Another Rohloff equipped Rodriguez went out the door this week! Red-brown with our travel package, this bike is ready for some serious touring.
At Rodriguez, we know Rohloff bikes. We know them so well because we’re the biggest Rohloff manufacturer in the USA!
You can also find out more about our line of Rohloff equipped bikes at our Makeshift catalog page.
What is the funny looking shifter on the stem ? (Ok, got it:http://www.rodbikes.com/articles/popups/rohloff-shifter/shifter-doohickey.html) When will you use couplers to pass the shither on the handlebar 😀
Couldn’t we use non-indexed friction frame or end-bar shifters to operate the Rohloff ?
No, a normal (non-indexed) shifter wont work because it doesn’t have nearly enough pull to fully shift through all the gears a Rohloff hub has to offer. Maybe with something like a aero brake lever to v-brake adapter it might work, but we haven’t tried anything like that…yet.
