Shimano Nexus 3-speed hub problems
I previously wrote about the problems with my Shimano 3-speed hub here and here. I recently had the shifter mechanism replaced for my Nexus 3-speed and still I cannot get first gear.
There have been some improvements however as a result of this change. The gear changes are more consistent and there is not longer any "play" in the mechanism when I have selected fist gear.
I noticed this post from a Shimano 3-speed hub owner who is having trouble with shifting the hub into 1st gear. She replaced the shifter and has tried different adjustments but is still having trouble with it. If the cable is moving to the correct position, perhaps there is a problem in the hub? Maybe needs a cleaning and regreasing?

This problem started when my hub was very new so eventually it was replaced under warranty, after a replacement of the shifter did not fix the problem. The new hub is fine so far, it is early days yet, but I am hopeful that it will be solved. I am not sure that using a basket could have caused the whole problem but that is what triggered it, it seems.
