two rohloff shift cables

Struggling to figure out how rohbox works with Sram shifters

Springs, magnets, imps I presume.

Why is Rohloff that much better than Alfine?

Works like 100% of the time.

That's pretty cool about the EBB, I didn't realise it was all in with the frameset. Would make a nice cheap/cheerful SSCX type thing as well then. When I looked them (EBBs) up before for an old frame it seemed expensive/complicated.

hmm wont work with 1x .. needs 2x shifters, I thought the Gebla rohbox 'converts' 2 cables to 1 towards the shifter and you can up/downshift using just one shifter.

ah well, might just get a shand stooshie rohloff full bike before the corporation tax deadline (cancelled the leccy brompton)

Buy a mountain bike

no

It's 14 speed though isn't it? It wouldn't work with just 11 clicks.

You could get an electronic one

Which is why this is nifty as it is an eccentric shell with normal threaded BSA BB in it. Nothing fancy or expensive

Me, spending £170 on a BB

If you don't know me by now...

I personally would be more likely to try weld on some track forkends than fork out for that. Or just throw the frame in the bin and buy a new one. It's a nice bit of engineering though

That is properly bonkers.

The old Arkose SSCX have external routing, if you can find one

Because #buyer? But better range, can be geared down more for off-road, and is more reliable (both the internals and the shift system). You pay for the privilege, mind.

Rohloff is great. Change the oil once a year, and that's about it.

Rohloffs are great I agree, new oil once a year and it just keeps on rolling.
It is heavy though!

Can this be renamed the “Gravel bike @amey buy a mountain bike” thread

I should've mentioned, if/when I get a 'gravel' bike (I already have one) it is never going on gravel or anything remotely off-road, ever, the roughest terrain it will go on is the the bit between Millwall and Fordham park on Q1.

Which is a challenging terrain

Your a challenging terrain

Sounds like you might need a dropper post then as well

@amey you need a Pinion and you know it

It’s Ur
