No way was I prepared to shell out for that especially since the new gears were the higher gears. But the 28t chainring does undercut rohloff specs nicely as well so not an option either for me.

"It may be a while before the factory in Taiwan tools up larger CRs, but I may
be able to get some made locally if I can consolidate requests.
What size(s) do you think would be best?
I can't promise when they might be available, but I am working on it.
I designed the spline / snapring mounting system to allow easy removal and
replacement of various CRs.
Thankyou very much for your interest!!!"
