Thanks. I managed to get it back together after a rather tense afternoon. The assembly of the upper stage of the second carrier was tricky. An o ring pick was helpful to raise the lower sun gear and allow the teeth of the planet gears to be rotated one at a time so that the upper sun gear could be put in place. The way the lower sun gear is positioned does affect how the upper gear was placed. You can test this by only installing the upper sun gear, and it fits in quite easily. In the end, rather than using the timing marks that made no obvious sense to me, I visually inspected whether the gears lined up. I looked up the timing mark postions and there's a forum on a top google search "timing marks rohloff" with a diagram to no avail. If someone does have the factory guidance we should really find a link for it. As well as suitable oil alternatives. Rohloff charging £4000/L is a bit much. Good luck!

For those who are worried they cannot get that planet carrier timed again after removing it here's a tip: Get a hot glue gun and glue the gears on that carrier in their current position. It's like a cast that keeps the gears from rotating. Worked like a charm here. The glue won't stick and is easily removed afterwards. Make sure the glue has somewhere (apart from the gears) to hook into so it won't fall of prematurely. On top of the carrier are those holes you can use. On more recent hubs there is a ball bearing connected to the driver (at the 9:00 minute mark) That bearing is press fitted and also needs to be press fitted back into the hub shell. That requires you to use a hammer and gently hammer the internals back into place while also taking note of the position of those 9 nylon rollers that need to line up with the hub shell. And on top of that the rubber seal at the end of the hub has a tendency to get dislodged while pushing the end that sticks out through. You need to manually push that seal back into place with something like the end of a tie wrap. Don't put the internals back into the hub shell without triple checking every millimeter if that seal is not being dislodged.

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?

Thank you for the video. I have two rohloff and one isn't disc so i was thinking just take off the "cup" of the disc and change between rohloff. Do you think that is easy to do?

I have a Rohloff hub that has recently been getting lost between gears. It is most pronounced after peddling hard in first gear and then shifting into 3rd, the pedals just free spin with no connection to the wheel momentarily and when I stop peddling it hooks up. I have removed the gear pack from the hub body. The plastic drive pins have a .003" imprint.Ring gears have a slight wobble to them. Everything is covered in black oily oxide, otherwise everything appears to be normal. I have not disassembled the gear stack yet. Do you have any advice?

Hey Craig...GREAT video!!! I would like to know at wich gear did you set the hub, so the pawls stay inside?

hey Craig thx for making this Video . Can you say me wich gear I have to choose before disambling? Because after servicing my rohloff I can shift only 6 gears from the highest to low an after gear 7 it returns to the highest gear ! I hope you can help me please . lg Mac

Hello Craig, Thank you for making this video! May i ask you how to set the time of this rohloff hub? I have 2 hubs wich i can't set on time. Please help.

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!

Thank you Craig for making this video. This hub/transmission looks daunting until you break it down into its individual components. You did a great job, far better than most at explaining this engineering marvel. Thanks young man, take care and God bless!

Nice job man 💪💪💪💪💪

oof...No way I'd attempt to take mine apart. lol. I'd screw it up so bad.

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

Now why didn't I think of that? Heck, all I do is click the shifter and boom I'm up or down easy peasy. Love this little beast.

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 ?

Since over 20 years I drove my Speedhub about 51.000 miles and from the beginning, as an engineer, I'm searching how it works. Thank you very much for showing this valueable movie and the hint, that the small planet wheel is marked (because in this position there is the cover in line of the theeth). Now, as I think I totally have understood how it works, again I bow my head in respect for this technical design. I think they had a very skilled mathematic to find all these gear combinations makeable.

Herr Rohloff must be kind of mechanical genius. But winning that reassambly challenge isn't that bad either.

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

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!

Great, you are the only video of disassembly !!!

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

Hi Craig. What is the torque power for screwing the hub cap screws?

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?

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).

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.

One question. Why?

wow dude, how many times have you done this? ever worked for cyclemonkey?

The indexing is not straightforward. It is only by chance it sometimes works the way shown. Do you have a reference for how to index the pinions?

After several hours I finaly put it back together. Onece yuo know the secret it is easy!

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.

Nice video Craig, I would like to know more about the timing marks. Becouse somehow I dont get it to work.

As a mechanical engineer, this is a thing of incredible beauty- 'nuff said!

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!

how did you remove the nut from axle, as it has locking compound?

Craig i,ve stripped my rolhoff hub per your youtube vid and am at the point of trick to timing and can,t get the gear to drop in HELLP i,m stuck in Turkey and can,t do anything tell it,s sorted

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.

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.

how much !

Great video. But too bad that the axle mecchanism driving the different parts wasn't stripped too.

Great video Too bad yet that the stripping didn't go until stripping the axle parts of command.

Very Gooooood

Goooooood

Great video
