I have a couple of theories on the e-14 issues and oil leak in general
1. The axle is not installed correctly / alignment is off when the electronic shifter is installed. Over time it leads to oil leaks. Even a 0.25 mm tolerance issue will leak over time - fatigue failure.
2. When put on ebikes, I think the hubs take more beating in general. Small particulate matter adds up and clogs the seal. Over time the seal gets dry, and fails.
thoughts? There is definitely more to this than just rohloff. I know other hubs aren’t doing better with ebikes either.
