    Newish-bie...... Now bikeless. *** UPDATE ***

    Had my Cube Stereo Hybrid 625 for just over a year and sold it last week. As confidence has grown on the trails and rides I found I needed an upgrade (and the medium frame was a little small in the cockpit). So now I'm bikeless. I have looked at the usual brands.... Trek, Specialised etc but...

    Ex display 6.8... a few questions.

    I have sold my CUBE Stereo Hybrid and purchased an ex shop display 6.8. (small scratches to the dropper post saving £500). A few questions (fairly new to eMTB). * The dropper post lever on the handle bar, the inner cable sticks out, nearly past the lever. Dropper post is working. How do i push...

    Fork upgrade? CUBE STEREO HYBRID 160 HPC RACE 625 27.5

    MTB Newbie. Current forks on the CUBE are RockShox 35 Silver, Tapered, 15x110mm, 160mm. Went out on my friends Specialized eMTB recently, with some rather expensive FOX forks and it felt a lot better on the rough stuff and going down hill. Less chatter and gave more confidence. Thinking of...

    Fed up with tubeless.

    Update. Sorted and ridden today. If they are inflated tomorrow morning, its a success. Took my time to thoroughly clean the rims and apply the tape. Muc-Off valves were great and used different tyre levels.

    Fed up with tubeless.

    Cheers all. The beers are still chilled. Any one else used Muc-Off tape, or is it not the best to use? Will clean down the wheel again tomorrow and have another go.

    Fed up with tubeless.

    I cannot for the life of me get tubeless tyres to stay inflated. 3x punctures on a ride, so decided to go tubeless. Bike is 2021 Cube Hybrid Stereo 60 HPC Race. Rims: Cube EX30, 32H, Disc, Tubeless Ready Rear Tire: Maxxis Minion DHR II, MaxxTerra/EXO, Tubeless Ready, 2.4 WT Front Tire: Maxxis...

    Newbie (idiots) guide to handlebars & stems.

    @Gary Good video, thank you. I have been tinkering and rotated the bars, giving a little extra reach. Just small adjustments at a time but I can tell the difference already and will have a proper ride out this weekend to experiment a little further.

    Newbie (idiots) guide to handlebars & stems.

    Thanks for the advice. Spec is stated as: Headset: Acros AZX-1030, Top Zero-Stack 1 1/2" (ZS 56mm), Bottom Zero-Stack 1 1/2" (ZS 56mm) Stem: Cube Performance Stem E-MTB, 31.8mm Handlebar: Newmen Evolution SL 318.25, 760mm Does a flatter or lower bar give more room in the cockpit then?

    Newbie (idiots) guide to handlebars & stems.

    I sometimes feel cramped in the bike or hunched in, like the seat needs to further back/bars further forward (if that makes sense).

    Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC (2021). Current bars and stem are: Stem: Cube Performance Stem E-MTB, 31.8mm Handlebar: Newmen Evolution SL 318.25, 760mm How do you work out if a new bar and stem improve your ride, be more comfortable, improve handling? I dont want to spend a couple of hundred ££...

    Nice 👍 What maintenance stand is that?

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Its Rockbros. Designed for two bikes so more than capable of carrying an eMTB as the single bike version wont take a single eMTB.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Got this for £60 on eBay. Removed both mounts, drilled new holes and refitted one mount in the middle. Absolutely rock solid.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Interested to see how you get on with that. I want to try some routes I don't know from Strava and just about to pull the plug on a Wahoo Bolt V2 and have been putting off using my mobile.
