Adjust eccentric to remove wheel

(1/3) > >>

ourclarioncall:
Is it true to remove a rear wheel on a rohloff nomad you have to make an adjustment on the eccentric to loosen the chain ?

Thanks

JohnR:
I can't see why this would be necessary as the rear drop-outs appear to be inclined slightly forward of vertical so that, as the wheel is moved out of the drop-outs the chain tension reduces. In addition, once the axle is clear of the drop-outs then the wheel can be moved forwards to get the chain off the sprocket.

At 45 seconds he seems to say an eccentric adjustment is required to take wheel off. Unless I’m misunderstanding

You don’t have to loosen the eccentric to remove a wheel. Sometimes if your chain is very tight it can be easier when putting the chain back on but I’d not do it routinely.

I agree that's what he says but I couldn't see what the drop-outs looked like as they were hidden by the panner. It looks to be a fairly old frame and the design not the same as more recent production.
