http://www.bike24.com through one of your other posts after I had already replied here. Were they easy to deal with and how did you decide what extra's you req to fit to your bike?
I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them over the past couple of years and they've always been very good to deal with. When I ordered the hub before Christmas it got caught up in the Christmas mail and the heavy European snowfalls and did not arrive until later in Jan. I contacted them re. the situation and they were quite helpful.
I bought the 500/14 CC OEM EX - meaning it has a QR axle, a torque plate to suit OEM drop-outs and an external gear box. This should all work on your Troll as well. I must admit though, after getting it set up I had a rethink about the value of my rear wheel and replaced the QR with Pitlock security skewers. There were no extras otherwise that I needed to get for the hub. Oh, I have bought a Rohloff sprocket tool (but won't neeed it for a while) and as the hub was from a German store the manual was in German. The English manual (in PDF) can be downloaded for free from the Rohloff website.

Yes, I bought some heavy duty Rigida Andra 30 CSS rims in 32 hole.
BTW, I was not charged any GST on the hub, even though it was just over the $1000 threshold for imported goods
