Ya, dissing the Rohloff is a tough sell -- there's not many soft targets there :-) The toughest criticism I saw on crazyguy, for example, was the discomfort that comes from thinking that something might go wrong, that the rider couldn't fix. "What-if's" don't bother me much, certainly not by comparison with the actual repeated hassles I've had with derailleurs. (In a sorta-related vein, wildlife strategies aren't so much "what-if" questions, but "what-to-do-when" issues.)
You'd probably find a few more possibilities with the Brooks, to be sure, since saddles are so much a matter of choice. Probably best to stay away from helmets, though... ;-)
