Another Merlin Oreas build - Rohloff content

[DKFan]

The start of a new build, starting with a mint Merlin Oreas in my size 17.5 and Rohloff/King wheel set. The Merlin came to me complete although dated, and the Rohloff was set up with a long torque arm, very ugly. So first stage if to order all the bits to convert to Monkey bone, refresh the rotor and bolts etc and generally just refresh the hub. Plenty of bit from my other Oreas to transfer over if it works. Middleburn chainlink 50mm which I don't think is compatible with Rohloff.

So the Monkeybone and parts arrived today so a quick mock-up to see if it all works - which it does, and so much neater. One with old torque arms, other with bone - yes, orientation not right yet just
