    Stereo Hybrid 140 vs 160 …. Are Cube any good ?

    I’m on my 3rd cube (140 race,140 SL and now the 140 action team 2022) never had any problems with over 2500 miles on each bike mostly of road. I bought stronger wheels which I swapped on to each bike when I sold old bike.” Bang for buck” is excellent and the dealer network is what sold it for me.

    Water resistant trousers

    Usual fox or endura stuff will do what it says it will. But expensive to replace when you fall off and tear it. Dare2b and regatta stuff keeps you just as dry and warm ,but you won’t be upset when you come off and trash it. Ok not as fashionable who is gonna care when it’s covered in S__t.

    Toughest wheelset- Weight NOT considered!

    Contact a guy called Martin at hands on wheels in London. This guy builds the best wheels using whatever products you spec. He built me a set using DT swiss 511 rims Bitex hubs Sapim race spokes They were considerably cheaper than the ones you have listed and are bullet proof.

    Orbea Rise H10 Wheel Upgrade

    If you are in the market for new wheels I can recommend a guy in Uk who has just done a set of wheels for my cube. DT Swiss 511 rims with Bitex hubs. Lights than oem and bullet proof (very rocky where I ride) and the £££ was bargain. Several of my friend have since ordered same set up for there...

    Sealed bearing options cube stereo hybrid

    Creaking yeah got that and I’m a bit tired of keep going in there and greasing bearings. Sound like the solution I’m looking for with the bonus of no block stop. Any more details ie bearing size would be mega buddy.

    Tubeless is turning into a right faff

    Slime tubes x2 £17 eBay. Fit new once a year. I even re-use them if I’m replacing a worn tyre. Took a tyre off once and it had 7 thorns poking though into tube. No pressure drop in tyre so could have been like that for ages. And in last 12 month I’ve done close to 2000 mostly off-road miles.

    Every kind of riding , man made trials, natural trails rough and easy and some great man made down hill runs. All within riding distance. So can’t grumble. Check out YouTube for IOM end to end Or Manx 100 And you’ll see how lucky we are.
