Isn’t that user error? I would have expected you need to ease off the pedals as you shift, like any other kind of shifting mechanism?
Or are these supposed to survive mashing on pedals while shifting?

Will only shift when you back off, all internal hubs the same.
Oil change once a year or 5000k whatever comes round sooner.
Servicing is done at Thorn, £140 I think!

The rohloff was a bit clunky, and somethims when going up hill it didnt want to shift down a gear, just jammed. If I took pressure of the pedals it then shifted.
Er yeah. I grew up with hub gears and loved the relative freedom of derailleur gears when I finally got some. (Still do.) Obviously, fixies are best.

Good first ride out, quite simple and we rode pretty smooth.

Otherwise bike rides really nice and stable.
