With my Rohloff the hub-shell is much bigger than the cog..
Yes, but those are not what would be considered "the norm."
Booger1 makes it sound like standard bikes have setups that allow for changing a spoke without removing the cassette. While 75% of the spokes on my bikes are non-rear-drive-side spokes, the only spokes that have ever broken on my bikes have been the other 25% and require removal of the cassette for replacement.
As for for the Fiberfix spokes, I carry one so that I can get through the rest of my day of riding before having to pull the wheel and cassette to replace the spoke.
