Here are some pictures of my new Rohloff hub set up.

After my return from Canada and the 24 hour Solo Worlds my Ellsworth was in a bit state. The last 18 hours was a very muddy and bike killing and I only had the one bike.

So now I am free of derailleur’s, excessive sprockets and chain rings, miss shifts and clogged gears that stop working when it gets a bit muddy.

It is another step towards a bike that can shrug off any 24 hour race.

All I have to do now is ride another 1900km on it to wear it in.

Big thanks to Rohloff and Chris from www.Puresports.co.nz for fiting the hub. Also to Bike Vegas for letting us take over their shop and for Dale for building the wheel.
