Legendary German 14-Speed Internal Gear Hubs & Touring Precision in London
For over a quarter of a century, Rohloff has set the benchmark for mechanical precision and drivetrain durability. Rooted in German engineering excellence, their sealed internal gear hubs protect vital moving parts from the elements, delivering unmatched shifting reliability for cyclists across South East London and the world's harshest environments.
Why We Love Rohloff
The Speedhub 500/14
14 real, evenly spaced gears with a massive 526% overall range — matching a traditional 27-speed derailleur setup without the vulnerability of hanging rear derailleurs or overlapping ratios.
Bulletproof Reliability
Sealed inside a protective oil bath, Rohloff hubs are impervious to mud, rain, sand, and grit. Proven on global expeditions, they are engineered to last a lifetime, often exceeding 100,000 miles of trouble-free riding.
Low-Maintenance Freedom
Say goodbye to bent derailleur hangers, constant cable tuning, and grinding chains. Just an annual oil change keeps your gears shifting crisply under heavy pedaling load or while completely stationary at traffic lights.
