FYI the “braking assistance” as they refer to it in the app can be adjusted for
sensitivity or turned off altogether. I happen to really like that feature as
I rarely use my own brakes except when coming to a full stop at a light etc.

Jim, that's a good point I forgot (I don't have the wheel anymore). When
coasting you don't actually keep your feet still and it's easy to activate that
backpedal braking unintentionally. It bothered me a bit because I kept slowing
myself down.

Copenhagen wheels incorporate regenerative braking - when backpedaling,
there is extra resistance in the freehub caused by a battery charging
mechanism. The charge supplied is minimal but many people like the idea of
this feature. However, it means that the chain is very prone to slackness
and
Check your chain length, too. Usually with my wheel I was spinning out and
coasting in a too-short top gear, which is big/small ring/cog. You might have
just enough extra chain going on in combination with a little drag on the
freehub to cause the slack. But make sure big/big still works!

Thanks for all your replies! I’ll try the lube suggestion to see if that fixes
the issue.

Max,
I never had any chain issues here in Michigan on my Quickbeam nor on my wife’s
multi geared Atlantis.
Ride conditions 90+ degrees F in late summer down to 25 degrees F in early
Winter on dry roads with no snow.
Good luck!

Sounds like what Alex is saying. Here in usually warm California I didn't have
that issue.

Heavy lube and cold temps had that effect on my drivetrain in winter...I think
the free hub has more drag than a standard free hub. Did you strip your chain
of the factory oil they put on it?
I’d apply several rounds of a light lube with lots of solvent in the formula.
Something like clean
Joe and other Copenhagen wheel owners, did you have any problems with chain
slack when coasting on the copenhagen wheel? I haven't used it much but I'm
surprised to see my chain completely slack and sitting on the chainstay
when I coast... something doesn't' seem right.
Any advice would be
Looks like Marathon Supremes are the winners 700x50mm. (I can't fit a 60mm
under the current fenders anyways.)
Thanks everyone!

Let’s you have your Riv and e-propulsion too. I’m getting it for my wife really

I'm intrigued by the Copenhagen wheel myself, though for the present solely
in an academic way. But I think that having a Rivendell with assist would
beat another electric bike.
Me, I think I'd use 60 mm Big Apples. They are pretty darned bulletproof
and you can run them soft enough to absorb

It's heavy, bolt on, and there's a stabilizer that uses a 22mm (included)
wrench on the hub end and a hose clamp at the chainstay. This adds three
wrenches to my kit that aren't necessary for removing the front wheel, and I
would really rather not do that job on the side of

As big as you can get, and make sure you have flat protection because fixing
one on the road (I haven't done it yet 爛) will not be fun. The Road Cruiser I
have came with the used wheel and fits under my fender, but it's a bone
rattler. My eClem really needs fatter tires.

I finally got my wheel and my lbs installed it today. It came with a Kenda 35mm
tire... way too small for my Atlantis.
What tire do you guys recommend with the Copenhagen wheel? I’m thinking 700x50
with mostly road use.
Schwalbe Marathons? Joe’s e-Clem seems to have the green guard road
Is there any company that produces a 650B version of something like this?
Thinking of getting a wheel like this for my wife’s 45 Clementine to help with
pulling kids in the bike trailer.

I can not recommend the Copenhagen wheel enough for any Riv application.
Joe was correct I initially had my NOS purchased single speed on my Quickbeam.
My personal experience was it extended my SS rides into 35-40 miles vs mid
20’s. I personally have left it in ECO mode after one
That's an average range for most ebikes, and can be stretched considerably on
the Copenhagen with judicious use of the Eco and 0 settings. One of the things
I like about it on my Riv is it still pedals like a Riv, I can ride with very

IIRC the maximum range on the Copenhagen Wheel is 30 miles. That
doesn't compare well with most e-assist bikes, and while that might be a
fine range for an urban commuter, Rivs can be so much more.

For anyone who has been looking for an opportunity to try the Copenhagen
