That said I can understand the growing appeal of electronic shifting for Rohloff hubs; its in-sync' with the rise in ebike users. However, on a tour and/or riding in the proverbial 'middle of nowhere' I think i'd stick with a manual twist grip. Its less likely to go wrong and perhaps easier to figure out a workaround if necessary. I'd probably say the same in the disc v rim brake debate. Now, where did a put my sextant?!
