New Rohloff Speedhub in 2008
Via Hubstripping, The German magazine Aktiv Radfahren is reporting on the new Rohloff prototype.
The new version of the widely acclaimed 14 speed internally geared hub will have a number of changes over the current version:
- It still has 14 gears with even steps all the way, but the overall ratio increases from 526% to 580%
- The hub shell will be about 20% smaller. Useful for building into small wheels
- The weight will be about 1400g, compared with 1700g of the current version
- It will not be suitable for use in tandems or other “hard core” uses.
- A new shifter will be available, though it’s not clear whether this will be an STI/Ergo style shifter for use with drop bars.
