Neat, isn't it? I will not be getting this option. It looks like a great option to have, I think, but at present the ordinary Rohloff range looks like it is probably going to be good enough for me, although choosing the ideal gearing is a bit nailbiting!
I am curious about how the chain tensioner/front derailler idea affects the feather in Rohloff's cap of a constantly perfect chainline though..
Again, I am grateful for everyone's help.
