    Toping up battery

    Hi AusE I had the same dilemma and went out the next day with 3 bars ( Cube Bosch motor). I ran out of battery 5km's from home and live at the top of a steep hill. I learnt my lesson and charge every ride now !

    Rockshox axle

    Thanks Pdoz for the advice that was it.... Thanks Mikerb for the "click tip" and the 2.5 key as it seems to engage through a hole.

    Rockshox axle

    I upgraded my forks to Rockshox Judy Gold about 4 months ago. They work really well but the axle (boost 15mm x 110mm) has a cam lever to tighten it which then locks with a cam action. The cam part has stopped locking and the lever just flops. The axle stays in place but it isn’t locked. Anyone...

    Has anyone bought an Ebike without riding one ?

    Yes I bought mine, Cube Reaction Pro 500 this August and had never ridden one. First time on the road it was easy to exceed 25 kph and couldn’t feel the motor but as soon as you get off road on a trail there is s nice “kick” and even more uphill. Love it!

    Upgrade fork on cube hybrid pro 500

    I have done that and loosed the caliper bolts and applied the brake ti centralise it.....a bit better but still a slight noise. I have seen “universal” post to post spacers and wonder if Cube have their own matched to the original fork?

    Upgrade fork on cube hybrid pro 500

    Yes it fits and I have been riding with it for a month or so but there is a slight rubbing noise......it could be that the rotor is sllghtly out of true. The post mount on the old and new fork do look completely different spacing so thought I’d ask. G.

    Just one more point on this thread. Is it necessary to remove any existing tape on the rim before putting on the new tape? G.

    My originals were Schwalbe Smart Sams 2.6 so 2.5 may not noticeable (for me anyway!)

    Conversion to tubeless, easy peasy

    Thanks Steve for a really helpful reply. I may go with Grenny’s tyre choices as he has the same bike as I have and I’ve already taken his advice on a fork upgrade. I think I ride similar trails to you.
