"Quicker than the surf"
France 1994. The atmosphere at the "Tour de France" was exhilarating and working with the
teams and mechanics was exciting too. Our
Rohloff S-L-T 99
chan has proven a success with
its reliability! So at last, a couple of quiet days on the Atlantic coast. Why not take the Moutain
bike on the beach?!Crazy idea, yes! Riding exactly where the surf runs out! After just 200m,
total stand still! The rear wheel is stuck fast in the wet sand. Changing the gears impossible!
Derailleur gears won’t work when you are stuck! The next wave came and both rider and bike
received the first salt-water shower. Chain and sprockets are grinding full of fine sand. The
next wave came - now nothing works. The waves were rolling in faster than we could change
gears.
Still, it must feel great to have the waves roll out under the bottom-bracket. This idea didn't let
go of me.

The lights were now burning bright and late into the night. The construction department in the
Rohloff Company was working overtime. Successful gear changes and sprocket
combinations were investigated. Mountainbike, downhill, touring and everyday riders were
asked along with sports physicians: How many gears do you need and what has a gear hub got
to be capable of in order to achieve maximum riding fun? 1997: findally we had our answer
and put it to the test! Guess where...
The rear wheel is stuck fast in the wet sand. The first wave is coming. Change the gears down
while stuck. 1st gear, gentle on the pedals, riding further - 2nd - 3rd - 4th... These gears are
quicker than the surf!
30 km of beautiful sandy beach lay ahead of us. It is a great feeling to have the waves roll out
under the bottom bracket!

Changing gears
Check regularly:
– That the is correctly and securely mounted in the frame (quick
release levermax. 7Nm) or axle nuts (30Nm-35Nm)).
All 14 gears of the are selectable through one twist shifter, so that
in one turn it is possible to change up or down by one or more gears.

The mark on the twist shifter casing next to the gear numbers informs the user of which gear
has been selected. The assembly instructions show the twist shifter being fitted to the right
hand side of the handlebars, however, in special circumstances it is possible to fit the twist
shifter to the left hand side. When rotating the twist shifter in the direction of #14, a harder,
faster gear is selected. When rotating the twist shifter in the direction of #1, an easier, slower
gear is selected.

that incorporate the use of a brake disc.
– That the hubs torque securing system is correctly fastened to the frame.
– That the brake surfaces are free from oil and grease.
– That the shifter cables and connectors are correctly and securely connected (bayonet
connectors or external gear mech).
In contrast to other gear systems on the market, with the there is
no delay between gear selection on the twist shifter and gear change in the hub. The moment
the notch can be felt in the twist shifter, the gear has been changed. Therefore a quick and
failure free gear change is possible whilst riding and also when stationary.
Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14
– That the parts on your bike are not damaged or failing to function properly as the result of an
accident. The use of damaged parts can result in further accidents occuring.
When changing, gear coupling elements inside the hub must move and when there is more
pressure on the pedals it is obvious there is more pressure on these coupling elements resulting
in a harder gear change. W stationary or when there is less pressure on the pedals, the twist
shifter has less resistance and therefore a lighter gear change is possible. In a situation
whereby it is not possible to reduce the pressure on the pedals (e.g. hill climbing), it is still
possible to change gear quickly and smoothly. Simply change gear when the cranks are in a
straight up-down position where hardly any pressure is being applied upon the pedals.

Changing gear with the
with pressure on the pedals is not
necessary when being used appropriately. However due to the robust construction of the
changing gear under pressure is possible and is not harmful to
the hub. It is however possible that when changing gears under high pressure the hub could
accidentally fall into a neutral gear, this is due to the coupling elements not seating correctly
into the next elements and therefore rebounding back. If this occurs the rider could lose
balance and crash. Changing gears under high pressure is at the riders own risk.
