isn't it rohloff
so its the same width as a normal hub then... 
If you're concerned about weight, Rohloff hubs won't fix that. As far and the derailleur goes, the Rohloff tensioner is a lot stronger but you don't want to break it.
If you are concerned about weight, i wouldnt get a rohloff. It weighs more then a hub/cassette/derrailleur setup.
And it is the same size as a normal hub, or else it wouldn't fit between your dropouts.
Just get deore derrailleurs.

PM stiff, he has a rohloff on a bighit.
yo can get XT;s off the net for cheaper then that, also if it keeps happening get a short cage or just buy cheaper Deraileurs
It weighs less that a full deore/Xt setup supisingly. It's also incredibly tough.
Over the past eh....5 months or so, I think Stiff has had about 10x more problems with his Rohloff/tensioner/shifterbox than I've had with my 105 derailleurs. He loves it, but honestly, I don't think it's any less of a pain in the ass than busting a $32 derailleur every other month.
yea that shift thing dangling out back on a 24" bike might not be the best combo
Like DßR said, 105's are fairly cheap. ( $38 at jensonusa) and the short cage helps alot if you bash derallieurs. I used too, got a 105, and haven't since. (This may be because I havent ridden in like a week
) Deores are also good, and are really cheap ( around $20). If you have the cash and want to spring for the Rohloff, I would say go for it; but you might wanna check with Stiff, etc. who have actually run one because I have only heard good things about them.

Road derailers didnt work out for me.
Yes they are more out of the way and dont get hit as often.
The problem is they are weak as.
One tap on a rock and a road derailer is toasted (105, ultegra short cage are what I've used).
105/Ultegra lasted me 3 months each.
My XTR-RD-M952-GS (med cage) is on its last legs after 12 months. Follow my XTR/dura-ace hybrid thread as this might be the ultimate solution to your problem.
FYI I also ride a bighit and yes the 24 inch wheel makes the derailer more susceptable to impacts.
Also frankford bike have XTR m952 derailers for $75 each.
IMO they will hold up significantly better than 105 or XT.

That definitly makes sense to me, but my 105 has taken a coupla bashes and is all scratched up with a big gouge taken out of it and its still fine...
