Thanks! I’ve got two Alfine 8s (one Brompton, one city bike) and rate them but always just fancied a Rohloff + belt drive.

@BrickMan I’ve got to crack one open and give it a good dousing soon in ATF (based on a ctc post) so good to know that’s acceptable

My previous Alfine worked pretty well. But the weight of a cargo bike when loaded takes quite a bit of force to get going, and I think this is where the Alfine suffers. At least that's been my experience with it.

Yeah I hear you, mid drive + cargo bike weight + less than mechanically sympathetic riders = minced internals.
