Veer Shift Drive is a transforming belt sprocket that could kill the 3-speed internal gear hub! 📘 The Bikepacking Bike Buyer's Guide: https://www.cyclingabo...
I doubt these will take off. They do look cool Af while shifting imo
Yes, I should have wrote something like “True, unless you ignore…”. But you got the point :)
Rohloffs are amazing. Just be warned that if you do run into trouble, you’re likely going to have to send the gearbox to Germany and wait for a replacement/repair. If you’re on tour, this may not be ideal.
I guess that’s the thing with internal gearboxes and pinion gearboxes. They are incredibly reliable and very low maintenance. However, if you do run into a problem, you won’t be able to fix it yourself.
That’s one of the reasons why world cycle tourists still like old-school 3x setups with readily available parts sold anywhere in the world.
