  It will, what’s the cable routing on the bike you’re putting it on? Ideally it needs to hold two full length outers all the way to the hub on the non drive side.

  And if buying / fitting yourself read the Rohloff manual to confirm which axle plate will work for your setup!

  I would say it depends on your use case and where you use it.

  If you have the budget and want the gear range, reliability, and ease of maintenance. Also if you are using in hilly areas with a mid drive motor and big loads I’d say it’s even more reason to get it. It’s a sick hub but very expensive.

  have you got a bosch motor? assuming its a gen2 from the size -
  if so buy sprocket by KMC or bosch

  crank arm comes off as normal, lockring for the chainring needs a chain whip and (special?) lockring tool. theres a little o ring underneath the lockring i think that you need to get out before whipping the cog off.

  before that, worth double checking that your chain is sized and tensioned correctly?

  not sure why it gets a lot of stick from everyone

  They are ok for light use. not the nicest to use or work on by a long way but OK and fairly cheap if you use them within their capacity.

  They may have ironed out these problems but if you were lugging weights up hills in manageable gears with powerful mid drive motors (see all modern cargo bikes) you would drastically shorten their life. and once they break internally there's nothing to be done except warranty the hub and get a new one.

  Seems so odd to me that the blame is being shifted to the cycle hanger. This is a pretty wide road with a 20mph speed limit. And the cycle hanger is in a parking spot. I don’t know how someone could drive square into it unless they were not paying any attention or going much faster than they should have.

  Braze on Canti studs… Or new fork ?

  Quite like the look of this one, I’d just check the A-C is similar. Would mean you can fit a front disc too if you were inclined..
