Strange Rohloff Sensation when Pulling Away

[macspud]

Have you tried it in first gear, that should make the pedals turn the most, I think? Doing the test in different gears will at least give you more info to pass onto Rohloff in your enquiry. If you can keep a note of how much the rotation is in each gear and the amount of pedal rotation varies as you go up through the gears, then Rohloff may be able to diagnose where the problem lies, knowing as they do, which planatary gears etc are ingaged in each gear.

Sam, my Rohloff developed a similar symptom while on tour, although I would describe it as a 'slurring' of the gearchange - a weird creamy sensation underfoot (like churning butter I imagine) but accompanied by a jarring 'clunk' when the gear actually engaged. The problem was resolved by removing the wheel and giving the axle ends a few very hefty whacks with the sole of my shoe. Rohloff recommended using a rubber mallet but, hey, on tour you've gotta improvise.
