    Shimano freehub failure

    Agreed it's absolute crap. The hubs and the front fork are garbage. Might be upgrading the whole bike this week though, so we'll see.

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    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...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    Well when I say there's some bits I still need Turbo for - I'm talking 1000ft climbs in the dales LOL

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    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...

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    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...

    Saddle recommendation?

    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

    Shimano freehub failure

    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...

    Shimano freehub failure

    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...

    Shimano freehub failure

    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...

    Reaction performance 625 2021 fork help.

    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...

    Shimano freehub failure

    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)...

    Shimano freehub failure

    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...
