Delite and Homage 5

The replacement of the shifter is quite simple or let's say plug and play. But before you do that a firmware update of the shifter unit is necessary if you got the 1.0 Version. (2.0 I don't know.) This update must be done with the Rohloff classic 1.0 App, which is only available for Android devices. Details can be found here.

Don't worry, the update procedure works fine.

I have ordered the part, now I need to find someone with an android device. Many t hanks for your help.

Not always!

With my system, the app identifies the Rohloff device but stops while creating a connection. The Bosch unit is a Nyon.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just did the update and installed the trigger shifter. I had to try a couple times to connect the app to my Rohloff. On my second attempt I switched off the SIM on my phone so the phone would only connect to my wifi. I linked a good Rohloff instruction...

Thanks, I'll try the update again.

Do we know when the Pinion version of Homage5 will be available for US customers? I'd love to compare one to the Rohloff I was leaning towards!

You do need to try it as the geometry is significantly changed. The Homage Pinion size small is pretty close to the current Homage medium. My wife takes a medium in the current Homage but ordered the small for the Pinion. I suspect either the new universal motor unit dictates a wider angle of the frame or the battery does.

My dealer said we can't get a tester even pre-2026 but he loved the Pinion version he was able to try at Eurobike.
