Resurrecting an old favorite because the Schlumpf hub: setup thread got too technical and I reserve the Schlumpf hub: general thread for learning to ride the darn thing.
The more “mechanically challenged” of us need help ordering and using the tools to fine tune our new toy. A torque screw driver set like the Wiha 29114 (2 Nm handle) and the 28546 (2 mm metric hex blade) cost $50 and provides a life long warranty for lost shifting buttons.
So with the little wrench that comes with every hub to hold the other button against rotation and torque screw driver in hand, I begin to tighten the gold button first. Just when I was thinking “Boy, 2Nm seems really tight” I hear a single click (more like a pop). I sure hope that noise came from my screw driver because it sure sounded like it came from inside my hub.
Setting my tools aside, I roll the wheel around the deck shifting up and down by hand which seems to be a little harder. I pad up and take it to the street. Shifting is a little firmer but works fine. Whew! That made me nervous. I think I will trust the silver button is secure. That thing is going to have to fall off before I go torquing on it again. I hate tinkering with this thing! But, it sure is fun to ride!
