My new trike is outfitted with a Rohloff hub. While I'm generally quite happy with it, the gear-shifting controller is awkwardly mounted IMO. Right now it's on the handle of the right-hand handlebar. Being a tadpole trike, that handlebar is oriented vertically (more or less). Twisting the grip in that orientation creates a muscle strain in my forearm and elbow, so I'm wondering whether there are alternatives for controlling the gearing on the Rohloff.

For example, bar-end shifting would be ideal for me, but I'm told that nothing can be changed. But I find that hard to believe.

So, so do any of you with a Rohloff on your tadpole trike have the gear-shifting modified to make it more comfortable? If so, what did you change? And where did you get the modification done?

Thanks!
