The Gears
6.2. Multi-Speed Hubs
One of the advantages of multi-speed hubs is their enclosed design
which prevents them from being soiled. Another advantage is the sim-
ple operation, i.e. all gears can be shifted through with one gear shifter.
The chain is not involved in the gear shifting, it is only important for
the force transmission and always runs on the same chainring/sprocket.
Due to these favourable factors, the chain lasts a lot longer than with
derailleur gears, provided regular care. Multi-speed hubs are availa-
ble in combination with freewheel and rim brake and with integrated
back-pedal brakes. The Rohloff gear hub and Shimano Alfine can also be
combined with disc brake.
6.2.1. Functioning and Operation
Multi-speed hubs are equipped with a twist grip or thumb shifter for
changing gears as well as with an indicator showing the current gear.
According to the hub manufacturer you can either continue pedalling
without load on the pedals or freewheel. For more information see the
operating instructions relating to the gears or ask your STEVENS dealer
for advice. In any case, make sure changing gears makes as little noise
as possible. Also observe the operating instructions of the gear manu-
facturer on the STEVENS CD-ROM.
6.2.2. Readjusting
The different gear steps are also adjusted via the cables. The systems of
different manufacturers differ a lot. The adjusting mechanism is mainly
located at the hub or at the gear shifter. There are two (red) marks which
have to be brought into alignment. Therefore also observe the operating
instructions of the gear manufacturer on the STEVENS CD-ROM. In case
of inquiries ask your STEVENS dealer for advice.
Danger:
Regularly check the reliable
fit of the bolted connection
of the hub or back-pedal
brake support at the frame
(brake torque arm).
Danger:
Make yourself familiar with
the gears in a place free
of traffic. Be sure to check
above all the brakes. If you
do so in road traffic, prac-
tising shifting and braking
might draw off your atten-
tion from possible risks.
