Rohloff Speedbone with Chainstay Mounts
So, the Surly Disc Trucker has chainstay IS mounts[1]. I have;
A rohloff hub with TS axle An OEM2 mounting to go with; A speedbone An external gear mechanism I'm thinking this is beyond even my Bodgit & Scarper(TM) skills. Is the only option a long torque arm on a standard plate? Which looks like it might get in the way of the external shifter. [1] https://bicyclehabitat.com/images/li...y-242015-1.jpg |

You need Flash to operate the Speedhub Finder; if you have Flash but my link drops you in the warning, go back up to the Rohloff (English) welcome page, scroll down and click on the grey circle for the Speedhub Finder. |

Tip that, looking at your frame end, may give you the cleanest possible installation: Determine the diameter of the bottom bracket shell of your frame, find a eccentric bottom bracket to fit it (last time I looked, about 10, 12 years ago, there was a choice of three at various prices) and start up the Speedhub finder by selecting the EBB option. I have two Rohloffs. The issue was fitting an existing disc hub, with, consequently an external mech, to a frame with chainstay IS mounts. The frame, is clearly not equipped with Rohloff dropouts. I don't particularly want a mungo torque arm if I can get away with it. Wtf Rohloff don't supply there TS axles flattened like intelligent people, then a simple anti rotation washer would do the trick in a nice cosmetic manner. Yes, I know why, but they still could! |

Rohloff Speedbone with Chainstay Mounts
Per Tosspot:
I don't particularly want a mungo torque arm if I can get away with it. I had the same feeling - also with two Rohloff hubs, and I went the SpeedBone route. But, for reasons I cannot recall, I wound up with a bike that would not accept the SpeedBone; so, to maintain interchangeability among wheels, I reverted to the Rohloff torque arm, replacing the radiator hose clamps with multiple wraps of electrical tape - which works because all the force is pressing the arm against the chain stay. Tell you what: I got used to it and now SpeedBones are just a dim memory. -- Pete Cresswell |

When I've finished buggering about I will post the success or other wise of using the standard plate and the rack/fender mount point. |

Not necessarily. If the slot on the frame end is long enough and strong enough, the smallest Rohloff torque resistor will slot into it and that will be everything you need. Note that a Rohloff chain is run much slacker than on even a slack derailleur system -- it isn't just an option, it is a requirement, in this in conjunction with an EBB, as I've already suggested, can give you a copacetically clean installation. Also, I seem to recall there's a Rohloff torque resistor that fits the Surly Karate Monkey disc brake mountings, which look to me very much like the ones on the Trucker. So you in fact have plenty of options before you start bodging. My bodger is a WW 1 Army folding knife, a huge chunk of solid steel, with a bayonet that lines up the most stubborn holes by speaking sternly to them. But, clearly, I take it out only when I'm seriously stuck. One look at my bodger, and I'll no longer be on first name terms with Herr Rohloff. It's a class of German engineering that it could be seriously expensive to mess with. Andre Jute I like to know where I will finish before I start |

[1] https://bicyclehabitat.com/images/li...y-242015-1.jpg You only need some kind of mounting hole(s). I converted my singlespeed to a Rohloff hub equipped bike for winter evening rides. Mayby this gives you some ideas: https://photos.app.goo.gl/b8PoQGQWng8OdXnJ2 Lou |
