    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    Hi there, we had very good weather the last days, unusually warm with up to 15C in my place, although in some shadowy spots we still have remains of the snow from two, three weeks ago. Anyway did my first tour of this year. 44km with the first 34km being flat or descending all on tarmac and the...

    2019–2020 R&M Homage : Riders' Impressions

    Thanks David, I always devour information on other ebikes. With regards to the KIOX, honestly I believe Bosch is charging enough to not release work in progress products. They should only release something once it is close to flawless, I find this disappointing. We are not paying beta tester...

    Nevo GT Vario, HS or Roloff?

    There are two reasons for me to buy a Rohloff: Money does not matter and I want to have an efficient, closed system with the best gear range and low maintenance. Or you regulary have to deal with steep climbs and here I mean really steep. I am living in a midrange mountain area going up to...

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    I will keep you posted, but I fear I will not ride the bike offroad before next year. I am living in an average mountain range in Germany and at the moment it is raining or snowing every day. It is dark outside when I go to work and on my return. So the maximum I do is riding on tarmac on the...

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    Smart Sams 65-584 are now installed, did a quick test on the road and found them not loud. Off road test will follow, right now it is raining every day and quite cold.

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    My Nevo is at the bike store for the first service. Discussed the tires again with them, they are big fans of the Smart Sam (folding tire with doubledefense for protection) for a mixed road/offroad usage. They will order them for me. Not sure if I can still test them this year, as it is already...

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    Looking forward to your feedback. I will likely go with the Smart Sam or Smart Sam plus. I want the good protection.

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    I am still undecided, whether to go knobby. Saw a video of a guy that took the Super Motos on offroad rides very similar to mine (forrest roads, gravel, roots etc.) and doing absolutely fine. A video review of the same tires on a Charger Mixte indicates the same. Maybe I keep them.

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    I think we have to make our own experience. Interpreting small differences in Schwalbes internal tire rating system cannot replace trying them. Having compared Schwalbes ratings several times now, I have concluded, that I will not make a decision based on a difference of 0.5 or 1 points. I have...

    Rock Razor vs Moto X tires

    Interesting discussion. Since two months I have a Nevo GH 2018, that came with the Super Moto X. It is the GreenGuard/DoubleDefense/wired version, that has a high protection rating in Schwalbes own rating system. I ride this bike much more offroad than I anticipated, but I am far away from...

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    Nevo GH 2018 here. No tools provided, except for a suspension pump and some plastic pieces for the brakes, when you transport without wheels. LBS added spacers to the stem for a more upright seating position. LBS installed a Rixen&Kaul saddle bag via an MIK adapter Amazon Link LBS patched out...

    Loving my Nevo GH

    Did another 40km this week-end, the SQLabs 621 Active worked well. So definitely an improvement, will keep it. I ride much more forest trails and gravel roads than I anticipated, so the next project is to replace the Super Moto Xs with Schwalbe Smart Sams. Wondering if 65-584 will fit, anybody...

    New Nevo uses Basil l MIK rear rack

    My Nevo GH (2018 model, not the new 2019 model with tube battery) was also delivered with the MIK system. Seems they do a quite radical and fast shift here. I do not have the compatibility issue with other bikes and my LBS installed the MIK adapter on my Rixen&Kaul bag when I picked the bike up.

    Loving my Nevo GH

    When I picked up my bike my Nevo they measured the optimal seating surface size for me. In my case the Selle Royale that came with the bike had the optimal width (18 cm) - however I found it uncomfortable already on my first tour. I swapped it for an SQLabs 621 Active of the same width -...

    Schwalbe Super Moto-X discontinued?

    I have the Super Moto X on my new Nevo GH, they are great on paved roads, which I ride 95% when touring with the family. When I am touring solo, I am more and more riding forrest trails, gravel etc. so far this was possible with the Super Moto X, but I am quite careful/slow. I am wondering if I...

    Loving my Nevo GH

    Happy with mine too, came last week. Tried various things to get a slightly more upright position. Ended up with an extended stem. 100km so far - best and most solid bike I ever owned. One pic attached.

    Hi, I am not sure, I can really judge this, as in my two years with eBikes I have never experienced negative feedback in discussions with friends or whilst riding them. From reading in German forums I know that there is the usual percentage of people, that have no clue what an eBike does and...

    Hi, that's a longer story: my wife and I always liked biking (casual) but since 10 years we are living in an average mountain range. Tours even just between 20 and 30 km often times require 300-700m altitude difference. Our place is surrounded by hills between 600 and 800 meters - not the best...
