You would think so, but that is a big IF in your post. Two LBS mechanics have touched my Rohloff. One damaged the hub just trying to get the sprocket off! He did not read the Rohloff instructions and arrogantly ignored me when I told him how it came off. The other wanted to use the wrong tool and would have damaged the hub more if I hadn't stopped him. Never again!
