Thanks, I will order a pair.

I also scraped my pedals on the first outing. I then properly pumped up the Fox shocks and have not scraped them since.

Have bought a bunch of the tyre jacks and often wondered about the PTS-1. All the info show it as a tool to pull racing tyres away from the rim to help them seat, not for MTB tyres that won’t go over the rim at all.

One of the things that surprised me about the Tannus was that it seemed to have no protective layer and really worked by moving the tube several millimetres away from the thorn entering the tyre and making the thorn work harder to ruin your ride. I use Mr Tuffy on my other bike after I resisted...

Six weeks into the Tannus liners on my Superdelite and I have had my first rear wheel puncture. I went into the barn and found it flat, so flat that the tyre had buckled. I hoisted the bike up and pulled the tube out whilst leaving the wheel in place but I could not find the puncture. I used a...

We have managed to amass a collection of Bosch powered bikes, one gen 1, two gen 2, two CX Performance and two gen 4 2021 Superdelites HS. The Superdelite certainly seems to have the least torque of all, even less than my wife's first bike the gen 1 which I seem to recall was rated at around...

It seems that Cal Phillips, the inventor of the 1UP USA racks has lost control of his company and has now updated and licensed his patents to a new company that seems to be delivering improved racks for much less money. I have two double original racks but really like the changes. Here is the...

The design defect with the charging cover is that if you do not close it or it springs open it will make contact with the pedal and the pedal will snap it off.

I have been using the 1UPUSA bike carriers (I have two) for five years and I really like them. They are so fast to load and unload and hold the bikes securely. The trouble in the UK is that you cannot have removable tow balls using the 1.5 and 2" receivers. The 1UPUSA all need the tow hitch...

The process for removing the rear wheel for me was as follows: 1. hoist bike up with tractor so that I could have the wheel at optimum working height (Note the John Deere is not included with the bike) 2. undo quick release and unplug Rohloff control wire 3. try and remove rear wheel 4. realise...

I have the Superdelite Rohloff HS with the Fox Float and the GX option and I was surprised how well they roll on paved roads. Mind you I am coming from Schwalbe's Hans Dampf and Magic Mary not from road tyres. The Rock Razors are OK off road and seem a reasonable compromise. I did manage to...

Of course you will have to cut the old tube in two to get it out before fitting the new GAADI, something their website does not mention. I am reading this as I go my first puncture in my Superdelite yesterday after 400 miles but luckily it was in the front. It was only a tiny thorn that went...

@stevenast My information was based on the percentage being sent back by dealers to Bosch. What I don't know is how accurately they counted, if their customers' use is representative or if there are geographical differences (e.g. UK vs US). For that reason I did to want to quote figures as it...

That may be the answer to my dreams. I have the Nuvinci on my fatbike and I am amazed that they can feed 120Nm torque through it, it is rated for much lower torque. I would go for a normally geared version. I will continue to look into it. So much depends on the feel of the torque response of...

I know that Boulder decided to allow them on a year's trial that ended on 31 Dec 2014 but I have not heard the results nor do I know if it was continued or not.

The figures are straight from their website. Here is the link http://optibike.com/optibike-r8hd/ Having ridden it I have no cause to doubt the 165Nm, and it is worlds higher than my Bafang 750W fat bike. I suspect that they are better at electro mechanics than the electronics needed for torque...

I'd just be happy to have a system whereby I could lock up my bike and have it still there when I got back. This is the single biggest impediment to using my bike in town more.

Makes sense, and it is a hugely efficient off road vehicle. Trouble is with 165Nm of torque one's own effort is but a footnote but it can sure haul itself up anything with enough adhesion for the rear wheel.

Yes, I have suffered from chain suck very many times and have replaced two SRAM XX0 derailleurs, one cassette, one chain ring, one SES sprocket and one chain and needed two of the Crank Bros Iodine wheel rebuilds. I sometimes have used my derailleur alignment gauge after every ride to get it...

About $12k I recall.
