Gear shifting stuck after tyre change - help please.

(1/2) > >>

Hello

The shifter won't move out of 14th following a tyre change.

The part at the end of the cable (which attaches to the external shifter box) rotates ok when I turn the gear selector, but nothings happens when I connect to box.

Can someone advise please ?

Thanks

Donerol:
With a Rohloff you need to remember to set the gear to either 1 or 14 before you remove the wheel. Then when you connect the cables up again it is easy to do it correctly, at least it is with the internal cables that I have - I don't know about the Ex-box. You may have to use a spanner to shift the gear to 14 before re-connecting your cables.

Sorry, I realise that's not much help, but I wanted to reassure you that you won't have damaged anything. Someone will be along soon to give you more useful advice.

Taken it to bike shop to be looked at (only chance I had to drop it off there).

Probably something daft I did when rushing to take wheel off (but I'm sure it was in gear 14). Something related to Ex box and/or cable connector..

mickeg:
It is possible that it really is in gear 1, not 14.  If you get on the bike and pedal a few meters, you will know if you are in a really low gear or a really high gear.  If that is the case, disconnect the EX box, turn the shifter to gear 1, reassemble.

If it really is in gear 14, I have no other suggestions.

JimK:
the simplest explanation would be that while you had things apart, the shifter on the handlebar got spun around to 1. If you reconnect with the shifter at 1 and the hub at 14, you will be totally stuck! No big deal, just disconnect the ex box, spin the shifter to 14, and reconnect.
