Default Alfine 11 hub skipping under hard pedaling

Dear All,

Thank you for your comments and advice. I investigated a little more and
I have isolated the skipping to the 8th gear. It only happens after
pedaling for a while so it is hard to replicate on a stand. Now, every
time it happens, I change the adjustment a little and experiment with
the frequency of the skips.

Also, as you suggested, I need to change the oil. The Shimano or Rohloff
oils are ridiculously expensive, so I have found this alternative at a
reasonable price:

Liqui Moly 1401 GL4 SAE 80 W Transmission Oil

For about $10 per quart it will allow me to rinse the hub more than once
and more change the oil. What do you think?

Many thanks again

Dimitris


Should work fine if the viscosity is similar to the shimano oil.

Good luck.
