  • Is rohloff really worth the extra money? It seems to add the best part of a grand to the price of a load 75

  • Imo, yes. It’s absolutely good value for money and worth it. Whether it’s essential then no it isn’t, unless you’re going to be pushing the bike to the load limits and doing a lot of miles

  • Absolutely.

  • What have you got at the moment?

  • Rohloff on a normal hybrid I would say is just showing off, unless you genuinely do 5000 miles a year or go world touring and want it to just work.
    Rohloff on a cargo is again, boutique, but they just bloody work. A11, A8 and Nexus 5 all can fail if not treated nicely most of the time. Enviolio/Nuvinci, well, every mechanic has seen their bucket full of those failing (well not necessarily failing, but they get internal wear/grooved out so you end up with pretty much just one gear that stays put).
