Hi,
Having problems with the Nexus inter-8 on my converted ebike. Does anyone have any experience on these hubs?
The set-up is a vertical drop-out bike with the shimano fitting kit and none-turn washers for vertical dropouts. 1/8 nexus chain, 4Jeri chain tensioner, standard chainwheel (which is apparently ok).
What happens is that the gears slip badly in every gear with even marginal pedalling force to the point that its unusable. Watching the chain tensioner when this happens it moves upwards against the string tension and then it flicks back down when the gear slips. At first I thought it was the tensioner but I've tried it without the tensioner fitted and got the same slipping problem.
The cable is correctly tensioned with the markers aligned. THe chain path is not 100% straight but not bad.
