Seattle's Dandelion Bikes took exactly one day to diagnose a noise-and-vibration problem in my 2018 Riese & Muller Supercharger GX Rohloff HS. It took one additional day to fix it, installing a brand-new Bosch power unit, lockring and sprocket. Those expensive parts were covered by my Bosch...

Forgive me if this has been addressed (and tell me where). I adore my R&M Supercharger and for two years have had great adventures with it. Yet I have problems when bikecamping finding a place to plug in every night, as most primitive campsites lack any electricity. I don't like having to...

EDITED Nov. 3, 2018: I've kept this post up, rather than deleting it, because the substantive issues it addresses might be of help. But as to my conclusions about who is more reliable for which kind of fix, kindly disregard. There have been too many fixes that didn't really fix, and too many...

I am riding with my first Rohloff hub and have 700+ miles on it. I am not impressed by the way it shifts, using the twist grip. In my experience, the shifting can best be described as mushy. It is completely lacking in crisp detents, like an indexed derailleur system, that tell you without...

I was being very careful when I tensioned my Supercharger's belt recently, even tightening the two dropout bolts to the proper torque after adjusting the tiny tensioning screw. Then I noticed (duh!) that there is an identical dropout on the non-drive side -- complete with tensioning screw! Does...

I searched for this topic and didn't find it addressed. If it has been dealt with, please pardon my query and point me to the relevant thread. I'm wondering whether the gearing on a Rohloff hub can be adjusted. I'm finding that it has a surplus of low gears (i.e., easier to pedal) and too few...

Is anyone else experiencing unstable turns on the R&M Supercharger? Maybe it's me, though I've ridden a road bike for years. When I try to make a tight turn on this bike, I feel like I'm going to fall over (inward, in the direction of the turn). And I nearly have, a number of times. It's not...

It might be fun, instructive and perhaps cathartic to post rude things non-ebikers have said to us ebikers. Clever retorts (usually conceived well after the incident) would also be welcome. (I hasten to add that most non-ebikers are polite, if not curious, if not downright envious.) I'll start...

Forgive me if I've missed it in my search, but I found none. If anyone has one, I'd love to see many, many pix and hear your reactions and experiences with it. I have one on order.

Hi from Seattle! I'm eager to learn as much as possible about ebikes generally and, more specifically, about Riese & Muller, the bike I'm awaiting, and its components. I'd welcome hearing from anyone with experience or informed opinions. My bike is due for delivery in early August, and I'm...
