I have left this behind for a Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 and I'm not looking back. The chain runs inside a Hebie Chainglider protected from the elements and is lubricated with a nice mineral oil. I can run this setup without any maintenance whatsoever for 2000km in every weather. The Rohloff itself will likely outlive me, provided it gets its oil change every 5000 km or so. I do utility cycling and long distance tour cycling.
