Hi,
First, thanks to all who replied to my post and the questions I posed.
A lot of help, but so far not all of the problems have been solved.
I've played with the cable adjusters and the tension seems to be
reduced somewhat. The manual says,
Get rid of the GB shifter; get a Rohloff shifter. Very likely this will ease
shifting. I've seen this problem on a few GB setups and issues were solved with
swapping out for a rohloff shifter.
It may be that in these cases the recabling is what fixed the issue, but
unlikely because in two

I'm enjoying this conversation. Very informative and interesting.
I'd love to use one on a future build.
Doesn't Peter White sell Rohloff hubs?

One more comment about my Bombaloff/Rohladil.
Because the frame wasn't built with the Rohloff hub in mind, I had to do two
things that would be unnecessary on a bike designed for the hub: (i) install a
torque arm, to prevent rotation in the dropout; and (ii) use Rohloff's chain

"The Speedhub 36 500/14 has a gear range of 526%, which means that the highest
gear is 5.26 times higher than the lowest gear. Across the entire range of the
14 gears shifts increase or decrease in even increments of 13.6%."

Wow – what a sweet-looking bike. I wondered if Steve Cole was the Steve I
remembered from the Boathouse – now I know.
I have zero issues shifting my Rohloff, except from 7th to 8th, and even then
only when I try to make that shift under load. All other shifts can be made at
rest or under
Another multi-Rohloff owner chiming in here. First, regarding shifting effort,
it definitely requires more effort than a derailer or a Shimano IGH, but the
reason is that you are feeling the effort required to change the gears in the
hub itself, as opposed to just advancing the indexing in the

Well, since Deac and Daniel have suggested it's ok, I'll repost my private
reply to Steve here. Riv content – I installed my Rohloff on my Bomba. I like
it a lot, but the vote was not unanimous – one of my sons rode it for around
100 miles, and disliked it. But he's a single speed true
