Rohloff Cable Box 8212 for the SPEEDHUB 500/14 external gear mech
Rohloff Cable Box, Art. 8212.

Why a genuine Rohloff cable box?

  • Complete unit. Rohloff supplies the box with the cable pulley 8218 and the two cable adjusters 8704 – you do not need to transfer old parts.
  • Quick wheel removal. The cable box detaches from the external transfer box with one knurled screw, so the rear wheel comes out without touching the cable setup.
  • Fine adjustment built in. The two cable adjusters set the cable tension (about 2 mm play at the twist shifter) and align the gear display.
  • Fits every DB SPEEDHUB. All disc brake (DB) versions of the SPEEDHUB 500/14 use the external gear mech, and this is its original cable box.

Who is it for?

  • Riders with a damaged cable box. After a crash, a fall on the drive side or rough transport, the cable box is the exposed part – replace it as a complete unit.
  • Touring riders far from a workshop. A spare cable box is small and solves a shifting failure in minutes on the road.
  • Workshops. Keep one in stock for external gear mech repairs on SPEEDHUB service jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a new cable box to replace the shifter cables?

No. The cables are clamped into the cable pulley inside the box; the box itself is reused. Replace it only if it is damaged.

Does it fit a SPEEDHUB with internal gear mech?

No. The internal gear mech uses hub cables, bayonet connectors and a cable guide instead of a cable box.

How do I refit it without losing the gear sequence?

Put the hub into gear 14 (turn the hexagonal peg on the external transfer box anticlockwise with an 8 mm wrench) and the twist shifter into gear 14, then place the cable box on the two locating pegs and tighten the knurled screw.

About Rohloff
