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.

Thanks!

It has brake lights. I am happy bleeding the brakes.

Thanks. It not an HS model, so would replacing the assembly be a DIY job?

I had a slight mishap on my Supercharger 2 this morning, and part of the clamp holding the left (rear) brake lever to the handlebar has sheared off leaving part of one of the bolts in the remaining part of the clamp. Using a cable tie I have fixed it for now, but what part do I need to order to...

It has proved to be excellent. My ride to work can be described as hilly (as other than for about one mile it is either going up or down hill.).

My rear light occupies that position, and I don't think that there is enough space to mount that even in a vertical position.

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.

It has been a sunny, if not that warm, day here in West Wales. Here are some pics from my ride home from work. I am very fortunate that my journey is nearly all along country lanes. One part of the route takes me through a wildlife centre, some of which is car free.

Thanks everyone!

I got good advice last time I asked for help on choosing panniers for my Supercharger 2. The consensus was Ortlieb backrollers would be good and so they have proved to be. I am now after advice on adding a mirror to the right hand side of the bike (I ride in the UK). The grips currently fitted...

Thanks! I have fallen in love with her!

Sorry :) It is a fantastic bike. I thought it would be good, but it is far better than I expected. It is hilly round here, and it went up the steepest hills with ease yesterday, admittedly in turbo!

My Supercharger 2 has now arrived. I can't stop grinning!

"I used "time" in a figurative sense, not literal. You seemed to have missed that. The thing you and Matt don't understand is that the energy use (or requirement) is a function of elevation change and speed. At the speeds a bike will go up a hill, drag from wind won't be a big factor compared to...

On a circular route the amount of climbing will be matched by the amount of descending, but that there is nothing that requires the climbs to be of equal slope or distance.

I have spoken to Dan, the owner of Edemo as a well, and he was very friendly and offered helpful advice, even pointing out that for the everyday use I planned on using the bike for a cheaper model was more than adequate. It is just unfortunate I am not yet in a position to place an order!
