So it’s not really getting the same amount of use as say a Rohloff on a road bike or that. The Rohloff is mounted inside the frame of a bike kinda hidden from a lot of the usual shit.
Having stripped it today, I think the Rohloff ring looks ok, the aluminium one bolted to the carrier is defo past it best and I’m going to renew the freewheel at the back too.
I might get the Rohloff ring too just to be safe and I’m gonna order a service kit for the Rohloff too.
Hopefully it doesn’t have to go off to Germany that really wouldn’t be ideal and warranty wise it’s probs about 15 years old so I doubt it’s under warranty now!
I’ve attached some images of bike and the Rohloff!

That is mad and cool

What are the cables like? Stiff? Is the tension set correctly too so there’s not too much slack?
Sometimes we’d get incomplete shifts from dodgy cabling
When was the last oil change?

I worry that this could be flawed logic. The one that I was inside of, which had basically been round the world, was pretty spotless inside so I don’t think the service intervals are based upon expected ingress of “shit”.
You should be able to remove the cables and part of the shift box leaving a little hex ‘stub’(?) that you should be able to turn to shift the hub into each gear. If you can do that with the hub in place in the bike and test ride it in each gear then it would be a way of eliminating or conforming the shifting hardware as the source of your problems.
The 24t ring looks a bit worn but also like its teeth are plenty high enough to be retaining the chain adequately? Who knows, I’d be surprised if it was the source of your problem, let’s put it that way.

Sounds like what my colleagues did after a couple big tours and zero maintenance.
Rohloff said his was out of warranty and that repair cost was likely to be about 95% the cost of a new hub. In the end he was without it for a very long time, it was unclear whether this was the fault of Rohloff or the intermediary dealer that he went through (I could hazard a guess!) but it was fixed and returned all at no cost.
During the process of him communicating with rohloff about it I opened the hub up to see if there was anything obvious and it was a joy to work on compared to an alfine so it’s doubly frustrating that spares support for anything beyond the cover plate is basically zero.
