Your questions - Our answers
Both versions of the Shift:R for Rohloff can only be mounted on Rohloff hubs with external shift control. Rohloff hubs can be converted from internal to external control. This has to be done by Rohloff, please contact your local service center.
The shift levers for the Tour and Road versions are identical between Pinion and Rohloff, however different Shift:R Boxes are required.
Yes, both levers are identical.
No, this is not possible.
This is caused by too much shift cable tension, causing one of the pawl mechanisms to remains in contact with the gears. Reduce the tension of the opposite (!) lever until the switching noise disappears. See instructions.
The cable tension is too high, reduce cable tension on both sides.
Depending on the pawl position, a bit of “backlash” can occur. That means, if you change shift direction then a small gap must be closed before shifting engages. If you can only shift one gear if you have not changed direction, increase the tension slightly. (see instructions)
Somtimes. Gearbox gears without a clutch cannot be shifted under high load, unlike derailleur systems. It is not necessary to completely stop un-weight your pedal stroke, only to reduce pressure.
Of course! Please note that in winter conditions the demands on the material and the possibility of corrosion are increased due to road salt. As with all components, this can results in increased maintenance and servicing costs.
Yes, that sound is the Shift:R Box ratchet returning into position for the next shift.
There is no reason not to use the Shift:R Tour on mountain bikes. That being said, the Shift:R Tour series is not necessarily designed for “advanced” or “hardcore” mountain biking in mind as the shifting behaviour in combination with the gearbox is not as defined, and the ability to shift under load is limited in comparison to a modern derailleur. Technically, however, there are no problems in this application.
We recommend checking the cables and lubricating the Shift:R Box annually with the maintenance of the gearbox or hub. Please refer to the care instructions in the product manual.
Commercially available shift cables can be used.
Absolutely not! Brake housing does not offer enough rigidity to allow sufficient shifting precision.
It is possible if you have experience with bicycle drivetrains and gearboxes. If in doubt, however, we always recommend going to a specialist.
