I would suggest talking to the following peeps
user x-campbell who has a LHT retrofitted with a belt rohloff
Evan at Cyclic Bikes (Flemington) kitted out a bunch of bikes with disc rohloffs a few years back
Commuter Cycles (Brunswick) have retrofitted rohloffs to a few steel frames.
St Kilda Cycles have been dealing with them for years now.
or maybe just email Rolhoff direct?
you would imagine they must get quite a few of these type of Q’s considering people are spending $1000+ and want to be positive they are getting the right hub model…
Thanks folks… appreciate the speedy replies.
I have emailed Rohloff Aus distro, who were helpful to a point, but then I started trying to overcomplicate things by designing a weird setup and I think I confused them and myself.
Will have a play with that hub finder, looks good and haven’t seen it before.
Gracias.
Have you ridden a rohloff before btw? They’re nicely made, but IMHO total overkill for most duties and still have quite a lot of drivetrain loss in the planetary gears.
There’s also the Alfine, which is lighter, cheaper & takes centrelock discs.
also the idea that they will eventually pay for them selves in that you don’t have to buy cassettes or fancy chains is untrue.
as the oil kits, rolhoff sprockets, special disc rotors and rolhoff cables (apparently you can just use tandem ones - but you need two) make up for not having to buy cassettes.
Having said that my mate is very happy with his for ‘round the world’ style touring.
But the beardo multiplier points you get are astronomical.
true, only 14 gears but automatic beardo ‘wizard’ status.
I think some one should start a beardo card game,
Kind of like that one all the scary kids at school played in the library
You know my Aldine rear defeats your xt but his custom ti fender rack mount beats you both.
Sit around the camp fire and play all night.
while it’s true that the beardo points for ANY rolhoff setup are over 9000 i have a shimano nexus 8 (apparently with the same internals as the alfine 8) and i find that it offers plenty of beard for the buck.
For extra beardo points you can run a nexus/alfine with the alfine tensioner and a double chain ring setup thus giving 16 or 22 gears x2 beardo point multiplier applies if half step gearing is used 
Does this involve 20 sided dice?
I have always wanted to produce a bike bingo card (or app for the modern Beardo), for mass rides like the Brisbane to Gold Coast.
Points scored for things like first recumbent, extra points if it has a flag.
Supermarket bike with forks on backwards, because that’s how it came out of the box.
Bonus points for pics.
Suggestions?
Brightly coloured fixie with matching coloured tyres to saddle and grips / tape (that isn’t black).
That is the point…
To answer your question, no, I have not ridden one. I’m kinda sold on the ‘hub for life’ concept. I also have visions of myself touring with a trailer so the broad ratios appeal even though the likelihood of this ever happening is low. And also, I just fucking want one which is how I end up with half my bike shit that i don’t need.
I have ridden Alfine 11 and one of the 8 speed ones, can’t remember if nexus or Alfine. Apart from my road bike, I’ll never have dérailleur gears again. Do like
Unless the flange breaks - but Rolhoff do give a lifetime warranty
MTB Tourer Done. Real beardo, reminds me of the tourers that are popular in Germany, very upright ride compared to all my other bikes, but I’m gonna start dropping the stem and maybe flip the bars
Parts details here
Only changes are a longer stem, Abbotsford ‘Sushi’ bars, Suntour micro-ratcheting thumbies and shimano canti levers.
Rides much nicer with the new bars, roughly taped with some old bar tape for now, gonna do a proper job with some ‘natural’ cork stuff once I have it all dialled.
The Suntour shifters are a pleasant surprise, really nice under the bars easy to trim as you can use you thumb and finger. Nice ratcheting when down shifting (to larger cogs) and smooth friction the other way.
They are reversable (i.e. left and right are the same) so can run above or below the bars plus they have 3 spots they can sit on the mount so you can adjust where the lever starts and stops which is nice.
Not really diggin the Regal, so if anyone has a Brooks they wanna swap let me know…
Blakey would be proud!
Na its not 650b…
but seriously those Suntour shifters are a bit of a revelation… seen that they are still pretty popular with a few retro-grouches and on some idiosyncratic bike packing setups:
i.e. I saw a pic of some guy running them to shift across 4 or 5 SS cogs on a single speed splined hub with a double up front, reasoning that the rear wheel is dishless…
I do have a set of those shifters, but never thought of mounting them upside down.
It also means you can tape over the bracket and lean on the brake lever tops for another hand position.
