who fitted it for you?
and how much inc. coupler?

steven shand cycles in scotland (frame builder)

£80 plus p&p

i had the fixie coupler fitted on my cross check, not as good as the photo as the rear drop out is not a constant diameter - still pretty good though

Planet X carbon cross forks with mudguard eyelets - very good condition with a few marks. aluminium steerer 190mm long.
still £139 on planet x website.
£60 ono

Just pulled the trigger on an XL Swift.

is excited

you will like!

my original swift below-

I mean me, sorry.

i realised that, I was just saying I don't think I would pay the extra?

thanks for nice comment....

That look fantastic! you should show Clefty that.

Need Alfine 11 NOW.

not sure i would pay the extra for another 3 gears? unless it is very hilly or you are towing the spread of gears are plenty fore most..... i think

there will also be a few cheap alfine wheels/hubs becoming available then the 11 speed is launched.

works really well with the Jtek shifter - not sure if they are doing one for the 11?

Surly Cross-Check with belt drive Alfine finally completed and rode in on this morning - fantastic.

Can't believe how smooth and quiet it is! not sure i will be riding the Rohloff much now!

Set up is quite tricky though and takes a bit of effort. However if anybody would like any advice I would gladly help

Don't forget the Alfine 11 and it's 409% gear range, pretty close to the rohloff for less than rohloff price.

not that close really and will still cost £450 inc changer! I imported my rohloff from germany for £700ish.
i also have a alfine and the removal of the rear wheel is bloody hard work - the rohloff is fantastic

everyone moans about rollhoff and sram hubs because of the gripshift style shifters. Surely you can run these though:

They've got an extra click for 8 speeds and i'm sure that lever clicks the indexing off. These are brilliant in use, has anyone tried them?

not going to work with a Rohloff - they have two wires and the indexing is in the hub.

That's pretty damn cheap all in.

sorry, it was £80 for the chop and another £180 for belt/sprockets.

did a good job though

this bloke makes (or supplys) a really neat liitle coupler to allow the belt through the frame...

http://www.shandcycles.com/2010/02/23/carbondrive-beltdrives/

he doesn't supply, he just fits them to your frame - think he gets them from fixie inc.

just had my Surly Cross Check altered by him - not cheap at £80 plus sprockets/belt

smallest front at the moment is a 46, they have had issue with the 39T (?) and withdrawn it until they are confident of it.

i've gone for 46t front and 22t rear for my alfine cross check, just waiting on a 115 belt

Best bike in ages. Damn I want a Rohloff so bad :(

cheers, get one they are fantastic - better than i thought they would be

Wow, I didn't expect any one to have one so I just bought a used one on ebay. Thanks for the offer though!

no problem, i didn't really want to sell.

good price that, you will be amazed at how well they work!

i may be persuaded to sell mine, built up with black cxp33 rim. only done approx 100 miles and would include tube/tyre Vittoria Randonneur 28mm.

However i don't really want/need to sell it....

Let me know how much you are willing to pay? Eno hubs alone are £128....

i have attached photo on current bike...

V nice. Is there some kind of pully brake for the rear in the hub?

no, just hadn't connected the rear brake yet (paul cantis) needed to take it out for a ride after finally building it up

Bushnell eccentric bottom bracket, not as good as the Phil Wood EBB on my Singular though...

my 40th present to myself....

Van Nicholas Amazon with Rohloff hub - very bizarre feeling on the commute this morning to have gears (and not having to pedal to change!)

I used the travel contacts and I found them pretty good. However I have since swiitched to Schwalbe Marathon Cross. However these are on 700c wheels - not sure if available on 26"

sorry sold

just of updated thread....

2nd dibs on cranks

as above, good condition. A few insertion marks, mostly low down

£20 + postage

Just ordered all the parts from Phil Wood to finish my flip/flop belt brive project, but it's taken 9 months of speaking to Gates and PW to get anywhere. Now PW are making Gates compatible stuff they're far more helpful. Matt at Hubjub was also very useful.

I've ordered a PW rear 'kiss off' mountain bike hub with a PW 22t belt sprocket with bolts onto the disc brake side. The other side is a 22t PW sprocket mated to a White Industries ENO freewheel. Front is 55t/Belt 113mm.Solved the dropout problem by using an Alan frame which has a slightly smaller rear spacing but the 135mm hub fits in easily enough. I imagine you might have issues using a 120mm spacing due to the extra width of the belt and sprockets. I've not yet seen any mass produced belt bikes using less than a 130mm.

The only issue I can see at the moment is the front sprocket hitting the chainstay, so i'm going to need a much longer BB and some spacers, but it should be fine.

It wasn't cheap, but then obsessions rarely are.

can you explain a bit more how the sprocket mates to the WI freeweheel?

i am having my cross check chopped at the moment so i can install belt drive and currently use the WI freewheel

cheers

Tubeless is the way to go for me.

same here, not sure why you would want to change them in the mud though (they self seal)? so much grippier and more comfortable with the lower PSI.
Did 2 laps of the Marin last week on them and will be using them at Hit the North 2 next weekend

any chance you know what's the price going to be? defintely higher than the current 8 speeds I gather.

£375 for hub, £50 for changer. due end of September
