    Front Bike Camera - Specifications

    If you were looking to buy an action camera for the front of the bike today, its primary use would be daytime riding on the road, and its secondary use would be capturing footage of interesting bikepacking/touring rides. What specific features/specifications would you consider a minimum? I am...

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    I plan to use my Supercharger 2 to ride to law school (campus), and whilst it is 'locked' in a bike cage, it still needs to be secured with a lock approved by my insurance company, such as the Abus Ultra 410 U Lock SH34. I prefer a D-Lock rather than a chain for convenience, but I am curious...

    What tubeless tyres are you running?

    This thread is not a tubeless versus tube tyres debate thanks; rather, I am just interested in what tubeless tyres folks who ride tubeless are riding. I am fishing for options/brands/models to consider. I am looking around for future options to replace the Schwalbe Johnny Watts 27.5 x 2.35...

    Charging Battery - 4 AMP to Watts?

    Hi I am just trying to get an approximate idea of how long a Bosch 4 amp standard charger would take to provide a one-watt of charge. My understanding of amps and watts in this context is well non-existent. According to Bosch, a 50% charge of a PowerTube 625 will take 2.1 hours and a 100%...

    Ergon GP5 v GP3 v SQLab's 702/Innerbands

    While I have Ergon grips on my Jones H-bar, they do not have bar ends. My new 'touring bike' has flat bars and a Rohloff E14 Shifter and is currently fitted with Ergon GP1 Evo grips, but I would like more hand positions. Hence, I am tossing between the Ergo GP5 BioKork grips and the GP3 BioKork...

    EVOC MTB Bike Rack Cover or Similar

    With my new eBike, I am looking at a cover for when I am transporting the bike behind the car. My thinking is an EVOC MTB Bike Rack Cover, but reviews are thin on the ground, and well, other cheaper covers get a bad rap. If you have experience with the Evoc or similar that you have found works...

    Bosch Nyon 2 Bumper Case and Protection Glass

    I am looking for recommendations on a bumper case and screen protector (preferably tempered glass) for the Nyon 2 computer. So far, I have found eBike Prints bumper cases, but they will not ship internationally. I have also seen the Besudo Protective Case on Amazon, but the reviews are mixed...

    After waiting over three months, my Reise and Muller Supercharger 2 GT Rohloff (MY23) in Warm Silver Matt has arrived and is now at home. My initial ride on it this morning from the LBS (Sparque in West Perth) to home was 20.22 km. A few early observations: [1] The Fabric water bottles were a...

    Handlebars: Reise & Muller Supercharger 2

    I am a bit of a fan of Jones H-Bar handlebars and have a set on my Salsa Mukluk, but Jones bars only come in 31.8mm bar diameter, and the Supercharger is 25.4 mm. Anyway, I was interested to know if any Supercharger owners had swapped out the stock bars for something else, and if yes, what and...
