Awesome job Craig at explaining this Marvel. When I first saw this hub I put it in the same category as the rubik's cube, impossible to understand. But after a few hours of studying the parts and a couple of good videos like yours it all came together. Thanks for taking the time to make them and sharing them with the rest of us. Take care, God bless!
Hi Craig great video good work i am getting me and my girlfriends thorn bikes equipped with rohloff hubs and everyone says they cant be home repaired and makes out they are spaceship technology but i refused to think so, i refuse to pay to have anything fixed and after watching your video its a piece of cake!, and a lot less parts then a car gearbox thats for sure haha. Nice work thanks for taking the time to make this video. Cheers Mike.
Thank you, very useful indeed. Had to strip mine down, didn’t realise how easy it was. Great tip with the magnet, I’d have been struggling for a long time otherwise
Great video of a great product! I've already done 160.000 km with a Rohloff and it stil goes strong without a single flaw. Just the regular oil change and a new cable once and a while is all the trick it needs. Imho a Rohloff hub is the greatest tech leap ever found on a bicycle since Dunlop invented a sausage with no ends and pressed air in it.
Awesome video and I think you so much for taking the time to do this. My only comment relates to the seals. I wish you could have touched on the seals just a bit. I have two older Speedhubs bought in 2003, and have always been plagued with leaking. The US Rep replaced the seals, but the leakage still continues unabated. More recently, one started leaking on the disc side and wets the rotor, and ruins the brake pads. I still love my hubs, tho - I just hit 52,000 on one and 29,000 on the other.
At 10:40 you remove ring gear 3. Do those two parts that make up that ring gear (the metallic shiny inner part and the black outer part) separate easily on your hub too? On my hub they do and I noticed, because they seem loosely connected, they caused a bit of a height difference resulting in the washer ring (at the 9:28 mark) that sits on top of this ring gear to deform a little bit. I also noticed other thin washer rings not being very flat too. I'm suspecting this to be the cause of some irregular ticking noises, but maybe this is all by design?
Nice video! My Rohloff keeps making this crunching noice occasionally and it feels like it skips some inner teeth. Warranty has expired so I may have to take it apart and see whats going on.
I have a rohloff. But I noticed the bearings inside. Bearings go horrible over time. I thought the rohloff never needs to be opened for replacement parts or repair? There is no wear limit on international apparently it just gets better with age?
one can not buy the cap separately. If one wish to change the hub to disc brake one have to send them to Rohloff service. In the next few days I will produce other cap for Rohloff, which one can buy and install by self.
My Rohloff jumps slips when there is high force on the pedals. Happens in every gear. So I suspect it has something to do with freewheeling. How to repair ? Any Remarks ?
And how is it possible, to change the normal cap against a discbrake cap by myself ? In this video it look like you can not built the axle and the cap apart. Is it true ?
Absolute scrap circuit! Two times oil loss next to bike big puddles! 3 slips through the gears at full speed, almost had an accident! Not switchable from one second to the other 13-14 gear ..... Disadvantages of the Rohloff circuit! 1. Much too difficult! 2. Oil loss ..... again and again! 3. Too high a price for such scrap 4. If you are lucky, the 13 and 14 gears go from time to time! 5. Sending in every damage takes 2-5 weeks! 6. Rohloff is more broken than she is going!

Gotta say, when it comes to making a mechanical-pocket-watch-type-unit that will reliably drive a bike/trike, those krauts can't be beat!
Great, you are the only video of disassembly !!!
Great video
Great video. I had to tear mine down after I wrapped part of my rim into the space between the cog and hub (rim fell apart: worn too thin).
At 10:40 you remove ring gear 3. Do those two parts that make up that ring gear (the metallic shiny inner part and the black outer part) separate easily on your hub too?

Yeah, I'm NEVER going to take my hub apart, that's for sure. I'll rather pay Rohloff themselves to service it.

Goooooood

Great video.
But too bad that the axle mecchanism driving the different parts wasn't stripped too.
To be honest, it looks simpler compared to a 7,8,11 speed Nexus or Alfine IGH. Especially the disassembly is trickier with these Japanese IGHs
one can not buy the cap separately. If one wish to change the hub to disc brake
one have to send them to Rohloff service.
In the next few days I will produce other cap for Rohloff, which one can buy and install by self.
how did you remove the nut from axle, as it has locking compound?

One question. Why?
And how is it possible, to change the normal cap against a discbrake cap by myself ? In this video it look like you can not built the axle and the cap apart. Is it true ?
