Rohloff Hub Abnormal Noise Verification

To verify if the noise is abnormal, first differentiate it from normal operational sounds like the whirring in gears 1-7 or freewheel clicking. Document the specific gears in which the noise occurs, whether the sound is constant or rhythmic, and if it correlates with the cadence of your pedal strokes. If the hub is new, confirm if it has exceeded the 500-1,000 km break-in period. Ensure the noise is not being amplified by the bicycle frame before concluding the hub itself is the source of the sound.
