A cycling friend has a Rohloff with an X-Box (not on a Thorn obviously) with 1 the highest gear and 14 the lowest.
This is contrary is it not ?
How does one go about swapping it to what is the convention ?
-
The shifter cables at the hub appear to be reversed. When I changed my cables a few years ago, I accidentally got my cables reversed at the hub. I had to disconnect my cables and switch them at the hub.

Yep, done that and it's annoying enough to not do it again, but no big deal to reverse.
-
Ha ha. Yes, I've done this when putting the bike back together after a flight from UK to Ethiopia.
The gear changer had shifted and I connected the connectors the wrong way around.
No big problem to correct.
But a strange experience cycling so fast in first gear.

A bit more of a hassle if it's external shifting (Is that what's meant by X-box?) needs the cables re-threading into the pulley.

Thanks for input.
Studying YOUTUBE for the vid on how to do it !
(Which come to think of it is what I should have done in the first place !)

Yup, youtube is great for some of this stuff. With help from youtube a couple weeks ago I avoided a couple hundred dollar labor fee on my Land Rover D2.
