Just removed the Powertube 500 from my brand new 2020 Delite Rohloff for the first time. Hoping to find it had a removable rubber cover so I could get an aftermarket spare Powertube 500 for longer rides. I went for the single 500 Delite because I like the simplicity of the frame and to give me...

Hi mate. It’s YOU! Great to see the Tees Mouth and your ride. Been clear beautiful skies over here in Cumbria since all the cars stopped! But still always better weather in the East. Remain a Yorkshireman, even though the road grate outside my house has Lancashire County Council stamped on it...

Hey there Mr MountainDweller. Is that the same Mr MountainDweller of Saltburn that me and my brother bumped into last end of September on the prom at Redcar??? We were walking his fab Fox Terrier and were amazed to spot you on the blue R&M Supercharger. It was a super bright day and you were...

Update of R&M Delite production in these unprecedented times: Finally got to speak to the owner of my bike store. The Delite production has understandably been pushed back. Ordered early Jan. Original delivery target mid Feb. Production then pushed back to w/c 9th March. Now due to Covid...

With huge swathes of most continents now in various states of extended lockdown, many folk on here will be experiencing something they and none of their forebears have known before. Going for a bike ride just changed a whole lot. Perhaps it would be interesting and maybe even therapeutic to...

Hey Chris. Thanks for the encouraging message. Sorry not replied sooner... stuff seems a bit chaotic these first few days of lockdown, and I’m not even trying to work! Sounds like you have got the ship steadied for now, but no doubt new issues constantly rearing up. Hope that urban wilderness...

Special shout out Chris. You are number 1. You even beat the famous Alaskan fella by a whole 2 minutes 🤣 Jeez, mate. You must have your hands full at the minute with family, team and two outlets to find miracles for. And you still made time for a detailed, kind and personable reply on here...

Thanks Mister Alaskan. Your responses are always measured and comprehensive and full of passion 👍 Like Chris says... stay safe and sane.

Thanks everyone for such a quick and thoughtful response. Really heartening. Sounds like in the States you have this delivery to customer option well figured. My retailer part building and checking the bike then repackaging and finding a suitable courier, all makes me a little nervous - when I...

First up: I hope all in this community and your loved ones stay safe and in good spirits through this crazy challenging time. I want to interrogate your experienced minds about shipping a new R&M Delite direct to customer from bike retailer. I see this is fairly commonplace in the States but...

Excellent. Thanks Marc. That Magura clamp seems to be widely available in Europe too. So it will secure the M99 switch to the Delite bars for sure?

Hi. Received my Nicolai E14 Trigger Adapter in January. Thing of lightweight German engineering beauty, if a little pricey!!! But unlike you I have no Rohloff Delite... due end of March. So looks like both of us need to figure how to refix the M99 switch. I’ve got a broken M99 switch on my Load...

Hi there Dylanmac. I don’t have much previous experience with eBikes or cargo bikes but I got a Load 60 Vario just before Christmas. It is a 2020 model year bike with the Gen 4 motor Cargo Line. My uphill performance hasn’t been as good as hoped. But I have some seriously steep hills round...

Ha. Your audience knows you well. Not a jealous chap, but that E14 sounds sooo nice. OK: Yes, I am jealous. Do love the Vario, the tweakability is amazing. Always in the sweet gear. The price is good too for access into the carefree world of CarbonDrive. Just those crazy slopes ☹️. Wish that...

Thanks dblhelix. Looks like that’s from the BlockLock install video. Thanks also for the offer to walk through. Being so new at this game I’m going to take to the dealer for service after 400 miles, there are couple of other niggles need ironing. Cheers. Love the passion of folk on this forum.

Hey Chris. Thanks so much for the immediate reply. Very reassuring to hear this from “Mr Load”. I googled as you suggested and got the installation video. Looks like the centring issue is several levels down from final state. Need a big headset tool. So will take this info to dealer. Thanks to...

Hi Folks. New here, so hope this is posted in the correct place. Had my new 2020 Load 60 Vario GX Dual for a week now, and it’s everything Chris says... fab fun machine. Super capable, super stable and super comfortable. Been through lots of arduous conditions and terrain already and it just...
