Rohloff Internal Hub Gears / Strange behaviour with 12 year old Rohloff Thorne bike
« Last post by swayzak on November 26, 2025, 10:28:28 PM »
Hello

I have recently noticed that when changing to a lower gear (below 7), the gear fails to engage initially

This results in sudden loss of resistance when pedaling - so my feet suddenly lurch forward on the pedals

A bit disconcerting as often happens when changing down when starting an ascent

It is only momentary, but didn't used to happen

And idea what is causing this? Could the gear hub have developed a fault?

Thanks

The light failed instantly, it wasn't a slow degradation of output, so probably not rust if that would damage hub slowly.

Not sure if I shared with this forum but I have been receiving Chemo for stomach cancer since June/July....Now awaiting a consultation with the surgeon next week for a future plan of action. Probably surgery.

Matt indeed had his surgery on 17 November and today wrote with wonderful news, asking me to update the Forum...

The operation went well and surgeon said he was pleased with my progress
Perhaps home in another 8 days

Best regards Mart

Yay! :) All best wishes for the speediest recovery, Matt!

ATB, Dan.

If condensation had got the stator / rotor damp then they may have rusted.  Rust on stators / rotors will reduce their efficiency so the output may have become too low to be useful.  It is a known problem on old motorbikes.
Or a corroded internal connection?
