I know that Jan found a new Rohloff to have considerable drag in at least certain gears. Can anyone say how the drag compares to a good derailleur setup, once the hub's inwards have been "worn in"?
I too think that a lighter, perhaps lower-drag, Rohloff quality internal gear hub would be worth a $K or so, though I'd probably argue with other users about the ratios. Me, I'd like exactly 50" 60" 65" 70" 80" but I suppose that, given the physical nature of epicyclics you can't simply choose what ratios you get. (I know that the aforesaid gear inches would depend on the ring and cog and wheel diameter.)
