So are Cube completely oblivious or are failures only starting to show now? I believe this mount design has been around since 2018 and is also continued on the new Cube 155. Mike makes a good point, could these failures also be caused by heavy hits to the underside of the motor, also seems...

I took one of these bolts out today to check the mount. Note that other than the factory fitment these bolts have always been tightened to 12nm. You can see how the carbon is deforming under the bolt head. There is a metal insert bonded to the mount hole, but it's very thin. Time will tell I...

Do you have any pictures of the Mondraker mounts, I had a quick google but couldn't find anything. Financially it would make sense for them to out source the frames, like many other manufactures do (Whyte's carbon frames are made in Taiwan) From what I can see all Cube bikes are assembled in...

I agree, to my untrained eyes it does look thin, however I'd really hope that Cube put some R&D into the mounting system to ensure it was adequate before releasing the bikes. I believe the newer 155 uses the same design? I'd be interested to see how it compares to other brands with similar...

I'm not disagreeing with you, rather looking at it from a different perspective, is it really a big problem. From the thousands of bikes sold, remembering Cube is one of the largest brands and this frame is on a number of different specced models, I've only seen a handful of complaints about the...

Been working up to this gap jump for a while, finally put the big boy pants on and cleared it.

This diagram shows the fitment order, (parts 20, 21, 22) you just need to ensure the sleeve is orientated in the right direction.

I may have saved the diagram, I'll have a look for it later 👍

Seems we're from the same neck of the woods @RustyMTB (y) Also took a trip up here

I was fortunate and found torque values of 12nm and 22nm for carbon and alloy respectively before securing mine, though it seemed strange to me as all cube 160 hybrid frames are carbon, so why list a value for alloy at all? Unless, like you say it's a generic value from Bosch for the gen 4...

I've seen the comments and wondered if this was the case for you, sorry to hear of your trouble 😔 Has yours completely failed? I was checking the motor bolts on mine a while back as I noticed a creak coming from somewhere, turns out it was a loose motor bolt. Looking at the frame I did notice...

This doesn't sound good, what's happened to the Cube?

I maybe wrong, but it seems you are describing a "lever bleed" not a gravity bleed? Quick summary, With a gravity bleed, you install the funnel onto the MC and fully fill it, unscrew lever free stroke screw a few turns, remove calipers from fork/frame and hang them below the MC. (for the rear...

There is a big difference between the fitment of a torx 40 and a T40 plus. While you can use a T40 on a T40p, the chances of rounding the head out are much higher. You can get one here for a fiver, it's a worthwhile investment IMO. T40P Also, a Torx 40 plus security bit (the one with the hole...

Don't forget the manitou dorado 👌

This linked video shows the process. You just need a Shimano bleed funnel, get the MC high up and the calipers low, remove the bleed nipples and let fluid drain through the system from the funnel.

Gravity bleed is my preference also for my xt's. Seem to get a better lever feel and no faffing around with syringes.

Is that Donnie Darko coming down the hill 😳

I was always told to use one like this, especially if a fixture has more than 1 securing bolt, and when tightening in a cross pattern., maybe not 1-2 at a time but definitely in stages, as long as the last stage has the wrench in motion, you shouldn't torque on a static bolt. Each to their own...

I bought one of those jobsworth wrenches and had to return it as it was faulty, I wasn't overly impressed with the quality of it. I then got another similarly priced one from Amazon which has been great. I'll check later but I'm sure it's called lytool 1/4 torque wrench. Quality of the wrench...
