This is another example of vintage threads being resurrected years after the comments were written and are no longer valid.

The Rohloff I bought in spring 2013 is also 36h.

Your judgement on only the 32H being initially available is one i'd agree with.
Still, with the Karate Monkey still in Surly's line up the thread is still topical even if a few pointers are now out of date.
I'll now try to remember to check thread dates to determine relevance.
Its refreshing to see I'm not the only one guilty of not reading the multitudes of previous posts on occasion.
As you can see by the above quote, you were pipped at the post pointing out the thread date.
Your quite right of course, I hadn't thought to check the OP's date of the thread when I skimmed and posted.
Hope your getting on OK with your "Hoff".
I'm only a couple thousand Km's on mine but am enjoying its plus's whilst managing to mostly ignore its minus's.
My biggest beef is the rotating cranks whilst I"m pushing the bike often managing to find my calves or ankles.
