    Idea rescinded nothing to see.

    I bought this cable for $18 shipped on Amazon. Grin has an Amazon store for some of their products.

    Burley Coho, BodyFloat and more

    If you’re in the DC Metro, I now own a R&M Load cargo bike, so I no longer need: Burley Coho trailer, new in box, has never seen the road. Burley is out-of-stock and sellers want $500. Box was opened to check skewer size. $400. Cirrus Kinekt BodyFloat, 420mm length, 31.6mm seatpost, 2 black...

    Solar Trailer Build

    I live in the DC Metro. My original plan was a round-trip but I got a very late start. When I got to MN, I hopped on Amtrak to get to Seattle. Once in Seattle, I rode out to Olympic Peninsula and officially started my route home in La Push, WA. I did a combination of trails/road but tied to pick...

    Solar Trailer Build

    Seattle WA to Wash DC. Plenty of wind, no probs. Genasun, charging spare Bosch battery, no other option. Peak output in July -early Aug but dropped off dramatically in Sept. Biggest issues: crap tires on Nomad. Constant flatting. No theft attempts. Used motorcycle alarm, no locks.

    Solar Trailer Build

    I did this last summer — a Sunpower 110W on the Nomad rack. I did not find additional support necessary. The POS rack did not fit the Nomad exactly — my biggest problem.

    Supercharger2 - Trailer Towing Options

    sure, hitch type: Burley Steel Hitch (first picture, black) R&M part nr: VBK0017 i have a friend with a 2021 SC2 who has attached the hitch adapter/hitch w/o issue and has taken a few trial runs with his trailer. I can take pictures of mine this weekend if you’d like. Yes, that’s a 110W...

    Supercharger2 - Trailer Towing Options

    I can confirm that the hitchpost that comes with the Nomad (purchased 6/21) will work with the R&M adapter w/o interfering with the E14 shifter (which is what I have). This was using a Nevo, which should be similar to your setup as they are both hardtails. I see seatpost recommendations — I...

    Supercharger2 - Trailer Towing Options

    Rohloff Is unlikely to warranty an E14 shifter unit that has collided with a tow bar. I saw a post on their Instagram account to this effect. Riese&Mueller sells an adapter kit to prevent the interference: https://propelbikes.com/product/riese-muller-trailer-hitch-mount/ it worked fine on my...

    route across the USA

    So, when I got to Rosalia, I was banking on the six camping sites that were to be available at the town park. Could not find them. Next morning I was told they had been ripped out the previous week due to “transients” who come through between Pullman and Spokane and trash the place.

    route across the USA

    From DC to Steubenville, OH is complete, as is most of IA. Western half of WA is coming along. Some nice disconnected trails as well, but other sections simply don’t belong under that 52%. I think it’s obvious that they were quite generous with “complete” pretty much for the reason you state —...

    route across the USA

    I rode all of these in 2018 and again this past summer as they are part of the GART, as I’m sure you know. The problem is lack of funding. The Hennepin state park office has never been open for me. Camping fee collection was non-existent, and I talked to people who’d been camping for four days...

    route across the USA

    “52% complete“ is quite misleading. Significant portions are only suitable for ATVs or unmaintained/unusable at present.

    How is the maintenance on an R&M? Are these able to be serviced at local shops generally?

    I see in your profile you’re from DC? Feel free to DM, and I’ll be happy to give you recommendations curated for our area. I’ve owned R&Ms since 2017, so I’ve got opinions.

    How is the maintenance on an R&M? Are these able to be serviced at local shops generally?

    i brought my Gates tension gauge with me, and the service dept allowed me back in the shop to show them how to install/tension belt and how the shifter unit fits back into the dropout. There were other issues as well, but the bottom line is that they were easy to work with, and I’d recommend the...

    How is the maintenance on an R&M? Are these able to be serviced at local shops generally?

    Recent personal experience taking an R&M Nevo Rohloff HS to a Trek shop. No problem with Bosch-related updates and so forth but balked at reinstalling rear wheel due to lack of familiarity with E14/Gates belt.

    Nyon and Rohloff e14 Forgets Start Gear Setting

    FWIW, this problem goes back to original Nyon. Mine “forgets” the start gear regularly.

    Enviolo Automatiq Retrofit

    He used a retrofit kit/CO controller on a manual 380/Charger3. He soldered the power cable from the hub to the main power cable (Enviolo recommended AUX port on Gen4 but user noted it is limited to 12V while the hub needs 18V-36V). He needed to drop the motor for access. He bypassed Bosch, so...
