    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    Thanks Mike (and Squaxor!) your considered comments are appreciated. I’m 66, reasonably fit - and a slightly overweight 5’10”. I’ll think carefully and try what I can, but I’m coming round to thinking I should go for Rohloff or derailleur. In any event, I think I’m going to wait till the new...

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    What can I say? Thank you so much for your replies. Mike - good to know there are happy R&M owners nearby! Thank you for the helpful comments. I was in fact thinking about the Vario option, hoping that I didn’t need to spend on the Rohloff! I don’t anticipate negotiating Wrynose and the like...

    Please reassure me that it’s worth spending the extra on a Riese and Müller bike!

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    Hi - I’m thinking about buying a Nevo 3. My problem is that I’ve been riding my wife’s Cube Touring Hybrid Exec 2020 step through for a few months and I find it hard to fault. It retails at £2,500. The components seem to be at least as good as the Nevo and it’s a comfortable ride with a very...

The components on the Cube seem to be as...

    Nevo 3 Luggage rack weight limit

    Hi - I’m thinking about treating myself to a Nevo 3 but I’m a bit disappointed to see the weight limit for the rack, which is 20kg. This seems low, I’m used to seeing 25kg? Just wondered if anyone might be able to comment as I’m hoping to bikepack and anticipate needing the higher weight...

    Finding a sit up and beg step through for a tall person

    Hi all - my wife has just bought a Cube Hybrid Tour step through size 58 frame (the largest frame available). We are both 6 feet tall. She loves it and I too am impressed, except that when I adjust the saddle so that I can fully extend my leg with my foot on the peddle, I am not quite as...
