• Was just riding along™ and went down a hill, applied the brakes and heard a loud crack.

    20" wheel on an urban arrow cargo bike (loaded with 40kg). Wasn't going at a crazy speed at all.

    And was this the hubs maiden voyage? How old is it? I imagine it has been subjected to a lot of use and abuse in its life. If not could be a faulty part.

    Have seen a couple Rohloff flange breaks on those bikes as well.

    First crack is the hub breaking, second crack is the owner fainting when they see their totalled Rohloff hub.
