allowing shifting with shifters other than the original Rohloff Twister i.e. on a dropbar the Rohbox can be operated by modified brake shift levers, or on a straight handlebar it can be operated by modified trigger shifters or even brake levers.

This new version now shifts 2 gear positions per lever movement.

The best way to use drop bars, but not perfect.

ConsGlitchy, expensive
ProsThe best compromise available
I fitted this to an (old) internal mech Rohloff, so had to fit a transfer box (8216). Despite what the Q&A says, part 8714 is not required, since 8216 comes with screws.

Installation was fine, but takes a while. You'll need some long lengths of cable outer. I ended up buying a workshop roll.

The Rohbox itself is very nicely made. It's not as smooth in use as the twist shifter, and it's very sensitive to the cable run (like derailleurs). There's a lot of dead movement before it actually starts to shift, so the levers have a lot of throw, and you can't adjust it out without causing interference. There's a lot of spring in the system, so it's much harder to time the shift between pedal strokes. I often find that it shifts two gears when I wanted just one. In general, I get a lot more mis-shifts and glitches than I ever had before.

That said, this is the best system I've found for controlling the Rohloff with drop bars. There are good alternatives, but with different compromises.

What other parts would I need to fit this to a Rohloff that doesn't currently have an EX box?

"Rohloff External Gear Mech Kit - 8213" plus this should suffice, but I won't need the included "EX cable box".

"Rohloff EX Transfer Box - 8216" plus "Rohloff Paper Gasket Kit for Axle Ring with Axle Plate Screws for Speedhub 500/14 - 8714" (for the screws) looks sufficient, but lacks the "Axle plate" from 8213. However, I can't see the axle plate in the 8213 photograph, so perhaps it's integrated and is included.
You would use the axle plate that came with the hub or purchase a separate one depending on your fitment needs, all you need is 8216 transfer box and 8714 gasket and screw set. SK 22/03/24
