So, the local bike shop did the tire change and so removed the rear wheel and disconnected the Rohloff as required and then your first ride after tire change produced the Rohloff error code? That should put the blame on the bike shop but knowing how these things go, they deny responsibility and...

Overdue Update: I received the bike with a new Bosch motor in mid March 2023 and it was as new once again. In the interim I have put another 6K miles on the bike and other than another chain replacement it has been great. The chain with the Rohloff has always been my the one complaint about the...

Nice review ... Filbert Street in SF is often considered the steepest street in San Francisco, with a grade of 31.5%. It's tied with 22nd Street between Church and Vicksburg as the steepest street in the city. Apparently Eldrid St in Highland Park Ca has a 33% grade so you are somewhat correct...

I doubt they add dropper posts specifically for that purpose but having dropper posts on my 2 Reise & Muller SuperDelites the only use of the dropper is for ingress/egress. These bikes are not inherently good for black diamond Mt Bike trails ... nor am I. :cool:

I've found that forums are useful for problem diagnosis and resolution but it can often lead to misimpressions of a bike's (or component) quality, usability and reliability. I purchased a 2019 Delite GX extreme rohloff HS US in 2021. It was a demo bikewith 80 miles on it. I have ridden it over...

I'm pretty sure you are getting better use out of your ebike than 95% of ebike owners. The Warthogs are ideal for your mostly off road, desert/mountain riding. I've only added a back rack and 1 extra battery (just in case) as I want to keep it minimalist. I have a set of Tanus Armour inserts...

I had an original 2020 Leli MD 1000 with Sturmey Archer IGH (SA). I limped through the first 1200 miles with the SA IGH but it was doomed to fail and did. Leili sent me (for $300) a new back wheel and SRAM 9 speed that resolved the shifting issues with the SA IGH. By that time, I had really...

I'm selling my late 2021 Rush Cty Speed. PM me for info.

My R&M Delite GX extreme rohloff HS I've over 5700 miles on the bike I purchased in May 2021 but it;s a 2019 floor model that has external batteries and chain drive vs the newer model SUper Delite's with Gates Belt. It has been a great bike and I've only made 2 chain replacements with the...

My wife is a benevolent dictator ... :)

Actually it isn't bad ... I like to ride relatively fast so to keep up, she uses PAS 3&4 which would account for the range difference. The 2nd battery should be arriving soon so that will end all range anxiety with her Omega. It is a very quiet bike and we really appreciate that feature. Both of...

My wife is 200+ plus miles into her Omega experiment and really likes the bike. We did find that when riding in Assist level 3 and 4 (mostly 4) she only had 5% battery remaining on a 32 mile ride (she's 5.9" 140#). We have the 2nd battery/rack ordered and that will resolve the range issue but...

@KnobbyGuy Your single battery range is very encouraging, @ what level(s) of assist?. It's nice to have a battery percentage on the display rather than just the bars.

Tough call. The Omega is a more modern design and I really like their dual battery option (currently 50% off on the 2nd battery purchase). Range anxiety is a PITA and buying a bike with 70-100 mile range potential is a big consideration for me. I like to ride 40-50 miles 3-4 days a week and a...

Since the large stem of the bike is rotated 180 degrees (I assume for shipping purposes) the headset adjustment is a crucial step in setup. Thanks again for the fine Park Tool video.
