Rohloff speedhub, yes or no

yo-eddy · Oct 20, 2008

I've been using mine for over half a year now and I'll never switch back to mechs again. The speedhub is just what I need.
Can imagine it would work very well in British mud also, so why isn't everybody using 'm :roll: :?:
A little poll is up

And I know you're all gonna nag about the money, but hey it's proper build, very durable and made in Germany

'cos we haven't all won the lottery yet, £800 all in verses a couple hundred for normal stuff! I would love one but now shimano are on board there will be more adopters, more market entrants and therefore cheaper prices to come....

agree with Pete , too expensive for me . but brilliant idea .

yo-eddy · Oct 20, 2008

Are they really too expensive compared to XTR or XO? I'm sure a speedhub will last way longer also. Not sure if shimano or other are able to build a hub of this quality way cheaper then Rohloff does.... we'll wait and see

Not period correct but yes if I had £800 spare.

And if I did have £800 spare it would go on something else

Does look great and saw a turner or santa cruz with one recently but like the others too pricey at the moment. It'll be interesting to see what comes out the sram crank looks interesting.
