Never had an issue, 1st gear is super light with those ratios.

Don’t think that you can lower the gear inches much more without potentially damaging the Rohloff hub.

Not sure if that’s only a rule for ebikes or not

Roughly 2:1 is the lowest you can go for external gearing on the Rohloff, I believe it used to be higher. Thanks for the info.

We have 55 x 24 on ours. Was the only possibility for the mud port Gates belt drive (the old model).
No problems so far (4 years in). Have climbed up to 9% loaded with a kid and camping gear.
