I'm already starting to get used to it. Being able to shift whilst not pedalling and dumping five gears, great when you want to stomp on the pedals when going into a steeper, faster descent or shifting to an appropriate low gear when coming into a climb is great.
Again, the central position of the weight in the frame really does help handling. You seem to pivot strongly around that central mass whilst manoeuvring on the trail.
I like doing this
Hopefully, my Rohloff shifting habits should carry over well to a Pinion
