Wanted: Rohloff Speedhub

Preferably disc compatible, but anything considered, whether built

Anyone got one?

Sadly, I think if you're looking for something at below retail, you'll be
unlucky. I'm not sure whether anyone who could get you a new one posts here.
Maybe Darth Ben from Kinetics (http://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/) does if
you're near Glasgow. Only other place *I* know of that can get them is
BikeTrax in Edinburgh (http://www.biketrax.co.uk), but there's a fair few.

Last time I was in the shop there was one in the display case: Ben deals
in Rohloffs reasonably regularly AFAICT, and he posts out. Give him a
bell, quote the Magic Plastic Number and a Rohloff should be yours
reasonably soon afterwards as long as Mr. Visa is sufficiently
understanding.

No, not all. Some of us like to be able to pick our bikes up if we want to
:-)

It's not actually hugely heavier than a having two extra front rings and
front derailleur added to 9 cogs and mech at the back.

Although there is the hassle of having nearly all the weight behaving like a
point mass rather than as a distribution.

Yeah, but that's what your pick-up-able's for! You don't just have one do
you?

they cost =A3600, quite possibly though!).

How much do you think you'd notice, compared to, say, having your=20

Some folk are experimenting with it as a gearbox near the bike's=20

I'd like it to be a bit quieter if I'm paying that much, and not have a=20

Shouldn't that make them weigh 600 lb and be made of Sterling silver?
