Rohloff Internal Hub Gears / Help - I'm confused about cranks
« Last post by AlexRa on April 30, 2024, 09:30:57 pm »Hello all,
Building up a Rohloff bike. Long time Rohloff-er but fairly new to bike building.
Can someone help me with some info on crank compatibility? I've entered a worm hole of info about chain lines, chain sizes, and chain rings - and got confused.
Here's what I've got. My Bottom Bracket takes a 24 mm spindle. I've got a Rohloff hub on the back. So I need to know what crankset is going to be compatible and give me the right chain line, and have a chain ring that is compatible with the 8 / 9 speed chain that Rohloff requires.
I'm sure this is quite obvious to more experience folk, but everything I find online seems to be wrong in some way. Am I being an idiot? Is this actually simpler than I think?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks, Alex
