Anyone else notice how much better his trails got, not only is he a ripper he's also a digger. His trail building skills improved just as much as his riding did!!!

Video: Trail Dog Shredding
you would be surprised how hard it is to actually run one over, seen many collisions but never a run over. Good trail dog will get out of way or just get brushed

Its also not a good idea to take younger dogs (under 1yr) on long rides regularly. This can cause health problems in the long run. To much during development can make their lives miserable later. You wouldnt run a 6 yr old kid in a marathon on a regular basis without problems. As for breed the best trail dogs i have owned have been mixed breed herding dogs. Some dogs love it others don't, roll of the dice. Miss my trail dog immensely, she out shredded everyone every time. It was great she would always pick on one of my buddies- steal his food at breaks & piss on his bladder tube. Only him tho, was always blaming me that i trained her to do it. Wish i could have, it was priceless...

This should be the direction to go to eliminate the antique drive system we all use. Has been functioning under moto forces for years. I agree with the less gears idea, shaves weight & will make it a simpler system. Maintenance will be a simple & straight forward process that any mechanically inclined person should be able to take care of on their own.

Rohloff hubs are not that complicated once you've had one apart. The exploded diagram in the manual makes it pretty straight forward. Worked for a company that tried to spec them (cost killed that) & the engineers took them apart. They couldn't get it back together, so i found it in a box on my bench the next day with a book. Like RC said the Sturmey/Archer hub is not that complicated, the Rohloff is just a super complicated internally geared hub. Nothing to fear, just lots of parts.
