Yeah we've had the gearbox off and shifted it with spanners.
I'll suggest the oil flush to him then, he should be a bit happier doing that I imagine. I just thought degreaser as the remaining oil is quite grubby (though not with metal particulate).
I dunno how much of a rohloff fan Ben is, worth taking to him at least though. Not sure when I'm next working with the hubs owner but will bring all this up.
Cheers.

@m_v yep that's the email I have for him. Did you and your mate follow the regular "service" procedure, i.e. flush oil (50ml I think) and run it thru all the gears and then drain the flush oil and replace with the proper oil?
If it's an external gearbox it might be worth remoing the gearbox and changing gears using a box spanner and that way you can rule out cable/shifter issues.
I'd avoid a de-grease the flush oil is much safer and provided its run through all the gears should reach everywhere inside the hub.
Isn't the guy at Kinetics a Rohloff fan, he might be an option for advice?
let us know how you get on.
