I'll report back when my Rohloff has a thousand miles or so on it and

The cables are adjusted just like the chain: *just a bit of

Apparently one can send the Rohloff hub away to get a softer spring
fitted to give a smoother gearchange.

If your serial number = 18100 you already have the weaker indexing
spring.

Changes from 7 to 8 and 8 to 7 require a brief lift
on the pedals or the box might drop you into 14, which could be
dangerous in traffic.

The 7-8 shift issue is not a big deal. *And if your serial number =
33000,
you get gear 11 rather than 14 in the middle of a 7-8 shift.

Thanks, Tom. Oddly, the corresponding English page seems to stop after
talking about the chain tensioner. That'll teach me always to consult
the original, and not just what the translator thought would be good
for me to know. -- AJ
