snip For me, it s 27" tubes and tyres. All the local BS have moved to only stocking whatever the latest fashion is. And now there's a worldwide tube shortage. I put in an order in July, only to be informed that all the tubes I ordered were out of stock. They are still out of stock. Fortunately I have sufficient quantities for now, but I'm running low on 26 x 1.50" tubes. I think that the shortage of tubes is to people trying, then abandoning, tubeless tires. |

Don't remind me of the next scheduled Shimano Nexus gear bath! A Rohloff HGB is serviced by an oil change every 3000m/5000km. The insertion of the cleaning oil, the extraction of the dirty oil, and the insertion of the new clean running oil is all accomplished with a screw-in syringe, without the oil ever touching your hands. Furthermore, the materials required are less than half the price of a Shimano Nexus oil bath. Andre Jute Quad erat demonstrandum |

They'll order them in for you though. Cheers |

Furthermore, the materials required are less than half the price of a Shimano Nexus oil bath. Storing the plastic junk from the initial hub infusion and later buying the fresh oils off the local R-dealer's large containers is slightly more messy, but cheapest. Shimano should absolutely stick to their clever oil pricing scheme -- it keeps the shops happy who will, purely for environmental reasons, reuse the remaining bathing oil for the next hub to service, but motivates a frustrated Nexus rust bather to skip the 11sp Shimano and move right on to Rohloff, or Pinion. Quad erat demonstrandum I'd prefer a quad-saving 27 percent difference for the lightest 2-1 gear step, but as Rohloff is not likely to ever offer this, I redefined gear 3 as the second-to last on steepening inclines. |

Who knows? And it didn't really matter. They could specify the proper nuts to be supplied. They may have copied the Sturmey-Archer design but decided to go metric instead of English and rounded up from 13/32" to 10.5mm. |

When you engineer things you don't cut corners so that you need to totally redesign something in the future. The 10.5 instead of a 12 made about as much sense as your normal postings. |
