Can confirm. Even with a budget Sturmey-Archer 8sp, you learn to shift early and shift often. You don't wait until you need to shift, you go a second or 2 early so the slightest moment of off-pressure gives you the space and time to down-shift. I like to think I was reasonably OK at that seeing...

FWIW, just like learning to ride a CB takes some miles, it’s similar for the Rohloff. You will get used to it, as there’s a brief point in pedaling where the pressure is low and *click* you twist shift. Riding my ICE Sprint trike up the Rockies, Ozarks and Appalachians with the Rohloff were easy...

I had no idea when I started this process that I would have to back off peddling to shift. I find that a serious disadvantage, especially when climbing very steep hills where you have to downshift rapidly while trying to keep your momentum going. I expect I will get better at it over time, but...

...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

...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...

Here's a few photos of the Rohloff Speed Hub on my Q45:

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...

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.

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...

Popcorn ready!!

I get my Q45 with Rohloff Wed/Thur this week. Stay tuned.

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...

...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...

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...

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.

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...

I won't be using a belt.
