30 hub dynamo and no end of other cheap components off eBay and where ever I could find them. But compared a Rohloff S40? That'll be amazing. I might counsel against belt drive and instead go for a 1/8" single speed chain with matching sprocket and chainring. Bit...

Couple people have done it in the past on the Q-series. The dropouts are equal to "vertical dropouts" so you would need a chain tensioner; like the surly Singulator. Moving the boom would be too imprecise for tensioning the chain, and it would mess up your fit. But if you know what you're doing...

Search the forums for Rohloff and/or IGH, Alfine etc for other posts. Here is one about a Rohloff on a 26 inch wheel: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/experiences-silvio-s30-installed-a-schlumpf-sd-hsd-rohloff-hub.8636/#post-112444 -Eric

I intend to install an Alfine 8sp on my T50. I do expect to encounter issues with tensioning the chain; probably will require a separate tensioner (which are reasonably easy to find). The drop outs are not designed for chain tensioning and as has been mentioned, the chainstay is fixed moving the...

...IGH on their Quest (predecessor to the current QX100). I assume the Alfine would work in similar fashion. Don't know enough about the Rohloff to say. The distance between the hub and the bottom bracket (cranks) is fixed, just as on an upright bike, by the length of the chainstay. Adjusting...

...components are usually cheaper and more accessible. 3. With the movable bottom bracket (MBB), how would you go about fitting an Alfine or Rohloff internally geared hub (IGH)? I like to have options, even if I mention a front derailleur above. I assume that you would fit the cranks to the...

...my XX1 works really well. I have never had the chain jump off. I have a Raceface wide-narrow 42t. I almost don't miss my Grasshopper's Rohloff. I keep wondering about the elliptical chainwheel, but I do not want the chain to jump off. I discovered Garbaruk. This is a company that makes...

Do note that the chainstay length changes with boom adjustment since the front end is not a true triangle. This doesn't meant that an eccentric BB won't work. You'll just have to adjust it to compensate. I would like to know more about the eccentric BB because I have a NuVinci wheel I could use.

With a 14 speed gear range I'm sure you could find a chainring cog combo that'll get the tension close enough to work.

...the party and couldn't get a green frame, so I'm getting a black frame to match the V20. I have a donor stick-bike with a pair of 26" wheels: Rohloff 14-speed hub for the front and SON dynohub for the back (disk brakes). I am going see if I can use a ProblemSolvers Eccentric 46 bottom bracket...

Just SKIP the Double Chain ring, and go for a TRIPLE!!!!

My Grasshopper's Rohloff has a wider range than the XX1 on my Silvio. If I got a smaller chainwheel I would spin out. I HATE double chainwheels.

Stands to reason - aero works all the time. Do you still have Bachetta? The 'same power' bit seems very interesting and somewhat surprizing. So it seems for same power AT THE CRANK Bachetta is about 1.2 Mph slower uphill than DF. How heavy it is? Or maybe drivetrain losses are greater than I've...
