    Riese & Muller Delite Mountain Rohloff - anyone had any experience with one?

    Still waiting for mine . Dealer was “tubelessing” it for me .....and it has taken longer than expected .... I did warn them it was not always straight forward. Or maybe they are using it in their window to show it off.

    Riese & Muller Delite Mountain Rohloff - anyone had any experience with one?

    Much to my amazement LBS phoned to advise the bike has arrived ! a month earlier than revised date ... R&M must have found some delivery drivers! Delivery to me next week. No joy on the frame protection so it has to be DIY //// tiresome job but worth it . Pix to follow

    My new R&M Delight Mountain. Ordered beginning August was forecast end Sept. now re scheduled end Oct ...no explanation .just hope it arrives before the mud season as that was the whole point of the Gearbox/belt drive set up.... most of it is made in europe so no Taiwan shipping delays .

    Riese & Muller Delite Mountain Rohloff - anyone had any experience with one?

    Thinking ahead to my delayed delivery has anybody found a suitable protective film for the Delight?? Invisiframe do not have one and suggest a fat bike kit but looking at the shape on line i would think there must be similar frame shapes etc on the more popular bikes . Anybody tried...

    Ebike imports U.K. from the E.U.

    11weeks from order to expected delivery...... Not a Brexit problem ... simply a manufacturing lead time in the German factory (Taiwanese frame ) Hope they keep to it .
