    2019 Supercharger battery issue

    thanx for sharing..... Guess we're In the same boat. I kinda figured out my new routine today: plugged in after a ride and software took Battery #1 to 75% (lower battery charges first). The top battery (35%) was then super easy to take out and just plug it in independently counting bars for...

    Wow! I'm gonna go take a LOOK right now at my Rear Assembly..... Hoping you're right! I took a look: I could imagine popping the Quick Release and tugging the wheel down and out of its slot, but hard to imagine jamming it back in with the normal tension on the belt. The E14 instructions for...

    2019 Supercharger battery issue

    just to confirm, when I first got my bike (August) it CHARGED back and forth BETWEEN the two batteries. Being a curious newby (and wanting to protect against overcharging), I monitored their progress numerous times. Only rarely would they be out of synch and one would charge to the max...

    I actually carry a tube and have my killer KTM foot pump and expect some day to fix a flat on my front tire (suspect its 10-15 minutes with my cool Aluminum spoons. However, I am not into dealing with the rear tire. I've got the electric gear changing setup with the Rohloff Hub.... and I'm...

    2019 Supercharger battery issue

    When recharging my 2 batteries the parallel system doesn't always work correctly. When working they alternate charging 4% in one battery and then an increase of 4% in the other. (They also discharge this way when in use). Lately, ONE OF THE BATTERIES TAKES THE CHARGE EXCLUSIVELY and will...

    So, I've given up on Sealant. Really happy that sealant got me home almost every time, but the combination of the G-One Speed/and sealant was not a good match for how much glass and thorns I was picking up. I've now gone 200 miles with no flats on my latest setup which follows Chris's advice...

    First off, Chris, thanx so much for the reply. NEXT: a couple of pieces that might be of use to others.... So I've learned a lot about sealant: its very alive and there are many ways to play with it. I had another flat recently (glass as usual puncturing a small hole in the rear tire)...

    any comment on what you think about your tires on various road textures.... for example do you ride much on asphalt: noise, vibration, feel, etc? I'm thinking power consumption might be greater but on most of my rides that would be a non-issue... thanx in advance

    thanx for all the thoughts... I think the Sealant works well for small holes... There's a YouTube out there where a guy does different hole sizes and challenges various brands of Sealant to see how well they do. All of my holes have been from glass. I'm starting to see that glass is...

    I have a Supercharger GX HS Rohloff. 5 weeks/550 miles of ownership and 3 flats. While I have a variety of experiments in play as I get to know my Bike/Mission envelope, I hope this thread I'm starting invites comments which allow us all to think about our individual situations expansively and...

    Hi there, About 5 months ago, I accidentally found myself at a bike shop with plenty of Demo bikes to try. I had an extra 1/2 hour of time, so I took a few for a spin. Wow! Not really that much too figure out! The Salesperson showed me the button for flipping thru the 4 modes (Bosch) and I...
