    Where to get R&M parts?

    I’ve been waiting on a set of laptop batteries since the fall, originally ordered in September for delivery October or early November, now hoping for February… and this is all having paid in full in advance. {Sigh}

    Where to get R&M parts?

    I had to buy longer bolts to go through the cargo box on my load 75 - I ended up using 5mm thickness 30mm bolts and they worked perfectly to go through the Fabric plastic heads when used with a washer and a matching nut on the other side (inside the cargo box). I actually posted a thread about...

    Pannier bags on R&M Multicharger

    Another idea: given the unusual length of the rack, maybe you could actually get a set of the 72 liter Ortlieb recumbent bags on there, which would give you a lot of volume but also keep them high off the ground and out of the way? Likely not as big as the R&M bags but easy to mount & high...

    Bosch Bug/Support

    Indeed, Bosch will provide support directly, and did in theory though they stopped responding (for reasons I cannot fathom here - even if they thought I was mistaken or wanted to punt me to R&M, they should have said so...). But in the end I got support directly from R&M - you can contact...

    Changing crank length and primary gear reduction on Rohloff/Gates equipped 2021 Homage GT with Class-1 CX Gen-4 motor.

    On my Load 75 the right lever is the rear brake, not the front brake which is what that lever is on a motorcycle or scooter. Or were you wondering if R&M deliver them with right/front in the EU? If so, that would suggest maybe they have the right cable and/or hose lengths and we could just buy...

    Changing crank length and primary gear reduction on Rohloff/Gates equipped 2021 Homage GT with Class-1 CX Gen-4 motor.

    I have the same issue! 40 years of motorcycling, this is not something I want to unlearn…

    Changing crank length and primary gear reduction on Rohloff/Gates equipped 2021 Homage GT with Class-1 CX Gen-4 motor.

    So did this happen yet? I feel like the gearing on the Rohloff Load is already low enough for me given that it starts with the 55, in 1st I’m going slow enough to be borderline balance constrained with the dog up front, and my cadence is lower than yours, but very curious to hear the results!

    Load 60 suspension upgrades

    On top of what @JVBulman rightly observes, I’d say definitely ride it stock for a bit before upgrading. I find the rear suspension on my recently received 75 surprisingly well tuned though I’m not riding it on any really rough terrain - and coil setups don’t have the stiction that air shocks do...

    Bosch Bug/Support

    Yes, exactly. (And thanks for responding. 🙂 )

    Bosch Bug/Support

    I've encountered an interesting bug in the eBike Connect app and was corresponding with Bosch about it and they went dark. Anyone else experience this? The issue is this. I purchased the extra custom modes app add-on for eBike Connect. However, the custom modes only allow up to 340% assist...

    Rohloff e-14 oil leak

    Whether that’s true or not, if you buy a bike from R&M, the warranty is provided by R&M on the complete bike as best I can tell. If they were to say they don’t stand behind the included components provided by third parties, this would also include the brakes, the electric drive system, and most...

    Fabric Water Bottles on Load 75

    In case anyone is wondering, I picked up a Fabric 750ml bottle to mount on my Load 75 and initially found it wouldn’t go on because the bolts were too short to go through the cargo box. So I ordered some bolts, nuts & washers and started playing, then had to order a second round and finally got...

    Changing crank length and primary gear reduction on Rohloff/Gates equipped 2021 Homage GT with Class-1 CX Gen-4 motor.

    Ah, whoops, missed that. That’s… strange, to me, but ok, hopefully they will provide the support then!

    Rohloff e-14 oil leak

    Hopefully they get it sorted for you @mountaindweller. This is my first E-14 but my third Rohloff and I love them dearly.

    Rohloff e-14 oil leak

    I'm kinda curious about this thinking too @JVBulman - my E-14 Rohloff is fine other than occasionally clunky shifts (after the under 200 miles it has on it so far... clearly still breaking in, both myself and the hub 😉), but while I agree any oil leakage is something Rohloff should be...

    Changing crank length and primary gear reduction on Rohloff/Gates equipped 2021 Homage GT with Class-1 CX Gen-4 motor.

    What makes you think R&M are the ones who need to support reprogramming as opposed to Bosch? Best, Jim

    R&M Bosch power socket rubber cap - design flaw

    Yep, the problem is the lack of an actual hinge - plastic generally doesn't fold well. If this hasn't been solved by the time I get to Europe in the summer, I may order a few for delivery to my hotel as a community service... 😅

    Anyone using MIK bags with a Load?

    Thanks, and I think it doesn’t matter too terribly as there are plenty of other bag options, just didn’t make sense to me. I think the answer may be just that *some* R&M racks are MIK compatible, but not all!

    Anyone using MIK bags with a Load?

    Thanks, and that’s odd, maybe this was my mistake - I thought R&M racks were MIK compatible without the adapter? (And I swear I also read someone’s review somewhere of an MIK bag going right onto their R&M rack with no adapter needed…) @Tubbs did you need to use an adapter on your rack to get...

    Anyone using MIK bags with a Load?

    Thanks for replying @DiggyGun, here are a couple of photos - the MIK mount, I think, is comprised of the placement of those three bars, but as you can see, the front bar is actually under the seat. Every photo I can find online of an MIK bag has the rack far enough out that the mount is behind...
