Who in their right mind wants to spend £1000 on a Rohloff speedhub when the shimano/sram system that does exactly the same job costs a couple of hundred quid?

Wich you have to replace after one season of abuse, fails in sticky muddy condtions and make your bike rattle like a can of nails on bumpy trails........seriously, name me one offroad vehicle that has it's gearbox exposed to the elements?
Hope these guys make some progress soon http://pinion.eu/discover-pinion/pinion-p1-18/

Never had that problem and I ride some very muddy trailsyo-eddy":2zrlp36u said:fails in sticky muddy condtions
The new clutch system eliminates this completelyyo-eddy":2zrlp36u said:make your bike rattle like a can of nails on bumpy trails
Yes, Rohloff invented their hub in 1997, and its still relatively heavy, expensive, sensitive to servicing, not user repairable in the event of failure (im an amateur powerlifter, and much bigger and heavier than yo-eddy and can confirm DO fail now and again) and has a limited range of gearing. I can't believe you don't have your gears hanging on the outside if your bike when it overcomes all these disadvantages.yo-eddy":oj2hg0xn said:Rohloff invented their hub in 1997, that is 15 years ago, and you guys still have all your gears hanging on the outside of your offroad vehicle :facepalm:
