Speaking of IGHs generally and Rohloffs particularly -- and remaining within RBWlist canons for relevance, since we're talking about using these with Rivendell frames:
Has anyone used or heard first-hand particulars about the Kindernay hub? Me, at this point I'm not interested in buying either Rolhoff or Kindernay, only weird old SAs, but I *am* very interested generally in IHG technology. (I think it one area where tech advance could serve cyclists, and not only urban utility cyclists, very well. Closer ratios with sufficient range would be a great blessing.) Jay, have you thought of a custom frame for Riv-like geometry with IGH and discs? I know that in general a custom can accommodate odd specifications, per my 2 Matthewses (60+ mm tires + 80 mm fenders and sub 160 mm Q; 114 mm OL hub with 42 mm tires and fenders and sub 150 mm Q; not to mention all sorts of weird braze ons).

I had a Gus in my cart when they went on sale recently - my size, my color - but ultimately didn’t go through with it because I really like the Rohloff that I have on my Bike Friday. I know it’s possible to kludge it, but I’d prefer to have a bike that has the proper dropouts and brazeons to begin with. Anybody know of a maker who offers a frame with Hillibike features that’s designed to accommodate an IGH and disc brakes? The Tumbleweed Prospector and Surly Ogre come close but don’t have the long wheelbase. Riv’s designs are influential so I suppose it’s only a matter of time… -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
