All you end up doing if you DO "destroy" the hub is shear off 3 or 4 nylon pins that are easily replaced yourself, which is by design to ensure you don't destroy any of the fancy metal parts.<br /><br />Can't you skip the testing by getting a cog from Phil and Rohloff through Cyclemonkey?<br /><br />I guess it's nice to know they go through the process to ensure you won't be disappointed in performance (or damage your hub).Matt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326029014342560397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-76699983714758282332013-04-24T16:17:57.715-07:002013-04-24T16:17:57.715-07:00If it fails, Rohloff won't sell you a hub or t...If it fails, Rohloff won't sell you a hub or the Rohloff-compatible belt sprocket, so you gotta run a chain and/or get the hub some other way.<br /><br />I believe the issue is that if the frame isn't stiff enough, you can have the belt slip and then re-engage, which can destroy the hub because of the super high torque in the lower gears.<br /><br />Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156620599767391579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-18865047932515442382013-04-24T16:07:48.742-07:002013-04-24T16:07:48.742-07:00you had to send a frame in for fitness testing? s...you had to send a frame in for fitness testing? seriously? what happens if you don't?mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924576541839331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-68048693999551686922013-04-24T09:52:06.389-07:002013-04-24T09:52:06.389-07:00Same here!
