Rohloff Shifter

Because of the Juicy 7's Hydraulic reservoir we needed to be a little creative in how we mounted the Rohloff's shifter. We decided to use an ICE mirror mount to switch the positioning. This gave us room for a full grip and it's much easier to see the numbers on the shifter too.

The Marathon Plus Tires are 1.75, which is about as wide as you can go and still run the fenders. Tim's gonna have a smooth ride and won't have to worry about flats with these tires!

Here's a good shot of the Catrike front fender setup.

For the front shifter we left the stock bar end shifter. We doubt it will get much use with the Rohloff in the rear. You can also see the mirror.

Thanks to the Expedition's direct steering and long wheelbase you can make sharp turns easily.

14 speeds in one little package, the Rohloff Speedhub is smooth shifting and ultra reliable.

Tim said he might want to use the Rohloff with some of his other bikes at some point, so we laced up a wheel that would give him maximum utility. A Velocity AeroHeat rim with smooth sides will allow him to use rim brakes if he needs to, while the Speedhub is ready to go for disc brake action with the addition of a rotor. Although the Catrikes have the Rohloff-compatible dropouts, we went with the stock torque arm to give him the most compatibility with other rides.

The Clickbox version of the Speedhub makes setting up the shifter real easy.

Here you can see the Catrike boom with the Protege 9 wireless computer and Shimano M540 Pedals.

Looks a little crowded but you can see the wireless sensor, fender, Juicy brakes, and more.

The Rohloff Tensioner is the best one on the market. It has a dual-jockey wrap that allows enough chain takeup that you can keep your triple up front. That gives Tim 42 gears to choose from.
