Re: [RBW] Re: Rohloff IGH Questions

Get rid of the GB shifter; get a Rohloff shifter. Very likely this will ease shifting. I've seen this problem on a few GB setups and issues were solved with swapping out for a rohloff shifter. It may be that in these cases the recabling is what fixed the issue, but unlikely because in two

[RBW] Re: Rohloff IGH Questions

I continue to be drawn to a Rohloph IGH for a new bike. One aspect that slows me down is getting the OEM2 torque arm fixed to the frame. I much much much prefer a clean install over the unsightly long extension links that I see, strapped to the left chainstay on many installs. And I have no

I’ll jump into the Rohloff discussion with a few of my data points: I have two Dean bikes with Rohloffs, a mtb and a randonneur. My mtb is a 29er and weighs 36# with dual suspension and S couplers while my rando weighs 31# with fenders over 32mm tires, dyno hub, S couplers and f/r lights.

[RBW] Re: Rohloff IGH Questions

Something is wrong. The cables, I agree, are probably way too tight. As for the "non-shifting" issue, try removing the external shift box (Assuming you have the external shift box.) Put the bike in the workstand and try pedaling and shifting with a box end wrench. If the probably persists,

Another multi-Rohloff owner chiming in here. First, regarding shifting effort, it definitely requires more effort than a derailer or a Shimano IGH, but the reason is that you are feeling the effort required to change the gears in the hub itself, as opposed to just advancing the indexing in the

Steve, I don't have a Rohloff and have never ridden one, but the tactile description of shifting and not engaging triggered a memory that may or may not be accurate, but I had an recumbent trike with an IG BB, and I tactilly recall incorporating a brief, quick backpedal or stop pedal into the
