    Vario vs Rohloff on Superdelite with GX option on steep fire roads/trails

    I have the 2020 Delite GX Vario with Fox and ride 80% trails (forest tracks, fire breaks and blue singletrack) and my steepest climb I have done (it occurs on most of my routes) is a road sign posted at 27deg and the vario does the trick. For my style of riding this combo works great. but if I...

    The Delite is such a great bike, and its good news Stephen that you got your forks back reasonably promptly, and hopefully fixed. Such a dissapointment I am sure after the wait for the bike to arrive. While Susie has the Aion 100mm suspension on her Homage, I went full monty and got the 140mm...

    Personally, I am good with the welding seams. Admittedly the darker colour on my Delite doesn't highlight them as much as the Superdelite photo provided as an example, but even then it speaks of substance WITH style.

    I lived in Sydney for 3 years, but at that time I never realised I would love riding so was oblivious to what the city offered for cycling! Yes plenty of off road cycling for sure here. Let us know if your repair works.

    My wife has the 100mm Suntour Aion and so far so good - only around 300km, mostly (maybe 80%) off road on forestry roads and green single track. I hope you get your forks back soon!

    Known Issues & Problems with Riese & Müller Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I did this on my Delite, and have found a comfortable compromise between my wife's wonderful Homage riding position and the originally set more aggressive Delite handlebars. After loosening the two bolts you have to pull the handlebars up quite firmly. They "click" between what sets like...

    E-bike recommendation: full suspension and belt drive?

    Interesting. Anyone with experience of this bike vs the R&M Delite? It looks like a more singletrack focused aggressive bike.

    Superdelite vs Homage Small Frame/Standover Height

    Again good advice David. I adjusted my Delite’s handlebars to be less agressive and found a good position for riding blue singletrack, but more upright like the Homage for casual road/rail trail riding.

    Superdelite vs Homage Small Frame/Standover Height

    The Gen 4 has a lot of torque, its the weight difference for sure. My wife squeels with delite when riding my Delite in turbo but really, at her weight she does not need it - the Gen 2 is more than sifficient,

    Superdelite vs Homage Small Frame/Standover Height

    @Allandpm , my wife, who is your height, has the 49cm Homage with Gen 2 motor, and I the 51cm 2020 Delite with the Gen 4 motor. On the Homage she rides with the seat approx 2cm higher than the lowest setting. On my bike the stand over height is too high for her. The smaller Superdelite...

    GPS tracker ideas

    Good points @webcurl . Probably the main chink in the armour is whether Apple lets you disable/or not disable people getting a message that your lost item is close. At least you would have the satisfaction of knowing you might have raised the thief's heart rate dangerously high. ;) With the...

    The rumoured Apple air tag still sounds promising. This from one of the apple rumour sites - “Will AirTags still work if my item is far away? Yes. If an item is not nearby and can't be located, you can put it into Lost Mode. In this mode, if another ‌iPhone‌ user comes across the list item...

    @Ebiker01 Was my initial thought also - a crowbar looks like it would make quick work of removing it.

    GPS tracker ideas

    Apple are rumoured to be working on a tracker with release sometime this year. Hopefully battery performance will be good and it is likely to have at least the functions that "find my iPhone" currently has - https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple/tag-tracker-3701850/
