100% agree with that
Locking firmware updates to dealers is a bit old fashioned too
You can update your phone, I can flash an ECU on a £60k BMW... but I can't update my own bike firmware when all it really needs is a USB connection and a laptop.
I love the bosch motor but all the displays are...
I'm really liking Tour+. It saves flicking between eco and tour all the time which I found myself doing a fair bit on long trails.
I'm not sure that screenshot and documentation is right though, there's no way Tour+ goes all the way up to turbo levels.
It feels more like Tour+ varies between...
I had this done a few weeks ago. Very happy and much prefer it.
I often found on the trails I do eco wasn't quite enough but then Tour was a bit too much. Tour+ just varies between Eco and Emtb levels of power so I'm not switching eco-tour-eco-tour all the time and I get a decent battery saving...
The amount of stuff people are marketing as "specifically for e-bikes" now is getting daft.
It reminds me of the PC world with "gaming" everything.
I'm pretty sure a saddle for an E-MTB is just the same as a saddle for a none-electric bike. It's just marketing
This video I took for my warranty claim better shows the problem (with the casette removed)
As you can see the hex bolt is fully tight and there's no play in the centre, but the outer casing is loose as hell!
Worrying that I'm not the only one to have the issue. I wonder if Shimano had a bad...
It's not what you think - I know what you're referring to but mine did it from new
It's a quality control issue with Shimano - I took mine apart and they had shimmed it badly so there wasn't enough pressure on the ball bearings and the outer casing had a ton of play in it.
@Cube rider. should...
Balfes were really helpful with me and put a warranty claim in with Cube. They've authorised sending me a new freehub but it's on back order till end of August.
I actually managed to acquire one from China through aliexpress, swapped it over and it's night and day. Works perfectly now.
I'll be...
Probably a bit late - but Hope do a 34T direct fit for bosch chainring
Hope Technology E-Bike Spiderless Retainer Chainring - Bosch - 34t | Westbrook Cycles
Great upgrade if you ask me
I bought the 2021 Pro version earlier in the year as getting any stock was an absolute nightmare, but the suntour coil forks are absolutely useless boat anchors.
For people finding this thread in the future - the length of the steerer means you pretty much can't fit...
So I've put a warranty claim in with Cube but also stripped it down to investigate.
I removed the cassette which is fine, and the QR shaft and bearings (the big bearings, 9 per side) are fine - there's no play in the wheel at all
The play is in the actual freehub body (number 7 on the picture)...
Hi all,
Got a bit of an issue with the freehub on my Cube Hybrid Reaction Pro 625 hardtail
It's only 3 months old and done 6-700 miles but yesterday I was having more and more issues with the chain jumping and my mate noticed a ton of play in the rear cassette. You can move it 3-4mm back and...
Hey all,
New to the forum thought I'd show you my bike
Bought it in March this year, done 700+ miles on it already, absolutely in love with emtb'ing
Not the best photos but just some I took out riding
Made quite a few changes in the short time I've had her
Swapped the handlebars for some...
