I’ll pick GT Rohloff HS, dualbattery, Nyon, comfort kit (no extra charge), dropper seat post. Though I like Fox suspension, step through is much more attractive as I’m getting older and older. Comparing to SD, I prefer this new Homage 😅😅
Finally, 2021 Homage is posted on R-M website! No Fox suspension upgrade, but many changes. I’ve configured one, which costs $11193 similar price to SD.
Ravi, thank you very much for your encouraging post, which makes me desire back to Rohloff 😜😜. But I live in Iowa. The closest store selling R-M is 200 miles away in Madison, WI, that is not a very big store. I wonder whether they can handle Rohloff well.
I hope Rohloff is OK generally. Any product won’t be perfect. You are just unlucky and get a problem one. However, no matter how low the problem rate is, you’ll have 100% of problem if you happen to get it. It’s very hard to make this decision, especially considering the bad services with...
Thank you so much for your valuable information from your first hand experience! I’ll ride on most flat road without steep hills. I like speedy, but 28 mph is good enough to me. Based on these situation, a Vario should be ok? Is vario reliable? In case something goes wrong with it, can a regular...
Yes. I read your post on another thread about how you dealt with leaking of Rohloff, which makes me hesitate to buy Rohloff. I read a statement from Rohloff company, which said it’s not uncommon and not a big deal. I have still not decided which one I should take. Comparing with Rohloff, what’s...
Alaskan,
I’ve read many of your posts and learned a lot. You have long time experiences on R-M bikes. Does R-M increase price on Sept 1 every year for next year model? I’m planning to buy a SD HS Rohloff. Is it better to order it before Sept 1 to avoid increase in the price? The reason I...
David, I really like step-through of Homage. I’m closing to 70, so easy low step through is much better. Unfortunately, no Fox suspension upgrade for Homage. I like smoother and more comfortable ride. If Homage has Fox suspension option, I WIIL buy it but not Superdelite.
Yesterday, I drove 200 miles to test ride a Delite GT vario HS with Fox suspension, a Homage GT vario. The shop has only these two models. As comparing , I also tested Trek Allent +9.9S ($5999.99). I definitely like Delite and I’m going to order a SuperDelite GT Rohloff HS with Fox suspension...
Thank you very much for your input, David! I’ve read many posts of yours and learned a lot. Thanks for your other informative posts, too! What tires are you using now for your Homage? What punctured your stock Razor last year? Off road?
Thank you very much Jay! Your information is very helpful. I don’t think I’ll ride fast either. The reason I plan to buy HS is that I’m afraid I may regret in case I need go fast occasionally. I have that function as back up. I watched video by Chris about Tennus. How have you put them in? In a...
Thank you very much, Lumos! Puncture protection is a big issue for the off road tires. I really need to think about it seriously. Thanks again for your valuable information!
