6.4.2 Checking and Readjusting.
Multi-speed hubs need not be adjusted very often. The adjusting
mechanism is mainly located at the hub (a) or at the gear box. There are
two (red) marks which have to be brought into alignment by adjusting the
cable directly at the lever or twist grip (see adjustment of the derailleur
gear). Carefully read the operating instructions of the gear manufacturer.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, please contact a bicycle
specialist shop of your trust!
Regularly check the reliable t of the bolted connection of the
hub and the torque arm to the frame (b).
If you have a Rohloff speed hub, be sure to make an oil change
annually or after 5,000 km (3,100 miles). If you are in doubt or
if you have any questions, please contact a bicycle specialist
shop of your trust!
6.5 Combined Derailleur/Hub Gears.
These gear systems combine the properties of both gear systems.
There is one shifter that is intended to switch the speed hub, whereas a
second shifter operates either the front derailleur of the derailleur gear or
the rear derailleur.
The Shimano Intego system (c+d) is available with a free-wheel only,
i.e. the free-wheel hub is combined with a hand activated V- or roller
brake.
The SRAM Dual Drive system is also available with a free-wheel only,
i.e. the free-wheel hub is combined with a hand activated V-, disc or
drum brake.
Make yourself familiar with your gear system and the brakes in
a place free of trafc.
The proper adjustment of the derailleur-hub gear system is a
job best left to a skilled mechanic. Before doing any adjusting,
be sure to read the instructions of the gear manufacturer.
