Bicycle gears

21.2 Hub gears

This operating manual describes the use of

common commercial gear components on a

pedelec as an example.

If your components are different, you will

find specific information in the respective

operating manual or on the website of the

manufacturer.

If you have any questions about assembling,

maintaining, setting up or operating the gears,

please contact your pedelec specialist retailer.

21.2.1 Operating hub gears

21.2.1.1 Shimano 7/8 gear grip shift

(Nexus/Alfine)

To change gear, turn the gear lever in the de-

sired direction.

One turn towards the 1 results in less re-

quired pedal force, e.g. for uphill.

One turn towards the 7 results in more re-

quired pedal force, e.g. for downhill.

This gear concept from Shimano is generally

also applicable for the other manufacturers of

grip shift systems.

21.2.1.2 Shift lever 8/11 gear (Alfine)

The shift levers are equipped with the 2-WAY

RELEASE and MULTI RELEASE function, i.e.

with one movement two gears can be changed

and the lever can either be pushed or pulled.

Both levers (A) and (B) return to the starting

position after being applied.

• If the rear wheel of your

FLYER is difficult to turn, the

brake shoes and/or the hub

likely have to be greased. This work

should be done by a specialist retailer.

• Gears can also be changed while you

are pedalling. Take a little pressure

off the pedals during gear changes.

Otherwise, depending on the addi-

tional motor performance, the inter-

nal excess load protection system of

the hub may prevent the gear change.

In exceptional cases this can also

cause gear changing noises within

the hub. These noises are harmless.

• The chain has to be immediately

checked or tensed if it comes off

the sprockets. You are required to

completely replace the sprocket/

chain ring if the entire adjustment

range of the rear wheel is maxed

out in the frame.

Ensure that the correct lock

washer is installed on both

sides of the hub and the axle nut

is screwed on with the correct torque

(see chap. 33.3 “Torques for screwed

connections”).

If only one lock washer is fitted or

the torque is incorrect, this can lead to

failure. This can cause the hub to twist

in the rear fork. It is possible that the

handlebars may be pulled in one direc-

tion as a result of the twisted gear ca-

ble. In turn, this could result in a serious

accident.
