Thanks for the advice much appreciated! Interesting about the rim tape as MBR recommends 3-5mm wider than your rims? Also which liquid injector and air compressor would you recommend? :)

Hi guys, Hope you're all well. I want to go tubeless on my my new bike that has the following rims and tires: Newmen Evolution SL E.35, 28H, Disc, Tubeless Ready (35mm width) Newmen - EVOLUTION SL E.35 - Wheels - E-MTB Schwalbe Hans Dampf, Addix Speedgrip, Super Gravity, Tubeless Easy, 2.60...

Just bought the 2020 model in black and will receive it tomorrow and bought a 2L water bladder from Decathlon to go with it. Hope it does the job...

Well guys I just picker her up and rode her home... in the sodding rain. Decided to take a small diversion down a mud track to christen her, then immediately regretted it when I remembered I was wearing my good trainers and jeans and saw mud spattered over a 30 mins old bike that I then had to...

Ahh I getcha. I think it is likely good enough to perform fine in bad weather conditions with its breathability and waterproof ratings. Although having said that, in the UK for the same price you can probably find some bargain gore-tex jackets around too in the sales that perform better than...

BREATHABILITY OF THE FABRIC To find out if a fabric is breathable, measure its evaporative resistance RET (test based on ISO 11092). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more the water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability. It is considered...

Still, may be better to list a rough budget to work with. The Cube Stereo Hybrid HPC 140 series has some decent options at various price points.

Well guys in the end I went to the store and after having a sit and bit of a pedal I went for the Cube 140 with 150mm/140mm Fox 36 Factory up front and rear respectively. I will pick it up Monday and give some feedback when I have ridden it for a bit. I paid full rrp but my work is paying...

I think in the end while you likely do have a point about it being too to have that extra safety net, that for me better climbing and rolling is more of an advantage for most of my riding than an extra 10-20mm of travel that I may rarely if ever use. 140/150mm is still nothing to sniff at and...

Well from my laymans knowledge of basic physics I would have thought the lighter the rider the less stress it must be on the suspension though... right? A lighter 70kg rider will cause less stress and impact on suspension than a 110kg rider?

Thanks for the feedback Elover. I have no fixed 'loops' and the only way I can demo is renting a bike for a day which won't be the bike I am buying. I really am looking for general opinions based on people's experiences. So basically your post seems to confirm that based on your own experience...

I am currently deciding between a 140mm and a 160mm EMTB, both fully kitted out with Fox Factory kashima everything. I live in Switzerland and want to do mainly XC tours and mountain trails, likely with some some non-crazy downhill, and am looking for a bike that will comfortably eat up the KM's...

Thanks a lot gpx I really appreciate your feedback. Now I think that the 140mm with 29'ers would be the best overall fit and I will speak to my LBS.

Ok so basically even on more rugged trails you don't feel that the 140 is pushing its limits with the Fox Factors kit?

Thanks for the feedback chap. Can you please explain to me: Why you prefer the 140 with 29" more than the 160 with 27.5"? If you ever worry about it bottoming out on more difficult trails or is that not a concern unless you are really hammering drops (which I likely won't)? The more I read the...

The 140 is a 29" though and I think that while that may be good for eating up miles, it's not so good for mountain areas with thin and tight areas as it will reduce the agility and nimbleness? Plus, the 160mm gives me a little more flexibility if things get really rough while still being fine...

Interesting and thanks for the info. Would be useful to know exactly what your height and weight are?

Hi guys. Following on form this thread here (Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 625 Action Team... great value for money? - EMTB Forums ) I am looking for a "do it all" (as far as can realistically be expected, of course) EMTB for the Swiss alps. I will be doing mostly XC and trail riding but it will...

I came here to say what I said with no intention to "offend" you (do you actually have any right or reason to be offended by my comment?). If you don't like that I am sorry but anyway... I hope you get your problem fixed and are back on the bike as soon as possible. :)
