If the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 is delivered fitted in a complete bike, then it is already filled with oil. Individual hubs are also filled with oil if the note "SPEEDHUB -> already filled with oil" is printed on the original SPEEDHUB Owners Manual (01.10.2023).
Pointer
For a quick and clean filling of the oil or when changing the oil, we recommend the use of the Rohloff Oil Change Kit (Art. #8410).
Screw the oil filling tube into the oil drain hole and insert the nozzle of the oil bottle into the filling tube. Continually squeeze the oil bottle until the contents has been completely filled into the gearbox.
To fill the hub via syringe, fasten the oil filling tube to the syringe and secure it with a drop of superglue before use. Draw the SPEEDHUB OIL into the syringe, then screw the tube into the drain hole.
Squeeze the Rohloff SPEEDHUB OIL into the gearbox.
To equalize the air pressure within the hub, approx. 25ml of air should be drawn back into the syringe. This will prevent the oil from leaking out of the hub, when removing the filling tube.
