Rohloff tension adjuster

The Rohloff cable adjuster is used as an adjuster for the straight cable holder (8260) and the cantilever cable holder (8259) which are required for the internal shift cable routing.

On the versions with internal shift control, the cable adjusters are located on the cable counterholder. Depending on the version of the bicycle, this is mounted on the left brake socket or on the left chain stay.

Mounting instructions

Screw in the tension adjusters from above with a little grease. Align the counterholder so that the cable adjusters point in the direction of the cable guides of the gearbox.

Both tension adjusters should be screwed approx. two turns out of the tension counterholder.

The shift cable tension is adjusted by turning the tension adjusters. Unscrewing the tension adjusters increases the tension of the shift cable. For easy shifting, adjust the shift cable tension so that a turning play of about 5 mm can be felt when turning the shifting handle. The marking on the shifting handle can be aligned with the numbers without changing the shifting tension by turning one of the tension adjusters in and the other out by the same amount.

Attention
Too much shift cable tension increases the friction in the shift cables and thus the shifting force.
