    Motor clicking

    I recently changed front and rear sprockets and new Gates belt. Work was done by a highly qualified local bike shop mechanic, all parts new from Gates. The bike has Rohloff E14 speed hub. Belt alignment and tension are spot on. After my first ride I noticed a muffled clicking sound when I...

    Belt Tension

    Claude tells me there is no belt tension adjustment on the Homage. There's certainly no way to position the rear wheel further back in the drop outs as they are vertical. Claude says the spring-loaded tensioner near the front chaing ring maintains the belt tension. My LBS did a fine job of...

    Belt Tension

    I just changed the front and rear sprockets on my 2022 Homage w/E14 Rohloff but can't find any instructions for how to adjust the belt tension. Anyone have a clue?

    Gates belt replacement

    The belt on my 2022 Homage E14 was jammed by a stick this week and it broke. I’m now faced with the following dilemma. There isn’t an R&M dealer within 500 miles of where I live. I have a spare belt, but wanted to change the front and rear sprockets, too, as the drive train has 16,000 miles on...

    How to identify whether my Homage is a 4

    The manufacturer of the adapter said it wouldn't fit the Homage 4 because there were cables routed through the head tube area that woul interfere with the adapter. On my Homage, there's a small rubber plug in the opening that I believe was previously used for routing a cable or two. I've...

    How to identify whether my Homage is a 4

    Well, that describes my Homage to a T: fully integrated Bosch PowerTube battery and the distinctive one-piece frame/step-through design that extends into the rear rack. Frame number WRJ2HM4M4LD100744 I assume the HM4M4LD in the frame number identifies it as a Model 4. Here's an image of the...

    How to identify whether my Homage is a 4

    I'm shopping for a handlebar adapter for my 2022 Homage. On the vendor's web site it says the adapter will not work with a Homage 4. How can I determine if mine is a 4? Thanks.

    Where to get R&M parts?

    The plastic charging port cover on my 3 month old Homage broke this week. This appears to be a common problem. I'm wondering if anyone has ordered this kit from Amazon to solve the problem. I don't really need the cable, but he cover looks like it's made from rubber and there appears to be a...

    Enviolo Repair / Replacment

    I’ve been doing business with this LBS for years and I used to own a UPS Store in the same strip mall. The mechanics there are very knowledgeable and the service level is great. There may have been a little “fellow business owner” discount in those numbers. Bottom line is the bike feels like...

    Enviolo Repair / Replacment

    Well the new Enviolo hub arrived in a couple of days. LBS did a great job of disassembling the old wheel and lacing up the existing rim to the new Enviolo hub. Installing a new tire and Tannus insert today and will mount the new wheel for a short ride this afternoon. Total cost came in at...

    Schwalbe air plus inner-tube with Tannus inserts

    Been running Tannus inserts on my SuperDelite for over 5,000 miles without a flat. I recently had to remove rear wheel to have a new Enviolo hub installed. When I pulled the Tannus, I noticed that the thickness of the insert was greatly reduced at the center of the insert. I figure it’s about...

    Enviolo Repair / Replacment

    thanks for the input. I have not, but I did try to work with the dealer who sold me the bike. They made a warranty claim to Enviolo, but didn’t say anything about sending the hub to Enviolo for repair. At this stage of the game, my main concern was getting the bike back on the road. I’m 76...

    Enviolo Repair / Replacment

    I ordered a replacement Enviolo 380 trekking hub, and my LBS is gearedup to build a new wheel. Enviolo denied a warranty claim due to the fact that my bike is almost three years old. I have logged 18,000 miles on the bike and now the Enviolo hub is making a strange noise which appears to be...

    Enviolo Repair / Replacment

    Has anyone had an Enviolo 380 hub replaced, I.e., install a new hub using the old rim / spokes or new spokes? My closest R&M dealer is 600 miles away. I know a new Enviolo hub can be had from several bike parts vendors. I just don’t know if a local bike shop would be able to lace up a wheel...

    brake noise on disc brakes could just be the disc.

    I have a SuperDelite with Magura brakes front and rear. I've put almost 8,000 miles on the bike, but the brake pads look OK. It seems like the pads should have required replacement by now, but I can't see or feel any degradation of breaking power. almost all riding is on paved surfaces with...

    Alternative tyres for Superdelite - optimised for puncture resistance

    I’ve had a Superdelite for a little over a year and haven’t changed the SuperMotoX tires that came on the bike. In 7,000 mile of riding on paved greenways and local city streets, I’ve had 2 flats, both caused by what appeared to be the sharp end of a thumbtack and an ordinary staple. The staple...

    Turbo Owners -- What's your total mileage? [OFFICIAL MILEAGE THREAD]

    At nearly 8000 miles i had to replace chain, chain wheel, freehub. The bike still performs well. I recently bought a Reise & Muller Superdelite (Bosch mid motor, dual 500 watt hour batteries, brake lights, front and rear suspension, 4 levels of assist, belt drive, Nuvinci internal gearing, and...

    E-bike recommendation: full suspension and belt drive?

    I bought a SuperDelite with dual batteries and I couldn’t be more pleased. I previously had a Specialized Turbo and there is NO comparison to the R&M bike. I’ve had it less than 3 months and put almost 1,400 miles on it. It is a “beast”.

    Bosch Kiox Ebike Display Settings

    I just purchased an R&M Delite with the Kiox display. Is there any way to rearrange what shows on the screen, i.e., I'd like a screen that shows Cadence and distance covered. Additionally, is there a way to change the assist levels for Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo? I'm finding the 55% in Eco mode...

    What Real World Range Are You Seeing With Your Specialized Turbo?

    I have a 2014 Turbo. I have Eco mode set to 70% (I'm almost 74 years old.) and I consistently go 25 miles with 50% remaining at the end of the ride. I ride almost exclusively in Eco mode, and average about 16mph. Terrain is mostly flat with a few moderate hills. Battery was upgraded to the 504...
