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.
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.
Used it for the 1st time today with a route I made on Kamoot and imported it to my flow app. (My bike is a 2022 cube stereo hybrid with the Bosch smart system) 28 mile route and on 2 trails I didn’t even know existed so 👍 from me.
I updated my 2022 cube myself using the flow app with no problems. And used the nav function for the 1st time today,it all worked fine and sent me on 2 trails I didn’t know existed so I’m giving it 👍.
Found usual stuff
Mobile
Bike light
Bash guard
McDonald’s wrappers
Once found a frt wheel in a trail car park (Facebook returned that to its owner)
But the best thing I’ve found was a whole emtb,owner had snapped there chain and decided to just walk out of there. Met her about 1 mile up the trail.
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.
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...
Alreet all
Anyone fitted a Fox float X2 shock to a 2022 cube stereo hybrid. Looks a bit tight for the air can at the bottom mount against the frame upright. Obviously don’t want to buy one for it not to fit.
Cheers
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.
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.
Hi All
I’ve got a 2022 cube stereo hybrid action team and I’m looking for sealed bearing head stock bearing options.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be welcome.
Cheers.
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.
