There’s a company called Veer that also makes a split belt conversion kit for those that don’t have a seatstay splitter as well. They have a Rohloff compatible sprocket available for special order that I used for a conversion. https://www.veercycle.com/

Virtually maintenance free.

Appreciate that insight…I wasn’t aware about that. This is helpful, as I am in the process of building up my touring bike around a SDT frame for next years big journey across Europe and Asia! I might give it another thought than, especially, because I was already trying hard to not dislike the current singular (blue) color offering. However, I feel I could also not imagine not getting the STD…

Although there is an anchor point on the frame that avoids using the torque arm, I’ve decided not to include the Trucker because it doesn’t have a means of tightening the chain without a chain tensioner. But thanks for the suggestion in any case!

Cheers from Germany 🙂

I’ve just added carbon drive compatibility and the Carver Ti All Road to the list. Thanks for the suggestions!

They don’t all appear to have this. I see a belt drive as one of the key reasons to run a Rohloff hub.

Carver Ti All-Road is another choice via its Paragon sliding dropouts (same as the Soma frame, but note that the picture above doesn’t show the Rohloff inserts), and it has a stay splitter as an option. The Paragon dropouts let you change between a Rohloff and a regular derailleur system without getting a new frame.
