Rohloff Torque Arm
The Rohloff Torque Arm (8230) is the long aluminium torque arm for SPEEDHUB 500/14 hubs with the standard axle plate – it carries the hub torque to the chainstay on frames without a special dropout or brake mount.
Why the long torque arm?
Fits almost any frame. The standard axle plate with long torque arm needs no special dropout – the classic way to fit a SPEEDHUB.
Many mounting positions. The row of holes lets you place the clamp where it suits your chainstay.
Bolts behind the axle plate. Rohloff specifies 7 Nm for the axle plate bolts (5 mm Allen key).
CC and TS versions. CC hubs fix the narrow end with a quick release; TS hubs with the torque arm clamp.
Wheel removal
Before removing the wheel, release the narrow end of the torque arm from the frame. With the quick release version on CC hubs this takes seconds.
Who is it for?
- Riders fitting a SPEEDHUB to a standard frame. The torque arm needs no special dropouts.
- Riders replacing a bent or lost arm. Genuine Rohloff replacement.
