Thanks for keeping the discussion public. I'm a Roholoff true believer - though I only have one - and am interested in hearing input and wisdom from this particular group too.
To take a stab at some of your questions: - The shifting can become very hard if the cables are too tight. Try loosening them. A lot. It takes some getting used to and you'll think you're being sloppy about your wrenching skills, but the precision doesn't come from the shifter. It's all indexed internally. - I experience the same "between gears" feeling that you describe when riding in extremely cold weather - like 10 degrees F or colder. I know the problem is that the oil bath is thickened and gummed up due to cold in my case, but perhaps its thick and gummed up due to age or dirt in your case? If you haven't already, and since it's used, you should try a good cleanse and replacement of the oil bath. Use the Rohloff cleaning oil. You can even use it to dilute the oil to make it thinner if it still "sticks" between shifts, which is now actually the new factory-recommended method for dealing with cold weather. A question for you too: I daydream about doing this to my quickbeam quite often. I see you used the long torque arm for rotation resistance. By any chance did you try or consider using the OEM axle plate, and using the long dropout slot to provide the rotation resistance? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
