Hi Guys,
I know this is an old thread but some of you guys seem to know a lot about this hub.
I've got a Shimano Nexus 8 Speed, the markings are SG-8R31
its mounted in a Gazelle Innergy Orange e-bike .. I'm not sure of the age, its a very nice bike but:
I've bought it second hand from eBay, and I think I've bought a bit of a pup
It was ok for about 5 minutes but it starting messing around in the gears.
I have it set up as it should be .. yellow spot to yellow line. (and I've twiddled it a whole lot to find a sweet spot)
The problem is that gears 1,2 & 3 are all the same .. 1 I imagine,
4 usually just does not engage i.e. slips.
5,6, 7 & 8 are all the same, seems like 5.
That was bad enough, but now when I shift up to 5 it just jams
It looks like this nexus box has had it or needs to be repaired by someone who knows what they are doing.
Can anyone advise me ?
I live near Cambridge
