gear hub indicator rod substitution: rod too long?
Hi there,
I'm trying to repair an old bike mounting a Sachs Torpedo 3 gear hub. Some time ago I lost the plastic piece which connects the cable to the indicator rod and short after I also lost the indicator chain/rod which fits inside the hub. Now I found these two items on eBay, but when I tryed to mount the rod it was too long and looked out some millimeters (like in the pictures linked under): in the pictures the hub is in 3rd gear, this means that in 1st gear the rod would look out another centimeter (it's impossible to change gear with a transversal force) http://a972.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...33b9e19a03.jpg http://a70.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/...5a046611b5.jpg http://a516.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...cffed2f5d3.jpg I did a research on the internet and found two shops which sell this items as the indicator rod for the 3-speed gear hub: http://www.fahrrad-richter.de/produc...oducts_id=1097 http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-S...hain)-5066.htm http://www.sjscycles.co.uk//images/p...7toggle_xl.jpg if I compare them, my rod is evidently longer http://a665.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...2f00e05460.jpg http://a315.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...5118910b32.jpg my questions is: is this perhaps the rod for the 5-speed gear hub?or is there another reason why it looks out so much? is there a solution like changing the nut with a longer one or mounting something like this?-- http://www.dahon.com/components/deluxe/spectro.htm thanks Christian |
