^Fwiw I’m only asking because if it was any other bike (not an Urban Arrow) and not one i used almost exclusively for work I’d take a punt with shimano too despite them having lots of features I don’t like.
If others had used the UA shimano combination successfully I’d be much less cautious.
I just know exactly how good Rohloff are compared to others I’ve used. And consider them fit for purpose regarding the kind of punishment high torque e cargo bikes potentially pulling loads in excess of 300kg (in our case) put them through. All while needing almost no maintenance whatsoever and having some other excellent features that make them very functional.
