General Technical / Re: removing downtube shifter cable stop
« Last post by B cereus on November 30, 2025, 06:14:01 PM »
They locate on the square shoulders of the braze-on bosses and can be difficult to remove because of the thickness of the factory paint finish. Once you have removed the two M5 dome head hex bolts try gently tapping from behind, tap alternately from opposite sides.

General Technical / removing downtube shifter cable stop
« Last post by AdrianStone on November 30, 2025, 05:23:19 PM »
Hi - I have a 1995 Club Tour on which the frame needs stripping and re-coated.  I've not done anything like this before, but want to have a go at removing as much stuff as I can before asking the LBS.

I've come to a bit of a stop with the downtube shifter cable stops, my understanding is that they should just pull off. Is it just a case of easing off with a suitable screwdriver? The frame will be having a new powder coat, so not too worried about chipping the coating, but I'd like to be as gentle as possible!

Hopefully a photo attached as I cannot work out how to insert an image!

Thanks

Ive not experienced this behaviour before but suggest you go to the following link

https://www.rohloff.de/en/service/handbook/faqs

then go to
>trouble shooting>free spinning (after a gear change)

which might help. If not then refer problem to Rohloff/Rohloff dealer.

Rohloff Internal Hub Gears / Strange behaviour with 12 year old Rohloff Thorne bike

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

Lighting and Electronics / Re: likely water damage in Son 28 on tour any advice

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