Curious: Since modern derailleur drivetrains are so amazingly reliable -- I can speak with certainty of 9 speeds and with some confidence about 10 speeds, and these both frictioned and indexed -- what is the value of Rohloff if you are not doing a world tour?
I'm curious as an onlooker -- I have no desire to buy a Rohloff or, for that matter, an 11-speed derailleur drivetrain -- about the pluses and minuses in both columns. Now, IGHs -- that's another matter. I can easily see myself getting 2 or 3 speed wheels to supplement the fixed wheels on my customs. But for more than that, after researching and pondering the options, I just can't see that IGHs trump derailleurs for the sort of riding most of us do, whether on- or off-road. My (Chauncey! What's happening!) God-willing-shortly-forthcoming "road bike for dirt" will have a 1X9 + granny ring. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
