Fantastic video of a great ride! Thanks for bringing us along guys.

Congrats on your new purchase! Sounds like you're enjoying it so far - no doubt you will continue to like it. These R&M's are truly quality machines. I took delivery of my Delite GX Rohloff earlier this spring from Propel. Using it for a 19 mile (round trip) daily commute + pure recreation...

Just wanted to add my congrats on the 1000 milestone. I certainly have enjoyed your insights and research as you have been breaking in your Charger. These e-machines make commuting feasible and more enjoyable for us old(er) riders. Ongoing knee issues were keeping me from biking to work -...

Hey Matt - love that you're pushing the limits of your Delite. Due to a number of factors, most of which are not under my control, I've only got 500 miles on mine so far, which are mostly straight forward commuter runs. Interesting re: the Nyon. I would purchase it for the more detailed...

So, Rohloff Delite GX HS it was. I reached out to Chris Nolte of Propel and (at my prodding) he was kind enough to offer a modest discount on his floor model, but with the proviso that I had to wait for him to take delivery of another one before he sent the demo to me. Fair enough. Chris was...

Wow, how time flies! I've been looking for a chunk of time to do a comprehensive review of my GX Rohloff and it is just not happening. So, I'll just do it piecemeal as time permits. I've had the bike for maybe 5-6 weeks. Obviously, a quality piece of machinery, which it should be considering...

I'll definitely post my review of the Rohloff GX in this forum Matt as soon as I get some time to do so (Grrrrr. . .). Regarding the rack dimensions vis-à-vis the panniers - the R&M rack is shorter from top to bottom (vertically). I, too, find the bottom support piece of the rack to be oddly...

Yes Matt, got the bike two weeks ago. Chris Nolte was kind enough to have someone personally deliver it on a Sunday. Can't say enough about Chris . . . great guy, knowledgeable, responsive, caring. Like you, my delayed response to your last post is due to the email notifications mysteriously...

Way to go Matt! We got a bit more snow here in the NYC ex-burbs (two feet). Would have been fun to try out my GX on it - I image the Rock Razor tires would work well; however, the low clearance fenders would probably pack up with snow and rudely stop the proceedings. I knew you couldn't...

Yeah Matt, I certainly would have preferred the belt. The only experience I've had with a Gates belt drive was on a Harley I once owned. Apples and oranges, I know (motorcycle vs. bicycle), but it was a great improvement over chain lines. That said, I don't have an issue with a chain with the...

Not being familiar with them, I just took a look at the Super Moto-X tires on the Schwalbe site . They certainly would more than handle rail trails just fine - after all, these trails are pretty tame. I'm thinking they may be a good all around choice for me, but of course I'll run the Rock...

GX vs. GT: So Matt, I'm going to be interested in comparing your on-road experience with your GT vs. my GX. As a long time member and advocate for the Rails to Trails Conservancy, I love to get on these paths, which more often than not are ballast. Also, when touring in the West or Alaska...

O.K. Matt, Good idea - I'll post to this thread. Here's the funny thing: You've ridden my new bike, I have not! Just bought it this week (as a demo) totally on faith without a test ride. As you mentioned, there isn't much out there yet re: reviews. I've been looking for an ebike with the...

Regarding the Rohloff: I have been living with one on my Greenspeed trike for 8 years - in combination with a Schumph HS it gives me a full internally geared setup and has proven to be bulletproof over 20,000+ miles of hard touring and daily abuse. As Chris mentions, it does take a few hundred...

Congrats Matt! Looking forward to your impressions/review of the Delite. I just purchased the Rohloff Delite GX HS that is currently on Chris's floor. You probably demo'd it at the shop . . . don't want to hijack your thread, so as I get the chance, I'll start another one with details and my...
