Made friends with somecows

I believe the stock tape isn't tubules ready and will need replacing with proper tubeless tape. Any of the big brands should work equally as well, just get the right width. I used gorilla tape which has mixed opinions, though for me it's working well.

Indeed, but they are only the size of a pin head so unless you're really looking you won't notice them. Not like in the motorcycle industry where they put a great big line across all bolts. They are good as a quick visual check when out on the trails though 👍

Paint pens are only a couple of quid and won't come off in the rain/washing the bike. I put a single dot at 12 o'clock on all suspension and linkage bolts and a witness mark on the crank arm bolts. I've had a few bolts come loose and this makes it super easy and quick to check if any are...

Hmmm, not overly impressed by that, the frame welds are 😳 Rockshox golds and I've not heard of the motor 🤷‍♂️

Fleece lined, they will probably be hot and sweaty. If you want some decent cheaper trousers have a look for some Regatta questra or highton trousers, often find them cheap on e-bay.

Take a look in the dedicated forum, there's loads of info in there. Cube It's a great bike with some easily fixed niggles This thread covers some of the issues. I finally got one - Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLX 750

Not overly tight, maybe 4-5nm, use good quality thread lock and they shouldn't come loose. Like you say, you don't want to overtighten them as the studs are bonded directly to the carbon frame and if that breaks it could be expensive to fix.

Seems this is an issue with no real solution. Even with the membrane Yamaha uses, you'd expect the motor to dry out over the summer months but the damage could already have been done? All companies need to up thier seal game, or perhaps move the PCB outboard? As a side question, have you...

I wonder if there is a correlation between keeping an E-bike inside vs outside regarding condensation inside the motor and water damage? I regularly clean my bike, in fact almost after every ride as I keep it in the house. Once clean It comes inside and lives next to a radiator where it has the...

Cold up the top of BPW this weekend! We had all the weathers in one day, from hot to cold, dry to wet and rain to snow! Thankfully the wind stayed calm

I'm interested in one too, but how is it different from moving the magnet and sensor to the crank arm to trick it, which I believe the smart system can detect?

Raised saddle and a very slight bar rotation got things feeling normal again for me.

Miranda 155 and 152. The price changes a lot on them, though I've not seen them drop below £45 for a while now. Miranda Mis17 Unisex Adult E Bike Fit Alloy Cranks Delta Style E Bike Cranks Delta - Black, 155mm Miranda Unisex's E-Bike Fit Delta Style Alloy Cranks

Sorry, I should rephrase, with the 165mm cranks and the saddle dropped to it's lowest position I still found the saddle occasionally got in the way. This is now worse with the 153mm cranks as I've had to move the dropper/saddle higher to compensate. I believe the only way around this is to get a...

I must be in the minority as I noticed a substantial difference going from the stock 165mm E-thirteen cranks to Miranda 153mm cranks. Im 6 foot with around 34" inseam Most noticeable was the decrease in leverage/power on steeper climbs and the stand over position. The Q factor of the...

Miranda £30-50

I get this, but I can't think of a time I've ever used walk assist on level ground. If I'm on level ground, I'm riding ;) Unless of course it's strewn with obstacles. Really the only time I use walk assist is on steep techy climbs where I've failed completely and I need to get the bike to a...

What can I say, I've got long legs 😆 It's more the fact that when in the lowest gear I find it's too slow to get going. Now, if you could tailor it to suit your needs in the flow app, that would be something.

Going to have to back track a bit now, I was not aware of these options. Tested them out today, and they all worked, the best being pushing the bike backwards slightly, which pretty much engages walk assist straight away, much better than pushing forward which always seems a bit hesitant to...
