    Tyre choice-R&M Delite

    Thanks for all your replies. I have mudguards (fenders) on my Delite, so I will have to go with as close to 2.35 (inches I presume?) as possible. I've found some Schwalbe Smart Sams online for £17.99 each which I'm happy with. They are 27.5 × 2.25 inches wide. Will the 0.1 inch difference in...

    Tyre choice-R&M Delite

    My Delite is fitted with Rock Razor tyres (27.5 × 2.35-650B). I'm just wondering what choices I have other than the Rock Razors? I'd like something with a little less rolling resistance as I mostly ride on public roads here in the UK. What would you all recommend? Thanks.

    Delite GX Rohloff front/rear sprocket teeth number

    Hi, Could someone please confirm for me the number of teeth on the rear splined Rohloff sprocket and the front Bosch CX front hub sprocket. It's a 2018 model. R & M say that the front is 22 teeth and the rear is 18 teeth. Just wanted to confirm this with someone who has had to fit new ones. Thanks.

    Delite GX Rohloff chain tension

    What is the pivot? I have a plastic covered ball bearing that the chain runs over (a chain roller is maybe what it's called) but I don't know what the pivot is. Also I spoke to R&M about fitting the same chain tensioner as on the mountain Rohloff. They replied that Now that I know how easy the...

    Delite GX Rohloff chain tension

    So I've just had a go at adjusting the tension. Here is what I did. 1/ Turned the bike upside down. 2/ Measured the distance between the dropout slider edge and the frame edge on both sides. This serves as a reference to see if the slider is actually moving. 3/ There is a small square hole at...

    Work stand for Delite?

    I'd like to buy myself a workstand that would accomodate my R&M Delite AND my conventional round tubed (Renolds 531) touring bike. Do any of the park tools stands allow square tubing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    Possible to upgrade R&M Delite Rohloff from mechanical to electronic gearshifter ?

    I have just asked R&M about a possible future E-14 upgrade. I have been told that this is not being offered to the market as Bosch will not allow firmware upgrades to the motor controller by dealers as they do not have the rights to do this. R&M say they will not offer to do this directly...

    Delite GX Rohloff chain tension

    Mine is the same as yours where the chain is tensioned manually by moving the wheel backwards. I just want to know how tight the chain should be. Is 25mm of up and down movement about right (on a NEW chain) or is it correct as long as the chain does NOT touch the swing arm EVER.

    Delite GX Rohloff chain tension

    I have just bought a Delite GX Rohloff bike and would like to keep an eye on the chain tension (standard chain tensioner). Is there a quick way of assessing the tension of the chain? I know on my motorcycle I can use a ruler to measure the tension but there is no such guidance on the Delite...
