are available for tandem use (assuming that the frame spacing is
135mm). The
(eg CC-T or TS EX-T ). The
tandem versions come with shifter cables of 2.5m in length. The number of spoke holes is
still 32 or 36 (see wheel stability). For stability reasons the use of double butted DD spokes 2.0/1.8/2.0mm.is
recommended.
The correct spoke lengths for 26” wheels are readily availible from Rohloff dealers. Spokes for 28” are available
from a number of quality manufacturers (Sapim /DT Swiss):
Wheels with a smaller diameter than 26” should only use a one cross lacing pattern, because this helps to keep the
spoke at the correct angle against the rim. Radial lacing of the
is not permitted. The
should not be laced into a wheel smaller than 18” in diameter, because, due to the
hubs large flange diameter, the spokes would enter the rim at a too accute of an angle.
Through the use of two chainrings with a size difference of approx. 7% (racing cranksets with 39 and 34 tooth
chainrings) the change in gear ratio increases could reduce from 13.6% by approx. half. This additional feature is
interesting for road racing applications.
In extreme riding conditions, where the use of a greater gear range is necessary, it is possible to use the
in conjunction with two chainrings. This increases the number of actual gears by about two.
When applying this feature, make sure that there is a difference of approx. 13% between chainring sizes for one
additional gear and approx 29% for two additional gears (eg 50/39 chainrings).
The Schlumpf Speed-drive/High Speed drive works like two chainrings with a large difference in size. With the
additional transmisson of 1:1.65 or 1:2.5 the gear ratio of the
used in conjunction
with the Schlumpf Speed-drive will be increased to 868% or 1315%. It is still important not to undercut the
smallest permitted sprocket ratios (see "sprocket ratios").
Should the
be mounted within the frame itself, the smallest permitted sprocket
ratios from the cranks to the gearbox must not be undercut (see ‘sprocket ratios’). Sprockets used for the
transmission from the gearbox to the rear wheel can be of any size.
The use of a trailer mount in conjunction with the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 is normally not a problem!
However, the problem could arise with different types of trailer models where the long torque arm (when in use)
must be carefully adapted. In case of queries please refer back to the manufacturer of the bicycle trailer to find out
if they have any experience or special adapters for the mounting in conjunction with the
Alternately refer to www.rohloff.de - FAQ > SPEEDHUB > TRAILER.
A bicycle stand which is mounted directly on the rear axle of the
SPEEDHUB 500/14 is available from
the company Point bike innovation GmbH, phone 0049 2206 95800. (Bicycle stand Cd93 black, adjustable for
26” - 28”). The SPEEDHUB axleplate “TS long” with the longer thread should be used together with this sort of
bicycle stand.

rub against the hub shell. This rubbing effect could result in deep brush marks appearing
upon the hub shell, possibly eventually wearing completely through it! This damage could lead to accidents
through oil leakage or even a complete blockage of the gear unit itself.

The Rohloff Shifter (Art. #8206/8207) is approved for carbon handelbar use.
It is especially important to use a concentric mounted chainring when utilizing an eccentric BB or adjustable
dropouts, otherwise the chain tension could vary extremely. The chain tension should be set so that the chain has
approximately 10mm play when lightly pushed from underneath and under no pressure.
If using adjustable dropouts in collaboration with the internal gear mech, then it is important to check that there is
enough room for the cable adjusters to accomodate the moving of the rear wheel as the chain wears/stretches.(if
not, the housing may have to be shortened).
When utilizing a bicycle equipped with a “
belt transmission, it is important to adhere to
the manufacturers instructions printed within the owners manual.
