Hello Dan,
Thanks for your reply and link.
It seems to confirm that Hebie makes a Rohloff specific case which should not damage the Hub.
I wonder why Thorn are still very cautious about this?
Also I have not placed an order yet I am just trying to figure out what spec I need and how much it will cost.
The answer is a phenomenal amount!?!

It is so dear it gives me a headache thinking about it.
The way I am looking at it is that it would be like a voluntary health insurance to try and maintain fitness as I move into older age.
In 20 years time I would be 75 years old and looking back at my 20 years of marriage to my dear wife, that has absolutely flown by!
It still seems as though we have just met!!
So the Nomad, if I can use it properly, may help prevent me being an expensive burden on the UK NHS as I move into "old Gitdom"

Part of the difficulty for me is that while enthusiastically using my Ebike to complete over 12,000 miles since Oct 2010 I don't know if when push comes to shove that unpowered touring would be feasible and enjoyable.
It is a very expensive experiment to run particularly if it did not meet my optimistic expectations.
I have been reading avidly about cycle touring and it all sounds fantastic and the freedom and self sufficiency seems very attractive.
Currently I am on the 2nd volume of Thomas Stevens 1884 tour around the world which I have found to be a fascinating and riveting read.
He was a wonderful writer and terrific fellow, I took him to be an American but it seems he was born and later died in the UK.
He lived into the 1930's so his life overlapped with my own Father who was born in 1930.
Well it is getting late and I have to be up at 4-45am to Ebike into work tomorrow so I wish you and everyone here a very good night.
Thanks again for your helpful posts and wonderful Stewardship of this great forum.
Barry.
