Depending on local laws I think you'll find using a tow bar for a bike rack is not counted as towing which should give you some flexibility

Stealthy lol

Welcome. This is a great forum. I'm on a few others non emtb related and this is so much better natured. You should see some of the scraps on the motorhome forums. Full of cranky old blokes with different views each always the right one lol

Me too

I generally do loads of research to make the right decision from the beginning and purchase something a little better than my abilities (in my case the 140TM) or needs to avoid the trouble and uncertainties of trading in quickly. But then with continuing supply constraints even getting a...

They are all great bikes as you say and there is a danger of over analysing. I shortlisted the Cube, Orbea and Focus. Couldn't get a demo on the last 2 (or even a decent response from a dealer) so bought a Cube from my LBS so what is available will be a big consideration. Loving the Cube BTW

Not sure if this helps but I'm 5"8 and half with 30" inside leg and bought a medium which fits me fine. The bike I demo'ed was a large with the bars rolled back and seat forward that was absolutely fine so you certainly don't need anything smaller than a large and might even want to try an XL...

Havent read all posts or associated posts as a Cube owner but this might be of interest if not already shared

mmmm seems to go against all the recommendations I've seen

I used the Invisiframe kit on my new Cube 140tm and so impressed I bought another for my clockwork bike. Really accurately made and great coverage

Yes. My recent purchase of a Cube HPC TM140 even prompted me to upgrade my Whyte to a Canyon Neuron and I'm loving them both. Because fitness is important to be I try and stick to using the EMTB after I've "earnt it" with a ride on the clockwork. Lets see if that lasts :)

Have a look at the Fidlocks if you have limited access

Standup bash guard as I'd heard the only other option I'd seen (Rockguardz) were not great. Crazy money for £5 worth of tin but nice fit and looks like it will do the job. There is a great opportunity here for anyone with a small metalwork business!

For comparison

So allowing for the rubber chain stay protector, mine are both the same dimension.

I have the same bike so will check dimensions tomorrow morning.Not had any issues though but if there is a gap as you've measured, if it is then hitting, that suggests there is lateral movement?

Old post but for the future, if you ask them they will give you 10%. I've asked on 2 different occasions

Well as your country allows you to bear arms, just shoot anyone that tries to stop you ;)

I've just given my large a good test and glad I went for it over the mini

Re your bash plate, I've just seen these, which look pretty sturdy if a little expensive https://www.amygos.fr/protections-cadre-vtt/gb/cadre-s/1277-carter-pour-stereo-hybrid-2020-carbone-27-5-p.html
