Interesting. What is the advantage of the Rohloff dropouts as opposed to horizontal dropouts > 25mm? According to Rohloff (
Dropout styles: www.rohloff.de) both styles do not require a chain tensioner.

Its probably good for upgrading to a Rohloff Speedhub if your budget allows for it.
Looks cool but too non-traditional for my tastes.
Thanks for all the replies!
