And today I did......

Re:

Can't hear my gears for the noise of my breathing!

Anyway, 10 speed block, chain and chainring £100, Rolhoff £1400. That's a lot of drive chain changes.
 
Im going to throw in my lot and compare Rolhoff to Sturmley.

I know what you're all going to say, thats its not the same but, effectively its exactly the same.
And a fraction of the price.
 
The new 8 speed Sturmeys are supposed to be not bad, but not a huge amount better than an Alfine if it's range you are after.
I've got the Rolhoff dropout for the El-Mar, and I am considering it! :shock:
Tempted by a NuVinci too, though not sure how great the sealing is. Maybe I should go for NuVinci and Schlumpf?

You could always go for a very reasonably priced nearly new Alfine ;)

Is there a new 8 speed?

The 8 speed Sturmey hubs I know aren't much use for mtb work because their bottom gear is direct drive.

Yeah, quite tempted by that. I'll take it if your happy to just hang on to it til we meet up next time. ;)
 
Grasshopper, the answer lies within yourself..........or the ripple of the pond..... or in the way of the path to enlightenment.....
but for Barry, they all say the same thing.................. singlespeed ;)

History man, that looks lovely, where, when, for how long and on what?
More info please, looks like the sort of riding we like :)
