Great to see this thread resuscitated! As one of the original contributors from 2017, I'm happy to report that my Delite GX HS ("manual" Rohloff) is, with basic routine maintenance, alive and well in its 5th riding season with 12K mileage now on it, which would be higher, but my office moved...

If I was to write this appraisal of the Thule XT-2 last week, it would have been a screaming negative rant . . . but now I'm more favorably inclined. But more on that in a moment. I bought an XT-2 in early 2017 a week after I got my Delite after learning immediately that my old Yakima was not...

I plan to have "everything wears out' inscribed on my tombstone . . . I've logged 10,000 miles/16,000 kilometers on my 2017 R&M GX Delite Rohloff HS (Bosch Gen 2 Performance Speed). Crank bearings are tight and no funky motor sounds. So far, so good. Of interest: Due to the five digit limit...

The standard for one wheel trailers has been BOB (Yak and Ibex). I've tried the Yak more than once, but was never impressed by them. The main difference between the BOB/Burley types and the Tout Terrain is the attachment point, see this review...

Tout Terrain specializes in touring bikes like the "Silk Road" and Peter has been handling the line for quite a few years now. Agreed that there's no way TT could survive on trailers only! Niche market, for sure.

Good suggestion for shipping work-around. Actually, I have a sister who lives in the U.K., so she probably could have helped. I may still have her do that since front panniers have their advantages too - and I own 2 sets of them . . . The rear rack on the Delite is very robust, but yeah, I'm...

Funny re: reply from Channing. Quite the character. I have a Delite GX Rohloff HS with 6,300 mostly commuting miles on it so far, though I'd happily put in more touring miles given the time . . . I had the Mule shipped by Cycle Monkey to me in NY. I know that Peter White in NH has them - he...

I've toured "self contained" extensively over the past 25 years using front and rear panniers - Arkel Expedition bags for most of that time. When I purchased my Delite in early 2017, the first thing I did was reach out to Old Man Mountain to see if they made a front rack for the Suntour Aion...

I did have an issue with my Delite GX Rohloff after the first 200 miles or so where the chain would jump the front chain ring or drop off to the side of the roller/tensioner while backing up the bike - although it would never happen while riding. This was early on last year and Chris hadn't...

The WTB Rangers look a lot like the Rock Razors, so the performance may not differ too much. But, they do come in 2.8" & 3.0". Worth a try. Also less expensive than the Schwalbes.

Sorry Dmitri. I looked at your post on my phone and somehow thought it was Matt A, who initiated this thread. Same color Delite, though I should have noticed the driveline (he has a Nuvinci). Chalk it up to the small image on my phone and my failing eyesight! Anyway, great to see you are...

Hey Matt! Good to hear from you. Looks like you've been having fun. Are those Rock Razors underneath the mud?

Yeah, there is a lot to be said for drive line simplicity and the ready availability of service and parts that a derailleur affords. But, despite the complexity of the thing, until I start having issues with the Rohloffs, I'm going to be willing to lay out the (albeit considerable) extra...

Agreed that the fenders would pack up with snow and put you down rudely. Still, I'm tempted to remount my Rock Razors and play in the next snowstorm. Good to hear from another Delite Rohloff owner. It seems that most folks are opting for the Nuvinci. As I've mentioned in previous posts...

Nice video Kelly - super helpful and detailed! Thanks for doing that. I did forget that you are in Canada, so was at first marveling at your speed - until I realized that your unit was km/hr, not mph of course. That still gets me when I first cross the border to visit my nephew in Quebec . ...

Guess we've all been busy - hopefully getting a lot of riding in. With one season under our belts, just wondering how the R&Ms are holding up for all. After a slow start, I was able to get into a consistent commuting routine by June and finished the season with 3,000+ miles on my Delite...

Thoroughly enjoying your reviews! I agree that these R&M machines are really nice. With 2500 miles on my Delite GX, I'm still (dare I say this) delighted with the bike. Doing 90% of my riding - mostly commuting - on the road, I did swap out the Rock Razors for Super Moto tires early on. The...

Mark - thanks for posting the trailway vids. Plans are in the works to extend this 43.7 connected Bronx-Westchester-Putnam route. My company, an engineering and land surveying firm, has been providing design services for a number of downstate NY trails, including the Hudson River Greenway on...
