Project update: After a couple of missed calls, my LBS finally managed to get my bike hooked up to the R&M computer through the interwebs and downloaded the software updates into my bike which is required for the Bosch drive system to recognize the new primary belt drive ratio. The charge to...

If you are based in the USA, check out Propel Bicycles as a source for the frame blanking covers. https://propelbikes.com/product/riese-muller-powertube-transport-cover/ Hope that helps.

Yes, the CX motor assistance is limited to 20mph. But No, the Performance Line Speed motor does not have lower torque output. The MAIN difference between the two motors is the availability of adaptive power modes in the CX motor versus flat rate support percentages in all modes on the Speed...

1) Yes, the dual-battery model can be run with just a single battery installed. The single battery can be mounted in either side of the frame. 2) The rubber covers are mounted to the battery case, and have no way to be attached to the frame if removed from the case. R&M does sell...

Back in the days of externally routed metal cables to actuate the brakes, it was quite easy for me to flip the actuation on my own. And per Stefan Mikes, the UK and Australian bikes are the only ones which come from the factory with the brakes set up the "Correct" way round to match motorcycles...

I stand corrected! Thank you!

And yes, as show in the spreadsheet clips in my first posting, the Rohloff equipped Load models come stock with 55/19 (2.89) versus the 60/19 (3.16) gearing on the Homage and DeLite models equipped with a Rohloff hub. So your Load's stock gearing is already 8.3% lower than my stock gearing (or...

My understanding was that EU bicycles come with the front brake being actuated by the right hand lever, which matches the motorcycle standard. Am I mistaken?

Not yet. With the holiday hours for both R&M and my shop, they could not coordinate a date till January 6th. Given the fact that there is currently snow falling in Wisconsin with predicted high temps only reaching around 10-F this weekend, I can wait. While they have the bike, they are...

Crank length and seat height/drop is much more related to your inseam versus overall height. I am just over 5'-10" (1.78m), but seem to have a shorter than normal inseam for my height of only 28" (711mm). My preference is for either 160mm or even the set of 155mm cranks I have tried with my...

Just heard from R&M today, and they are going to authorize the change to the belt drive sprocket ratio on my Rohloff/Gates/CX equipped 2021 Homage. Now just waiting for the LBS to coordinate with them so that R&M can remote into my bike to download the required software changes. I am...

Latest News: Heard today that R&M is authorizing the change to the primary gearing change. Currently working with my LBS to schedule a time for R&M to connect to my bike remotely to download the changes needed. I am STOKED!!! 🚴‍♂️

The number should actually be printed on the back of the belt, but could have been worn down from rubbing on the tensioner pulley to where it is hard to read. If you cannot read the printing on the back of the belt, you could spend the time to count the teeth by placing a mark (white...

Evidently more humor is not always better either... I was addressing Apparatschik's specific application, and attempting to make a joke at the same time. Next time I will be more clear when trying to be funny... :rolleyes: 😆 Also, if you had been following closely, you would have seen that...

Jim, If you had read the second post of this thread you would have seen that I called Bosch first, and they confirmed that the manufacturer is the one responsible for maintaining that part of the programming. Post #2 Cheers!

I'm no rocket surgeon, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! 😆 Ok, I do have to admit to being a mechanical engineer who has had a life-long love of cycling both pedal and engine powered. So, I tend to enjoy playing around with the way my machines function, as well as trying to...

I think that you will appreciate the extra dropper travel as well. More is always better, right? ;)

Rohloff threaded sprocket adapter ring arrived in the mail last night and the bike was put back together with the new 55/24 gearing installed. As expected, a quick test ride showed that the Bosch control system along with the Rohloff E14 integrated shifting is not happy with the new gearing and...

Just for fun {and because I LOVE playing with spreadsheets and gathering data!} I updated my spreadsheet to include some lower primary gear ratio options. Here is the result: You can now compare several more options for your Delight Mountain Rohloff!!! Notes: - The differences from stock...

Which dropper post will fit/work for you depends strongly on what your seat height setting is. In the spreadsheet chart attached, there are some other possible dropper posts to consider if you have not already purchased the Tellis. ----- For me, I seem to have a fairly short inseam for my...
