SPEEDHUB500/14 "Quicker than the surf" France 1994. The atmosphere at the "Tour de France" was exhilarating and working with the teams and mechanics was exciting too. Our Rohloff S-L-T 99 chan has proven a success with its reliability! So at last, a couple of quiet days on theAtlantic coast. Why not take the Moutain bike on the beach?!Crazy idea, yes! Riding exactly where the surf runs out! After just 200m, total stand still! The rear wheel is stuck fast in the wet sand. Changing the gears impossible! Derailleur gears won’t work when you are stuck! The next wave came and both rider and bike received the first salt-water shower. Chain and sprockets are grinding full of fine sand. The next wave came - now nothing works. The waves were rolling in faster than we could change gears. Still, it must feel great to have the waves roll out under the bottom-bracket. This idea didn't let go of me. The lights were now burning bright and late into the night. The construction department in the Rohloff Company was working overtime. Successful gear changes and sprocket combinations were investigated. Mountainbike, downhill, touring and everyday riders were asked along with sports physicians: How many gears do you need and what has a gear hub got to be capable of in order to achieve maximum riding fun? 1997: findally we had our answer and put it to the test! Guess where... The rear wheel is stuck fast in the wet sand. The first wave is coming. Change the gears down while stuck. 1st gear, gentle on the pedals, riding further - 2nd - 3rd - 4th... These gears are quicker than the surf! 30km of beautiful sandy beach lay ahead of us. It is a great feeling to have the waves roll out under the bottom bracket!
