    Delite and Homage 5

    It is easy to change the shifter. However you have to use an Android app to update the software on the Rohloff in order to do electronic recalibrations. The new Rohloff trigger shifter is superb (even better than the Pinion shifter on the Delite 5 as you can shift up and drown with your thumb...

    Has anyone tried the new Rohloff E14 Trigger Shifter

    I have been using it now for 3 weeks and it is a really good upgrade.

I have contacted Rohloff and I am...

    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.

    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...

    superdelite frame size help

    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...
