"They look like normal bikes with 26" wheels!"

extra weight at the rear wheel

Are you calling him fat?

Will be curious to hear about how the bike feels with the extra weight at the rear wheel

I already know how it feels with between 15-20kg in the panniers, so hopefully one-and-a-bit kilos of hub won't be that bad :-)

They do take a little while to bed it in...

You mean I'll actually have to ride it O.o

Are you calling him fat?

Well, he has met me...

Bouncy is for Spring & Summer.

Soon?

yassssss pete slaaaaayyyyyyyyy

Soon?

Hoping to swap forks this weekend.

Glad to see my current style of rotor is available in a 4 bolt Rohloff version. Good old Hope!

Cool. Looking forward to seeing that!

Rohloff is cool too man :)

Wow.... All the gears!

Aaaw yiss. Rohloff. This'll be ace.

you'll need some ergon grips to go with that hub m8

This will be epic with the Rohloff. Do they specifically make one for MTB's?

You might joke, but I will need a gripshift compatible lock-on grip...

Beard & sandals are already taken care of.

Do they specifically make one for MTB's?

Nah, but they do rate the hub for off-road shenanigans, as well as round-the-world trekking.

gripshift compatible lock-on grip

Thankfully, ODI do make a few.

What, no ergon?
Isn't that basically mandatory when buying a Rohloff?

These ones, yeah?

You're starting to worry me now... @BareNecessities

You'll be changing your name to 'Sheldon' soon....!

If you want to go full German, then yeah.

But I'd think the dildo-less ones would be okay too.

I honestly swear by them, I have them on my 29er, my hands and writs are much happier for them.

Off-road tanDOOMing too!

Which ones? The GS1 looks ok.

I was reading about the recommended gearing ratios and people over 100kg are lumped in with tandems where maximum allowable torque is concerned.
