An update. I remember there is someone in the village who is a qualified bike mechanic, so I got him to do the job (I did pay him, plus next time I see him in the pub I will buy him a pint).

Does anyone have some tips on how to change the pedals on a SC2 GX Rohloff? There is nowhere to attach a pedal spanner as far as I can tell, so getting purchase to loosen the Allen nuts is not easy.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to mount a Garmin radar to a Supercharger 2 GX? There is not enough room to mount to the seat post.

Thanks! I have fallen in love with her!
