    Load 60 suspension upgrades

    Don’t think you’ll regret it. Pricey but well worth it for the improved handleability. Getting it up to air pressure at installation was a bit fiddly… but that’s just me and suspension pumps. In use it’s a dream and only needs battery charging every now and then, and I use the dropper A LOT.

    Load 60 suspension upgrades

    Hey Murray. Hope you love your new Load 60. Sorry to butt in on the antipodean love in. 🤣 This pom has a similar 2020 Load 60: tundra, GX, Vario, dual battery. I’m 82kg. I find the stock suspension perfect. On-road, super smooth, sturdy and assured, the machine just flows. No problem with...

    Riese & Muller 2022 models. Rumors?

    I’m with you @inakisoria ”I don’t understand anything anymore”. I cannot believe that Multitinker is from the same pen that gave us the wonderful lines of the Packster 70. Looks to me like the unintended consequence of that time Miss Tinker went into the bike shed with Master HSD, Master...

    Riese & Muller 2022 models. Rumors?

    Yeh, the instagram replies were a bit of a damp squib. You’ve got to search really hard to find any changes on the web site for MY22. Looks like the Bosch Smart System is very limiting at the mo… no dual battery, no Rohloff. I guess this is the bike world after 18 months of supply chain...

    Load 60/75 Storage Customizations

    Extremely professional job. R&M couldn’t have done better themselves. My experience trying to work with netting has been disastrous - just makes my brain hurt. Truly impressed. You could sell those 😄. My Load 60 personalisations so far only amount to a few eye bolts to secure the pooch harness...

    R&M Front Carrier Bag, First pictures !!

    Yet again, an example of customers and dealers being hassled by R&M not having a direct to customer web shop for accessories. This company is GROWING. The product design quality just gets better and better and more and more innovative. Exciting times. They can’t do everything at once. These...

    R&M Front Carrier Bag, First pictures !!

    Yep, thought so. My old mind wasn’t playing tricks. The chain bag is shown on another R&M video... The new content on the R&M YouTube channel is really starting to sell these bikes well... making up for their web site which I think is really thin on detail. Hence all these questions on EBR...

    R&M Front Carrier Bag, First pictures !!

    Could be the bag under the saddle that R&M mention when you spec the chain lock option? Long chain that fits the café lock fits in it. I think I saw a video of it somewhere. But maybe that was a dream... sure sign of Obsessive R&M Syndrome!

    R&M Front Carrier Bag, First pictures !!

    Cool bag... new video... Now R&M need to start offering all these cool accessories to their existing customers through a direct web shop, rather than hiding most of it away and hassling customers and dealers alike.

    Riese and Müller front bag

    Check out R&M website, it’s just appeared on the Multicharger page... https://www.r-m.de/en-gb/bikes/multicharger/

    Cargo bags for a Multicharger Mixte

    This just highlights to me why R&M should create an online shop for accessories. Tern websites display accessories excellently. Then point you to a dealer. Then if there is no dealer convenient to the customer, Tern offers products direct from their web shop. An excellent service to loyal...

    SuperDelite battery covers

    Hi there @nunosanches I believe the Vertical refers to the type of Bosch Powertube used. The Bosch battery case is elliptical and is made in two versions so bike makers can fit them vertically or horizontally orientated inside their frame. Hope that helps. Mike

    Spare POWERTUBE for Delite 2020: switching that rubber cover?!!!

    Really really helpful post @JVBulman. Thanks so much for taking the time. The confirmation photos are great. Exactly the part required. Hope you’ve helped lots of other R&M fans too... those covers will fit an increasing large number of R&M models 👍

    Seatpost suspension on load 60?

    Hi Anders. Hope you’re enjoying your Load 60. I find the full suspension on my Load 60 very comfy and sure footed already. But I guess getting your contact points just right on a bike is very personal. Why not go super plush and double up with seatpost suspension too?!!! I was thinking that...

    Riese and Müller front bag

    Hi there @Jjmrx. Welcome along! Great looking bike you got there. Think the Curry Matt is best R&M colour right now. Nice subtle set up with the bags and that hint of yellow on the fork bag. Sweet. Lets face it, it’s got to look right to properly enjoy the ride 😉. Really great spec too...

    Alternative tyres for Superdelite - optimised for puncture resistance

    No idea about manipulating tensioner. Whole thing makes me nervous. Like you, hoping for a clear video of this action before having a go. I have Tannus Armour waiting to fit to a Load 60 and a Delite... both with that dreaded tensioner 😫 I really wish our saviour Chris Nolte would make a Propel...

    Alternative tyres for Superdelite - optimised for puncture resistance

    I maybe seeing this all wrong but... he takes the rear wheel off a red Homage Rohloff with belt tensioner at 15.40 mins. The first wheel removal is a hard tail grey Charger Vario.

    Alternative tyres for Superdelite - optimised for puncture resistance

    @Squaxor @Jay Kay Check out the Tannus UK website. It has a tyre size selector which gives you the Tannus size required and also the recommended tube size 👌 https://tannus.co.uk/armour-homepage
