What isn't clear is whether this is a replacement or an addition.
It is an additional model. And it could have been ready a year earlier (read: now!) if there were no health issues and 'wrong' preferences made by suppliers.

Any idea when the new Rohloff will come out?  Will it be tandem rated?  I'm thinking on building a Rohloff wheel for my Surly Big Dummy cargo bike, but I wasn't sure if the new version of the hub would handle 350lbs?
Safe riding,

Vik, Just based on what I've read my humble opinion is that the current sppedhub would be a better choice for a "working" bike like the Big Dummy.  The new hub will not, apparently, be rated for tandem use.
