Fitting the brake disc with an E-14

On a laced wheel, the E-14 shift unit has to come off to reach the brake disc. The order:

1. remove the shift unit,
2. remove the old disc,
3. fit the Rohloff disc,
4. refit the shift unit.

This guide assumes the e-bike system and every E-14 part work perfectly. The pictures leave out the spokes.

1. Removing the shift unit

See Removing and fitting the shift unit. Then carry on here.

2. Removing the old disc

1. Unscrew the disc’s four fixing bolts completely (5 mm Allen).

   

2. Take the disc off the disc cover. If a Rohloff magnet holder is fitted to it, move it to the new disc.

   

3. Fitting the Rohloff disc

1. Put the disc on the disc cover following the direction-of-rotation arrow, and line up its four holes with the threaded holes.

   

2. Bolt it on with the four Rohloff fixing bolts (Art. no. 8214), 5 mm Allen, at 10 Nm.

   

4. Refitting the shift unit
