Sunday was a perfect day for a long ride, where I mixed a bit of road, gravel and mountain trails. It keeps raining (luckily I've been taking my rain jacket with me) and so the single tracks are still too wet to ride. The variety Sunday provided was great! Started late, for my usual times...

We've had non-stop rain! Which made cycling on the mountain trails impossible (130mm of rain overnight for example) or at least a repeat of the ride from a couple of weeks ago which was not on my TODO. So I decided to stick to the main roads and go to a little seaside village called Valla, that...

Woke up early today, before the first light and set out on a ride before the thunderstorms that are on the forecast for the coming week... The light fitted on the bike, plus my meteor storm, made sure that I wasn't uncomfortable riding in the dark. I was not surprised to cross paths with...

I couldn't stay home any longer on Saturday (yesterday), despite the inclement conditions out there, I thought to myself "you have a mountain bike, that's meant to be all weather, get out!!" and so I did. I set a route on Komoot (won't do that again) to head to a nearby town (~ 34km) via forest...

I need to learn more about tyres, I wasn't sure, more confusion rather than worry. It's good news then ;-) (thank you Stefan). And, to be honest, these massive tyres are so much larger than the ones I have on my acoustic hardtail, I was surprised. Of course, one has to account for the added...

That's a good question Stefan, I don't know ... how do I find that out? It's using the Gen4 Bosch Performance CX motor. I have one of those multi-tools in my backpack ... however with this new beast (Rohloff included) I wouldn't know where to start if there was something more than adjusting...

It's strange because the marketing photography on R&M site has the bike with the HD tyres but states Nobby Nic on the specs ... :)

Ah! That would explain that. 1125Wh (500+625) ... Thank you for the Tannus suggestion, definitely the next thing to do on my list, that's a very good idea.

I received mine this weekend!! Strangely mine came in with Hans Dampf tyres ...

After what seemed like eternity, my bike arrived and I drove the 400km to the bike shop to pick it up. Yesterday, despite winds that would have made me stay home prior to the electric assist and the forecast of heavy rain, I took it for a maiden ride! And what a please it was. This is my...

I can imagine you've already put the bike through its paces! That's a good looking bike! Congratulations!

Hey @Jay Kay did your SD mountain rohloff arrive last week? I've been waiting for mine, though I think through a different bike shop than yours (Brisbane, that's the closest one for me, despite being 400km away). It was initially due early Jan, then late Jan and still no news from it 🙀

💯 Not soon enough™ :-) "in theory" the ship with the container should have docked in Sydney already ... but, as you know, these are challenging times and "who knows" is the most accurate answer. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

Thank you Stefan! For sure! I can barely contain my excitement. As for the Tasmanian adventure, it would be great if I could decide when I get there, as you suggest. The main problem is that since it's a small town and they get lots of people heading down, the bookings need to be made a long...

Hi there, New member here, long time lurker in the forums ... there's been some very interesting conversations, great photographs and epic rides posted in multiple places, that made me want to be able to participate, so "thank you" is the first thing I wanted to say. I have a very sedentary...
