    Shorter cranks on SuperCharger 2

    I changed to Hope 155 cranks on my Superdelite, 3 years ago after a damaged meniscus in my left knee. This was a very good move for me and I have ridden 4000 miles with them. For older riders who are shorter than average this is a very good modification.

    I have just fitted Super Trail 2.6 Nobby Nic (front) and a 2.6 Rock Razor ( Rear) on my Superdelite with Tannus Liners.....no problem fitting these under the original mudguards. So far I am really pleased with this setup.

    350 miles later the belt has come off again, so my LBS is ordering a new one and will recheck the tension. Thanks for everyone’s helpful comments and advice.

    R&M SD Belt keeps coming off

    I also just experienced my Gates belt slipping inboard off the centre of the rear sprocket on my Superdelite. I was able to ride home but it was disconcerting as I was originally thinking some had gone wrong with the Rohloff ! I think it was caused when a small branch got entangled with the rear...

    I am 5'7" with a 29 inch inside leg measurement and the 47cm frame is perfect for reach and standover height. I have the Fox suspension but did not select the GX version as I didn't want the extra 40 mm height. I had my LBS install the latest 100mm Fox Dropper post which is nice...

    Will a Thule EasyFold XT 2 fit a 2020/2021 Superdelite?

    Here is a photo of my wife’s new Nevo 3 on the Thule rack if that helps. I also use it for my 49 cm Charger 3. I know the wheelbase of the superdelite is slightly bigger but I think it should fit ok. I am thinking of upgrading my Charger 3 to the SD.
