Went very well... excellent. Link here and I also posted it in the Merida Forum page here at emtbforums. Ended up a very easy conversion without modification, internal cabling was a little tight but in the end with a little extra care and planning I got it nicely tucked inside and protected...

The rims need to be either 32 or 36 hole... they are the only two options available with a Rohloff Speedhub. 110kg generally not an issue, the Rohloff has larger diameter and symmetrical flange hubs which makes it much stronger than other hubs (equivalent to a 40+ spoked wheel). The other...

Thought this may be of interest (see Facebook post link below). I have a 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo myself (also with a Rohloff fitted), but I must say I really enjoyed the "test ride" on the Merida E160 900 this afternoon on my local trails. The Merida feels well balanced, very planted and the...

Welcome to come down to the Gold Coast or meet up for a ride. Doing a Merida E160 E900 today and meeting another guy next Saturday at Daisy Hills for a test ride and look/understand more about the conversion. Both with eMtbs and both want Rohloff conversion... well the Merida is happening now...

Also completed the internal cabling... initially I ran the cables externally during the first part of the testing and trials, but I have now tidied that up. That has worked well too - no issues to date, neat tidy and no rubbing or noise.

All going very well... see this post about chain and sprocket wear I posted a 2 weeks back. Raced a few races now, 2 out of 2 wins in the SE Queensland xc series, and a second last week in the Bayview Blast, which was a 25km lap around 90% single track. I am still pushing hard out on the trails...

Mountie... have a look at the video (link below). Any more questions feel free to ask.

650 kms... no measurable chain wear, rear sprocket and front chain ring no visible wear. Keep it washed and cleaned, retensioned spokes twice during the first few weeks. Last week removed all the rear end linkage bolts and cleaned up and re-greased all linkage bolts, seals and bearing faces and...

Gates carbon belt drive, beautifully and neatly tensioned belt and the shifting is integrated in with the Bosch motor. Although the Bosch is an older design and does not disengage over the 25kph cut-off… therefore you a not only pedalling (pushing) 27kgs of bike, but also some motor resistance...

The Rohloff is both a significant investment and a revered cycling product. It is not for everyone due to price and weight, but I just love the simplicity of the drivetrain and how it works... and keeps on working. And yes, many (probably most) Rohloff owners transfer their Rohloffs from bike to...

I went very close to buying the Nicolai EBOXX E14 - the final 3 were the Nicolai EBOXX, Specialized Levo and the Thok. I was in the process of organising the purchase with Nicolai, but in the end, I couldn't physically test ride one which was too big an unknown, and from what I could...

The overall cost was around $2,100 (US$1,500), excluding my front and rear rim upgrade. And no labour costs, as I did the conversion myself. Not cheap... but it’s bullet proof and I’m confident my only annual drivetrain cost will be a $20 oil change. From what I read and what I’ve have heard...

Actually the 1.5kg is a total of all the mods/upgrade I’ve done to my Levo, including weighing with pedals. Hadn’t checked that before... but confirmed, the bike is 23.00kg. Where’s the additional weight: 1. Front wheel: 0.2kg 2. Rear wheel: 0.9kg 3. Twistshift plus 2 cables: 0.1kg 4...

Rohloff do not make chains anymore, you can no longer buy them. Rohloff started in 1986 manufacturing a very high-quality chain, the Speedhub followed later. Tour de France riders were continually breaking chains until Rohloff produced the S-L-T 99 chain. I happen to have a small number of...

Can call or email me to discuss... our Rohloff website is www.rohloff-au.com/contact and has all the details. The Rohloff is a costly first up purchase, but lifecycle cost is far less than a derailleur system. I have 3 bikes with Rohloffs and all we do is change the oil every year... $22 for an...

Hi, I am new to the forum but have been watching EMTB reviews and reading the forum comments for a little while now. I just bought my first ebike, a new 2019 Turbo Levo Expert a few weeks back and I absolutely love it. I am also the Rohloff distributor for Australia... so after listening to and...

Thanks for the add. I'm 61 and have been mountain biking for over 20 years now... mostly recreational, although I did do some racing 2004-2011. I am also the Rohloff Speedhub distributor for Australia, so most of my mtbs have a Rohloff Speedhub fitted. So I tried some ebikes out a few weeks...
