We've inquired as to what it would take a couple times - Depending on the model you have to replace a few other things besides the rear wheel (drop outs, chainring spider etc.) to compensate for the different in the chainline of the Vario and Rohloff. Also worth noting there's no routing for...

Yeah, they switched the headlight to one with a U connector. The power cable extension and high beams extension are the same part; you just use two for a HS bike. There's a step-by-step here.

I donno, MY20/21 was better than expected here in the states, I'm trying not to get too worried about it.

I think in general there's a move away from cable-actuated shifting (outside Touring models) at R&M. I suspect the Packster 70 Automatiq is a dry run for phasing out mechanical Vario too.

You'll have to settle for the word of a professional eBike mechanic :P

While not essential, it's also not total BS - eBike chains last noticeably longer.

Nah, the main advantages are mileage and durability.

Thanks for the info and photos, @Neil Hawkins

I'm curious too. Did you splice in more length? Do you have high-beams?

Relocating the headlight's going to be fun for anyone who bought their bike more than 6mo ago...

And yet the comment I was replying to was referring to the women's B17. Thanks for the gigantic images tho.

Oh yeah, that'll do it. I can't say I've had much luck quieting Performance pads.

Have you ridden a Bosch bike with a Manual Rohloff? It can't say I miss it.

As has been said in this very thread - if they're set up and bedded properly, MT5s are just as smooth and quiet as MT2s.

I wish.

They still make it, but if I recall it's not wider, just has a shorter nose.

The threading is 10x1

Touring, Vario or Rohloff?

That leather saddle life. I have a Brooks Flyer on my commuter that sounds like an old spring mattress :p
