Oil change
An oil change should be annually carried out or at least every 5000km. Through this
process it can be safe to say that there will always be enough oil in the hub regardless
of oil loss (due to sweat oil) and that any penetrated water will be rinsed out. For a
problem-free oil change we recommend the use of the Rohloff Oil Change Kit (Art.N°
8410).
The Oil Change Kit (8410) consists of:
POINTER
A: 25ml cleaning oil in a 50ml bottle*
B: 12.5ml Rohloff SPEEDHUB OIL
C: Oil filling tube
D: Syringe
E: Drain screw with the new seal
The oil filling tube should be placed over the syringe
and secured with a drop of super-glue before use.
* There will already be approx. 25ml fluid in the hub
(old oil and any penetrated moisture). After the
cleaning oil is also filled into the hub then there will
be approx. 37ml fluid to drain out. For this reason
the cleaning oil comes in a 50ml bottle so that the
old fluid can be drained out into this bottle for safe
disposal.
To change the oil, the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14
should be left at room temperature (because the oil
flows better). Turn the hub, so that the drain screw
can be seen on the top. Remove drain screw (3mm
allen key).
Draw the 25ml cleaning oil into the syringe, screw
the filling tube into the drain screw hole and fill the
cleaning oil into the hub. After this, use the syringe
to draw out a little air out into the syringe. Remove
the filling tube and refit the drain screw.
