    Are cube bikes any good these days?

    Had a 2021 140 hpc sl. Awesome bike. Now for sale. Only issue I had was the display died. They replaced it in 24 hours under warranty. Now have a 2023 140 hpc sl action team and love it. Cube are great. The only reason I stick to the 140 is I prefer the 29” wheels. I wish they’d do the 160...

    2023 Action Team Invisiframe

    I sort of caved to the insane sales on at the moment, and bought a new 140 Action Team (my current bike will be up for sale soon) One major issue I've had with my current bike is the matt lacquer has come off in big areas, so I want to invisiframe this one as soon as it turns up to try to...

    Long wait at bike shops?

    I don't use bike shops for anything except firmware updates Suspension services I send off to Silverfish or TF Tuned. I have used a few bike shops in the past but I always end up fixing their bodges myself.

    50lbs vs 53lbs bike — will it be noticeable?

    Cut carbs for 2 weeks and drink loads of water, you'll shed more than 3lbs in water retention :ROFLMAO:

    How much difference does "better" suspension actually make?

    I swapped out the basic Fox shock and 34 fork on my bike to factory float X and factory 36 It was a massive improvement, plush is a term used a lot but man they're so buttery smooth For me though I have wrist problems (25 years sat at a desk coding) and any more comfort I could get up front was...

    [POLL] Hanging an eMTB by it's dropper post in a workshop stand?

    I do C because.... it just looks less stressful on the post BUT I weight 230+lbs, and hammer the shit out of the bike, the stresses it goes under with me sat on it are far higher than hanging a 20kg bike from the post lol Probably over-thinking it

    Review Gorilla Tape - as a rim tape

    Gorilla tape is a million times easier to apply than other rim tape, it's actually permeable though so doesn't IME fully seal till a bit of the sealant has soaked in Unfortunately it's a million times harder to remove than other rim tape. After spending an entire afternoon with glue remover...

    Issues with my bike

    Sorry was late and I completely missed that you'd already tried that :( Does sound like maybe the tube is oval'd or there's something in there pinching the post. The only other thing I've seen is the dropper cable all kinked up when the post is inserted which prevents it fully pulling the...

    Is it ok to hose wash an Ebike?.

    For what it's worth - 2 years now of washing my ebike, with the battery in, without the display covered, occasionally with the charge port uncovered because I haven't noticed the flap has lifted up. Always with a jet wash - most of the time with my battery powered worx jet washer which isn't...

    Issues with my bike

    Every dropper post I've seen when bike servicing that sticks has been down to the seatpost clamp being too tight crushing the dropper tube. Loosen it off so it's barely at the point of stopping it moving, see if the problem persists. If it doesn't then tighten back up with a torque wrench to...
