Mine worked as intended for a short while. Then I had to reset the start gear occasionally. Then, more frequently, until it ceased maintaining my setting entirely.

A plus is that of the brands, you're most likely to come across Trek or Trek-affiliated shops on your ride. Are you staying in hotels/motels or camping?

it may well take place in the shifting unit, but it is in the display (nyon was under discussion) where the end user gets visual confirmation that the user choice for starting gear has been overridden by Rohloff or Bosch. In my case, my choice of 4 or 5 was always replaced by 1. This is the...

So does the Kiox maintain your preferred start gear?

I have a hard time imagining the retrofit is with the end user in mind, at least not as a feature option. My guess: Pinion is practically giving these away. Just like the gearbox for the Lectric One. If all goes well, Pinion acquires quick market share. If not, R&M bails.

Available in 2025 so there's time to save your money.

New for 2025 - R&M introduces Pinion MGU for Delite5, Homage5 models

No angst. Use current model as commuter only.

No need for a chat as I've owned 3 R&Ms which I've taken across the US 2x + one 1400 mile trip for major trips and umpteen shorter trips with a good deal of involuntary off-road. Some examples of involuntary: Montana - a choice between I-90 or abandoned railroad tracks with a mix of parallel...

I think @Stefan Mikes should stop by and appraise your bike, as he is most likely to use this term. If I had to guess, I'd say it means heavy, seemingly overbuilt, ponderous. See R&M. Some might assume that the SUV is an off-roader, but in my experience, most SUVs stay on paved roads! Again...

I was thinking about the ebike-specific announcement I read some years ago -- probably this: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1PC0XQ/ Some light searching reveals European tariffs on Chinese bike imports dating back to 1993. tbh, I have trouble these days understanding what constitutes...

Didn't the EU apply similar protectionist tariffs some years ago? I think the Euro players protected themselves. I see Bosch batteries made in Poland or Vietnam, frames in Taiwan and so on.

The Bosch 'fast' charger used by OP is non-switching, 50Hz, i.e. of limited use, stateside. I'd say @ava1ar has made the best possible use of this resource that is otherwise too limited to be useful in the US. The Grin Cycle Satiator with the Bosch adapter (pre- Smart System) is an alternative...

Woooooooooooo ... I'm going to be a Czech here and say ha ha...

How frustrating, Sam. Wishing you a speedier recovery.

Which parkway?

While I live in the DC metro, I keep my sailboat in Sparrows Point, which is to 'the right' of the bridge. Sparrows Point is the site of former Bethlehem Steel (furnace came down in 2012) and is now Tradepoint Atlantic, a major distribution center. Residents in the area transitioned from steel...

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...
