    Need a new shock pump after trying to use mine at the weekend and squinting at a stupidly small dial, it seems now is the time to go digital. What are using and liek/hate?

    Bosch eMTB Challenge 2023@Ardrock

    I am doing the intro on sunday. I am guessing it will be the last time that they let ebikes do the normal events and they'll move to a couple of ebike only events, which I think makes sense. Looking forward to hearing hi the e-bike event goes as I may enter that next year. What time are the...

    Let's see your cubes

    Not been on my Cube, but ha e visited a few times in the past and love it. Wish it was bit closer to home. Rim Dinger and Poppity Ping were my favourite trails.

    Let's see your cubes

    I've got the Race version of the 160, so it will be bottom of the range wheelset. I had lots of problems to get them set-up as tubeless (I've been running tubeless for years on other bikes). The bearings never really felt smooth and are rapidly heading towards 'rough' and the rear (Newman) thru...

    Enjoying life (other than the wheels) with my 2023 750 Race, mostly minor upgrades at contact points/tyres and getting a Kiox 300 head unit as the stock bike didn't have one. Set of Deemax S-35 arriving this week to replace the wheels which I've struggled to run tubeless, getting a...

    Rear axle working loose on 2023 160 Stereo Race

    I am going to try some PFTE tape to stop it coming loose. Anyone else had the same thing on this frame?

    Stereo Hybrid 2022 / 2023 - Tweaking cover / cap / lid of the charging port to prevent losing it

    Arminius did you find a better screw? I nearly lost my cover on my second ride out with a new bike, clearly not a great design!

    Are Cube wheels really 'tubeless ready?

    Many thanks to you both. Bought a tubeless kit to make sure I am good to go.

    Are Cube wheels really 'tubeless ready?

    New bike arrives tomorrow and will want to convert to tubeless on arrival, but have an opportunity to go to bike shop today. Cube list the wheel as tubeless ready. Does anyone know if this means that rim tape is fitted, so I'll only need to fit valves and sealant? Cheers

    Bike parks

    Love Bike Park Wales, never ridden an eeb there, but maybe later this year I will. Coed is where my love for mountain biking started, so it has a place on my top three. Ae is great, especially the last part of the ride. I ride Gisburn a lot as it is near by and Hully Gully always makes a...

    Motion Control upgrade on a RS domain fork

    Hi - has anyone fitted the Motion Control upgrade on a Domain fork? If so, did it come with instructions/did you find it easy to do? Cheers

    Hope, any good or average and overhyped??

    Hope stuff is great. Well engineered, reliable and always does what it says on the tin. I've had hubs, QRs, pedals, brakes and stems. If they have have want I need and I can afford it, I'd buy it every time.

    Mount Etna

    I've MTB'd down and around it, with a local uplift company. It was an amazing day and well worth doing. My trip included cycling down from where the gondolas drop you. This is a very, very large bowl shape full of small pieces of lava. It's almost like riding on sand. I went over the bars...

    Carbon Wheel Failure!!! 😲😟😭

    I think that's classed as an unfortunate meeting between something from mother nature and something man made. I'd replace the rim, you could never ride it again with total confidence and any wheel failure. Be it carbon or aluminium is catastrophic if the rim is damaged.
