This Kindernay has some nice features over Rolhoff , but it also has proprietary disc rotor and sprocket lockring (are the threads compatible with cassette lockring?). WHY? It should have been designed to use standard parts wherever possible. At least it uses common sprocket interface.
From some videos I saw, it sounds noisier than Rolhoff, is this the case?
Stam-
The Rohloff also has it's own bolt pattern for the rotor. I suppose it's just been around long enough that they're more commonly available ( mine is made by Hope )
The lockring is a bit odd. Not many people carry a massive spanner on tour, though you'd hopefully be able to find one anytime you're near civilisation

Four years since I first posted it, it's still around
I like the hydraulic shifting
