Lol. Both the B17 for women and the no longer available Finesse are marketed as shorter/wider at 177mm and 176mm, respectively. Of course, there are so many variations on the B17 we could both be right. The Finesse was described as “based on the B17 Competition.” I own one in green/titanium...

I recently sold my B67. A bit too heavy for my taste. Def feels like overkill with the Homage.

I’ve used several Brooks models on a similar bike (Nevo), upright position, using only a Thudbuster. No problems, no issues with daily riding of 70-200 miles. I used Brooks saddles long before ebikes as well. What I’ve noticed is either ppl love them or hate them. Your wife will know within two...

I’m a bit puzzled by your post. I’ve had my R&M well over 30mph going downhill. In fact, my max speed according to the bike appears to have been 38-39 mph at one point, eek. Even if a bit inflated, it’s still well over 34mph. Gravity wins.

back when I owned a Charger NuVinci* Irecall picking up a spare cable kit rather easily. Has this changed? * Enviolo’s former name

I’m sorry, this sounds awful. Do you have any idea how the bike intended for your shop landed up in another state?

At 28mph, you are getting no assistance. It starts cutting out at 27mph with drop to zero at 28mph. This assumes you have recent vintage firmware as the cutoff was earlier for pre-MY2019. I feel your pain. I was on a bike-legal hwy in CA that required merging to one lane w/no shoulder with...

Is your location DC as stated, or does that mean something else? If so, why don‘t you take the bike to Electricity, a Trek dealer or Daily Rider? This is a remarkable event for only 20miles on the bike, so for your own safety you should have it checked out. There have been reports of drive...

Yes, bc the article is written from the perspective of working with analog bikes, no? But a resonant cavity will amplify drive noise as well. making sureit’s bolted down properly should cost very little. I read the OP’s comments as follows: the drive is coupling (possibly through the frame) to...

Here is a blog post written by N. America’s Rohloff expert on noise that is correlated to Rohloff grearing. The point of the article is that the noise is largely due to something else, including the frame. I would take the bike back to the shop and ask them to retorque every bolt on the frame...

As you probably know, the current spec on this model lists the fork as “Suntour NCX 28”, tapered.” There are multiple NCX models. The D-LO appears to be steel spring (certainly true for older models) and the NCX-E is air. Both claim 63mm travel. I would ask R&M directly for the specific ID. It’s...

Thanks for the pics. I see that I have the older Bosch softer rubber version. You have a cap that’s R&M-branded. My bad.

All I can tell you is that it still works perfectly on 2017 and 2019 bikes I own, the latter an R&M. I have experienced problems, but this isn’t one of them. The kit is specific to a particular configuration. The point of posting the example is to show that they are not out-of-stock so the...

Over three Bosch bikes I’ve never experienced this problem. Unless I’ve just been lucky, I’d guess yours is malformed in some way. I’d ask the dealer to replace it, although I agree that trips to the dealer are annoying for items like this :( I see the socket/cover available in a kit like this...

Don’t forget to protect your rack. I believe R&M makes TuffCoat foil (or similar-sounding) available to your dealer for this purpose.

Interesting. I just noticed that my (Gen2) chainring is wobbly after taking off the belt. Assuming loose lockring. The bike underwent a full inspection at the dealer not that long ago, so hoping for little/no damage as you’ve presented here.

For peeps in the future reading this thread: 91107 - 50-150lb* 91132 - 100-300lb You could argue that the reading might be unreliable a tad beyond the stated range but have you seen the phone app?

I just picked up that gauge. No reason not to at that price. I could not agree more with your comment on “one step closer to independence.” The bike industry as a whole needs to reevaluate the supply chain. I think it’s the wrong time to be touting “car replacement” when parts/service are not...

Hmm. I still don’t see why you can’t enjoy your current solution while waiting for the correctly-keyed lock cylinder to arrive.

Honestly, I would press for the “keyed alike” benefit unless you agreed to “as-is” terms at time of purchase. I used to own a Charger with the same hub and would experience that shudder at higher speeds. If anything, I’d check if the belt is too tight rather than tight enough. I don’t think you...
