Pinion Oil Change with C-Series Gearbox and Cinq5 Shifter Tutorial
Changing the oil on your Pinion C1.12 speed gear box is something that you can easily do from home. Here at Co-Motion HQ, let us walk you through the process with a custom Divide model!
What you will need:
Pinion Gearbox Oil Change Kit - 60 ml: tinyurl.com/aj4h3y83
Oil Container
3mm Allen Key
Torque Wrench with 3mm bit
Loctite or similar medium-strength thread locker
Shop Towel or Rag
**Important Note!
If your bike does not use Cinq5 integrated shifters, you may notice that the front plate covers the top port. No worries, this cover will pop right off with a flat-head screw driver. Then, you can access that top filler/ vent port.
Have you had your eyes on owning a sweet bike with one of these Pinion gearboxes? Visit co-motion.com/ for info on all of our custom bike options.

    Nothing came out of mine. Suction, leaning, tipping, not one drop. To say that’s concerning is an understatement since it’s one year old and has only 1800 miles on it.

      Did you push a syringe full of air into the box prior to suction? I think the air exchange is the key here so you don't create a vacuum. If you try that and still get no oil out, I would add the 60ml of new oil.

    Wonderful video. Thank you for making these. Your paint choices and schemes are top notch. Keep up the good work! The negativity in the comments section is disappointing. Complaints about the Pinion? Then complain to PINION! Jesus, don't get mad at Co-Motion because you don't like the shifter Pinion spec'd. Oh and if you had ANY mechanical understanding of a gearbox, you'd know that there's a reason they're using a twist-shifter. I'll let you figure out the rest! No internal cables? Gee, Einstein, wanna figure out how to couple a bike with internal cables? Not feasible at all. Plus, people actually TOURING do not want the pain in the ass that is internal cable routing. But if you're into "super low drag coefficients of internal routing," then why exactly are you touring? Shouldn't you be at the cafe with the other wankers? And if you've ever bicycle toured, the LAST thing you want when a derailleur bites the dust or a cable gets toasted in the rain and mud, is INTERNAL cable routing. Total PIA. Ha, ha! Co-Motion, you keep doing what you're doing. Let the wankers buy their plastic Asian crap!

    The bike looks great but the shifter doesn't do it for me. If you're going downhill to an uphill you'll need to take your hands off the drops or the hoods to shift gears. Just doesn't seem efficient or as stable as it could me. Or if you are going uphill, gripping your bars or your drops and you need that easier gear, now you need to release the drops to adjust the bars losing leverage. I know 18 gears is a lot to shift through, but it doesn't seem efficient to me to release your bars when you're fighting the climb. Perhaps I'm wrong.

    • @co-motioncycles7269
      @co-motioncycles7269 Рік тому

      Appreciate the feedback. Keep in mind this isn't a singletrack slayer, it's an off-road touring bike. So, you likely won't need to change gears that quickly. This drop-bar shifter solved the problem of not being able to mount the Pinion made shifter on a road handlebar. It may not suit everyone but it does allow for drop handlebars to be used with the P-series gear boxes.

Lay the bike on it's right side. Pump the pre-measured oil into the vent hole (so you don't have to remove the adapter) while leaving the drain plug out so as to equalize the pressure.

It rained while I was there and I noted rusting of the front fork at the junction of the stem and the spacers under it. On reassembly I have covered those rusted areas with some grease. The sealant solidified in one of the wheels. I did air them down to allow the large 29ers to fit in the case. I did not even attempt to add any extras, bottle cages, fenders, or rack. I did bring a kickstand and a small tool kit. I was near the max weight limit. The 18 speed P18 worked well up many a hill.
