Rohloff Hub: Has anybody actually been able to remove the insides?
(PeteCresswell) Wrote: Just curious. There are all those little Torx screws an theoretically, the working part can be removed for cheaper shipping.... but I wonder i anybody has actually been able to remove it. In the same vein, has anybody been able to change their sprocket? -- PeteCresswell Hi Pete I have not actually taken the guts out, but the manual says to replac the paper gasket when re installing. Therefore, I would suggest havin one of those on hand, or, alternatively, it shouldn't be too hard t make one out of gasket material. As for removing the sprocket, you will need a sprocket removal tool looks similar to a bmx sprocket removal tool) and a chain whip. Th sprocket tool holds the spindle while the sprocket is threaded off wit the chain whip. I take mine off periodically and turn it around to kee the wear even on both sides. As far as I know, all but the 13 toot size are reversible. Da -- Dan Burkhart |

Per Dan Burkhart:

Still measures like a new chain As I have found with my other internally geared hub, chains seem to las a lot longer when they run a straight line all the time. Da -- Dan Burkhart |

Rohloff Hub: Has anybody actually been able to remove the insides?
Once you have the needed tool, removing the sprocket is easy, as it has a
very steeply pitched thread and is pretty easy to remove even after many kilometres. The cog is reversible - I flipped mine over after I had been through two chains to put the wear on the other side of the teeth. I also had mine apart to replace the gear change cable after the first three or so years of use. Wasn't sure that it needed changing, and once I had it apart it looked to still be in good condition,k but I was about to go touring on the hub and I was already past Rohloff's suggested interval for changing the cable...
