Rohloff Internal Hub Gears / Re: oil puddle during sprocket change
« Last post by PH on May 18, 2024, 12:01:29 pm »Just an idea, rather than a theory - Maybe the oil that was behind the sprocket was already there? maybe it wasn't the fresh oil you'd just added.
E-wan may never need to unscrew the carrier again, so advice on doing so may be redundant. Though just for interest, I use the squeeze method for breaking the bond, wheel on lap, chainwhip and spanner close together and squeeze with both hands.

If normal should I now perform another oil change to replace the lost oil?If you've bought bulk oil and want the reassurance, it'd do no harm and isn't a huge expense. I don't think it necessary, Rohloff say that even if you lost all the oil there would be enough coating the parts to last till your next scheduled oil change. The oil change method I use, similar to that recommended by Andy Blance, only leaves 7ml of lose oil in the hub, I'm pretty sure that's all disappeared before it's due for a change.
