I have a new MTB frame on it's way to me which has sliding dropouts and cable routing allowing it to take a Rohloff speedhub. Now I have fancied one of these for a while as I love the idea of no derailleurs and some fancy engineering all wrapped up in a nice hub.
Has anyone any experience of using one on a mountain bike? There are loads of reviews of using them on touring bikes but I haven't seen much about them on dedicated mtbs.
I know they are a bit heavier than a traditional gear setup but I am not a weight weenie so that won't bother me too much, unless it feels like I am towing an anchor! And before anyone says it, I need gears, so ss is not an option for this build.
Any real world experience, advice or thoughts out there?
