It should not be hard.
My Rohloff gear box is run in well.
It should not be hard.
My Rohloff gear box is run in well.
A bit of oil into the cables does not help.
Changing gears gets harder and harder, becomes impossible.
Are the cables broken there?
I fail to open the black box.
Two star screws hold it tightly closed.
Grr.
And yes, the cable is badly ragged inside the box.
The weight of my swag has stressed the cable too much.
That is at the other side of the globe, an odd 20,000 kilometers from here.
The nearest one is in Port Augusta.
It might have the right cables.
Port Augusta is near, yet a day's walk from Quorn.
So, improvise!
What is left is a thin cable with some loose ends.
How to keep those loose ends confined?
If only I could put a sock on it.
A piece of rubber perhaps? No, that won't slide well.
A bit of leukoplast perhaps? No, the cable will be to thick.
But it should be a thin, metal version.
And it is not to hard to make a metal band-aid out of some tin foil and glue.
The band-aid is off already at installation.
So I will have to change gears using loose ends till Port Augusta.
Or do I have to go back to Adelaide?
Or even back to the Netherlands?
