Yeah, rohloff is expensive. Nuvinci is not so bad, neither are the
schlumpf drive. Together they are, but you do get a VERY wide gear
range with no steps, it is all continuously variable. I dont think
i need more range than what the Nuvinci can give me, which is a little
wider than the 8 gear derailure i have now.

You get other problems with a long chainline. If something hits it
trash or some plants.
But as you said above, it's a question about tradeoffs. I just dont
like long chainlines. And neither those tubes they run in.
