I'll chime in here once. As for the Kindernay, this video is very instructive. I don't see ever using the cage swapping feature and don't like the two shifter setup of the Kindernay. At that cost, and considering Rohloff's maturity as a very reliable IGH, it seems the better value and a safer...

The Fabric water bottle purchased at my dealer included the pegs in the packaging ...

Good suggestion. I try to stay in Tour mode as much as possible and that extends the dual battery range out to approx 80 miles. I may keep an eye out for a 3rd battery and do some longer faster rides using more Sport and Turbo. Fast is fun ... :-)

Hi temp ride. Although I rode early, it topped out at 111 degrees yesterday and the large insulated Fabric bottle was needed. That was a 50.3 mile ride with 6-7 miles on single track trail and jeep road around a lake (85% Tour mode). It took me 2.3 hours to complete with an average cadence of 80...

Yes I added it and no, it wasn't necessary. :)

I have no experience with this, but couldn't you ship your batteries to your first destination and then ship them back at the end of the trip (you can find some info on packaging here)? They would need to be properly packaged/labeled as I have had ebike batteries air freighted from the factory...

I assume you are talking about the Fabric water bottles (they are cageless) since they are the ones R&M uses and the only ones that fit the mounting pins on the Delite bikes. I have the standard size that came with the bike and a larger 22oz insulated Fabric for summer use and have found them...

We are on a nice getaway trip to the Northern California coast with our bikes this week. There are some terrific bike riding roads/trails around this part of the state and today I found an amazing trail in an area appropriately called "Islands in the Sky". I started off on an old fire road that...

That ^, is taking the bull by the horns .... well done! The Rohloff is in another league and apparently they will be offering that IGH on the Bikonit and Factory direct MD 1000's. I have to say, for the Ultra motor, I think the SRAM is a very good choice. It's $2K cheaper and much easier to...

That mirrors my experience and I'm glad you are back in the saddle. It is obvious that the Sturmey Archer 5 speed IGH is not suitable for ebikes. I was warned and stubbornly refused to heed the warning and paid the price. At least I developed a riding style that allowed me to put over 2K miles...

Motorcycles are "on topic"?

The R&M was the 8th ebike I purchase in the last 18 months. The first few were "experimental" and were on line orders of relatively inexpensive ebikes. Several went to family members and friends, I sold one and 4 remain. That includes 2 that I ride, one for the wife and one for friends/family to...

Personally, I would love to build my next house. I have the requisite skills and have the time but alas, I'm too old. Perhaps I'll start a thread here in the R&M section to kick off that scintillating discussion ... :rolleyes:

That is unfortunate on a lot of levels. I too had COVID but with little or no health related effects. Your weight puts you at or above the limit most bike frames can handle and when combined with your above average level of fitness, bad things can happen. Being 6'5", finding a bike that "fit"...

Clearly, there are issues when diagnosing odd noises from a new ebike and frame resonance makes that more difficult. Mine had a tick tick tick sound that was very annoying. I found one other post from several years ago that described the very same thing but no one responded to that post and so I...

I find it interesting that the blame is being directed at the Rohloff E14 when it could very well be the Bosch Gen 4 motor that is making the noise. The crank and motor are spinning faster in lower gears and even your informal tests point to the Bosch rather than Rohloff as the culprit. Perhaps...

My Delite does the same and it has never been a problem for me. I also have a Bafang Ultra motor powered fat tire bike that can reach 35 mph throttle or pedal assist and 40 mph with throttle and pedaling. Going that fast on a bike is fun for a minute but then ...

I ride a Delite GX and for 90% of the time I'm in gears 8-12 with the E14. In my occasional forays into the lower gears, with a fast cadence, the noise level does increase significantly but I believe it is the Bosch (Gen 3) making the noise, not the Rohloff.

When I go to My Bike on the Riese and Muller website, that is their description of my bike. It is a late 2019 model (note visible batteries) so that may explain the unfamiliar description. Perhaps Extreme was the precursor to Super designating the 2 battery version.

Guess I misunderstood what Law was saying. I thought he meant that a product like wine gets better with age. He was referring to product evolution and on that we can agree. Since this is a Delite review Thread, I continue to have nothing but good things to say about my GX Extreme Rohloff HS. I...
