See the sticky thread titled Bosch Gen4 Seal Service and Grease up. There’s two videos featured in the thread, two variations on popping the seals off. It also has the photo with the details attached to the tube of Bosch Grease...
I think this is the grease that Performance Line Bearings recommended to me.
23 quid for 850g in a handy tub, so no need to buy a big cartridge grease gun...
I’m back out on my 2021 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 ebike.
So it has the Gen 4 motor. Motor failed after 3600 miles.
Refurbished motor that I bought did 180 miles then failed.
Refurbished motor was repaired and it is now back in the bike.
At the moment we are having some dry weather (won't last...
I bought some carbon compatible adhesive - this stuff is what is typically used for bonding inserts to Carbon. It is VM100 glue from Easy composites - Materials, equipment and training for advanced composites with next-day shipping and expert technical advice. - Easy Composites
Prepared the...
You can see the insert has distorted and the paint around it has cracked, but hopefully this one is still firmly bonded to the carbon.
The rear ones look OK.
I'm not sure but I think there should be carbon before the insert from the outside of the frame - it looks to me if I have crushed...
That’s what I’d expect. Mine has done a similar mileage over 3 years and it feels much as it did when new in terms of range. I do notice it is less lively in winter compared to summer, but overall, over time can’t detect a drop in performance – umm so far.
Thanks Rotary and Cocodrilo, looks like I’m not the first to end up in a mess with this.
Would be nice to see that 11nM on a Cube document. But that figure does make sense, as you wouldn’t expect catastrophic failure from a 50% over torque. (ie from Bosch manual figure of 20Nm)
I suspect a lot...
Hello alkis,
The first thing I would say is I suspect your big brand emtbs are probably all a much of a muchness in terms of quality. In other words, I don’t think Cube is any better or any worse than any other bike brand. What Cube does offer is great value for money.
First issue I had was...
Wondering if anybody can help me with this.
I’ll get the important bit in first.
Does anybody have an official torque setting for mounting the Bosch motor on a 2021 Carbon Cube frame.
I know that Bosch quote 20Nm, but is that for an aluminium frame? Is the figure lower for Carbon?
The second...
Following the instructions in my welcome e-mail.
So hello all. I’m Gareth.
I bought an ebike back in May2021.
1. To help get me back in to cycling. 2. To hopefully have some fun and 3. To allow me to access remote hills with ease and cut down the distance on long hill walks – I’m a bit of a...
