Whether you’re running a lightweight bikepacking setup, front and rear panniers for a fully loaded ’round-the-world’ tour or just stripped back to thrash some forest trails the Big Bro can handle it.
As of January 2023 Brother offer a Rohloff specific dropout set (available to purchase as an extra) which makes the Big Bro compatible with the Rohloff 135mm Speedhub with OEM axle plate. Please email us if you have any questions about this.
