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

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