  • never skipped a beat in 5 years with minimal maintenance,

    Were you mashing the lowest gears up steep hills with heavy loads much?
    My enviolo was subjected repeatedly to 10/15% climbs with 50+ kilos on the front. Just not designed for it I don't think.

  • We've gone through about 6 Enviolo hubs in 6 months. We've found they last a bit longer if you try and only shift when coasting, and definitely not when under high motor/leg load (i.e on hills). This shifting technique defeats the entire purpose of a stepless, automatic hub, but if they last longer than 1 month...

    We'll be slowly moving over to Rohloff, it's just hard to justify when they're warrantied endlessly.

    whats the issue with them?

    Glad it's not just me. I am hard on kit, but I think the 5000 miles put on this by the previous owner must have been quite gentle and flat. I broke it after 300.
