I've put about 800km on it and it's been really lovely. I'd expected some drawbacks or a steeper learning curve, but it's really been just... easy.
Been thinking about how it compares to my previous 3x8 friction set up and I thought I'd share a comparison of the ratio if each gear.
There's definitely some lossiness in gears 1-7 as expected, which is why I elected to gear the Rohloff slightly lower than my 3x8.
