Kuhn made a $1.1 mill offer, but the other side wants to be paid $0.50/ticket in perpetuity. I don't have the numbers for the operating costs, taxes etc, but it stands to reason that Kuhn feels it's too big of a bite. The C&O is a completely different experience outside of DC-Potomac and HP. No...

LOL, shop queen indeed. The Load is even worse.

No, the dirt is relatively packed since the washout goes back to June 2018. This was a temporary detour maybe 8 miles before Williamsport. The C&O is only super crowded the first 20 miles or so, and then again around Harper's Ferry for a bit. That leaves 150-160 miles of relative solitude...

Salsa is a business which has read the same reports we all have: bicycle sales are abysmal while ebikes represent the only growth. This is their wheelhouse, so this is what they bolt the Bosch motor on. I was out on the C&O canal (flat, dirt) and hit a detour up a very steep hill. The ground...

I'm skeptical about feelers inquiring whether something can be a 'thing.' I've been cross-country 2X on an e-bike and have done my fair share of shorter bike-packing excursions. Not going to talk about packing 2 chargers, solar trailers etc as this has been discussed to death. The elephant in...

The bike licensing/registration is an interesting piece of history --thank you, but I this was pre-interstate America with relatively fewer cars on the road. What percentage of American households even owned a car? It made sense in 1935 to bike on the roads for transportation. Today's reality...

Here are the dimensions for the Jumbo sold at Amazon

2018 Charger Enviolo 2019 Nevo Rohloff 2022 Load60 All three with Suntour front forks. In the case of the Load, it is hard to find another fork for a 20" front wheel.

Hahahaha

Which front fork do you have? If it's a Suntour, that's your problem.

I can tell you that I suffered with the disappearing start gear with the original Nyon. It is not a new problem. I think it was responsive for R&M to send you a new shifter unit, but I wonder which issue they were targeting? It might be useful to take a poll on the start gear issue. I was...

R&M Load 60 -- this one goes camping Tern Vektron -- this one goes on the sailboat

Not true for the Bosch 6A "fast" charger, which consequently is not available for the US market. I tried one out using a heavy transformer but decided on another solution for my needs. The only nibble I've had when putting up the transformer for sale was some guy considering purchase of an...

I was curious, so I checked. Borneo is 230V/50Hz.

60Hz is US, most of the world is 50Hz.

It's not Daily Rider. I'll get the name. I think the status was still "prospective" as of late July. I'm a Purple Line supporter but I can't believe how it's paralyzed the area.

It's the Purple Line tracks messing me up, ha. Re: City Bikes: the sister is not interested in bike shop ownership and is looking for a buyer. Electricity's (former) GM is now in MI and most of the staff has dispersed. The R&M rep said there'll be a second shop in our area, but the name slips...

Yes, but he told me he did not miss the R&Ms at all. We kept in touch after he generously hosted me in Bellingham on my ride-through. And that's what I meant by your needs at present. This can evolve/change.

Hi there -- I'm assuming you're in the DC area per your comments. I spoke to the East Coast R&M rep recently, and he told me that Terrapin Bikes in Bethesda is their new DC store going forward. Not sure on the timelines, but reaching out about the Nevo can't hurt. Another option is Propel...

It's not an R&M issue; they've just been selling Rohloff-equipped bikes for quite some time. I don't think any e-brand comes close in terms of sales volume. I tour a lot, and at this point, I've canvassed scores of Rohloff owners, both on traditional touring bikes and e-bikes. The leaking...
