Are they reliable and efficient ?

In the past I have ridden SA geared bikes and there always seemed to be a loss of power.

Any thoughts ?

Has anyone tried one ?

TIA...

Are you kidding?! Rohloff hubs are, arguably...well maybe NOT arguably the best IG hubs in the world. They sell for over $1000.00 for the hub assembly alone. Go to http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/ When I go IG for my commuter it'll be Rohloff...in fact I'm saving up for one right now.
