I don't know exactly what's causing the cable to slip, but I think it's because I cut the cable sleeves a bit too short, so when I turn sharp (or when I crash) it tugs hard on the whole cable, perhaps causing the cable to slip at the derailleur. That or it's just the cold. Anyway, the cable slips, I adjust the rear cable tensioning screw, the cable slips, I adjust it again, and so on, until finally, like tonight, I just have to loosen the cable set screw itself, and reset it.
I'm sure Tim's smiling now, from the heights of his pricey Rohloff. Ah the life of a man prepared to pay the price to do it right. I can only aspire to such greatness. And smugly shake my head from a way down here in the land of derailleurs and pulleys and rear clusters.
I'm sure there's a metaphor here, but I've got a cluster to ...

I didn't get the Rohloff in order to look down on other bicyclists - it's just turning out to be an added perk. (Hey, that rhymes with jerk!)
Tim.
