Im using Pedal cover which comes to £18/ Month for my 3 bikes totalling £10K of value.

So my Cube turned back up yesterday! They actually replaced the whole frame including the rear triangle and pivot's, along with a new Dropper post! The fork it still the old one which is a shame, as it needs a service ;) So cannot complain with that, as it will mean all new bearings etc...

So typically i sent the supplier a shitty email Tuesday evening stating my dissatisfaction on how long its taken, and that i would be looking at a refund. Then First thing Wednesday morning, they have been told by Cube that its been repaired with a new front triangle (i assume this means the...

Well Cube are really taking their time with this, nearing on 8 weeks since i dropped it back to the dealer, and Cube still have not given a verdict! If i don't have any news next week i think it will be time for some serious words with the dealer/supplyer. Who to be fair have given me weekly...

So cube came back to the dealer, and want the bike shipped to them in Germany! so that they can investigate what has happened themselves! So another 2-3 weeks for this to happen :( Thinking of buying a second hand enduro non E-bike for the interim (may even keep it), as missing the mtb'ing!

So i took the bike back to the supplying dealer on Tuesday (6 hour round trip!), he had a look at the photo's and thinks it looks like the cup has been slipping causing wear - but not seen it before on these bikes. Said he will strip it down, take photo's and submit a warranty claim with cube...

Having spoken to a few motorsport peeps, they are pretty certain the head tube is de-laminating, causing weakness. Hence the sounds :eek: I wonder if the lower tube is flexing, this caused the wear on the steerer tube? Im very certain i didn't have a loose headset/tension. But if thats the...

Actually now i take a better photo with some light, you can see the left side is clear Carbon Fibre, where the right hand almost looks like it been ground down and some form of filler in there?? But its not perfectly smooth, there is a bump in the filler'y stuff. And the bearing cup only goes...

Yes, just seen that RSF show as doing them for £137.

Hmm, and even more worrying, the carbon that the lower bearing cup presses into looks a bit worn?....

So have been having some creaking/knocking sounding like its coming from the headset on my "21" Stereo 160. Re-greased and bearings seem ok, made no difference. Just taken it right apart and noticed where the plastic compression ring goes onto the steerer tube on the top bearing, its VERY...

So was getting some creaking from the head set area on my "22 Cube Stereo 160. I took the forks off, and the lower bearing was very much expired, so knocked the cup out of the carbon frame, fitted a new bearing and knocked the cup back in. I greased the cup with normal assembly grease. But...

So my experience with the speedbox 1.0 over the last month has not been perfect... Ive had a few freezes of the battery percentage while using it - which required a system restart, but had been working fine for around 300 miles. It transformed the bike. However then yesterday i decided to ride...

Well my front brake failure is not good news, just had things apart. Firstly noticed 1 piston would not retract, and wobbled a lot compared to the others, managed to get the piston out, and found the rear of the piston has crumbled! o_O Going by the state of the brake pad wear, i suspect its...

Thanks guys, just seen Merlin Cycles has a deal on with Shimano at the moment, so just ordered a M6100 Cassette for £69, and chain for £16 which seems a good deal. So may just get it fitted and get a nice smooth gear change back. May have to try the existing chain ring and see if its ok, as...

So having done 1500 miles in 6 months on my Cube Stereo 160, replaced 4 chains at 25%. I decided on the last change that it will be the last chain for the cassette, and will run it to death, then replace the chain/cassette/chain ring. Its now between 75% and 1.0% on my chain checker. Its...

So i have taken a punt and bought another speedbox, just gone for the standard 1.0 - less to go wrong. Im told speedbox updated the firmware in Feb this year that helps stop the detections. Its a shame once you have bought one, its not possible to update the firmware on the speedbox. Will be...

So got the Cube Stereo 160 out earlier for a quick ride, yes i couldn't be bothered to clean it last ride! And noticed something didn't look right at the bottom suspension bolt............:eek: My last ride i was flying down Cwmcarn, and if that bolt had come out i don't think it would have...

So i came off 2 weeks ago at FOD, going down Sheep Skull. It was very wet and slippery, my front wheel hit one of the large roots and instantly went down hard! It even moved the handle bars on the stem, so it no longer had straight steering! But also managed to badly twist my ankle. I...

I actually did a little test yesterday at 417 bike park with my cube stereo and 2 750 batteries. All day in turbo! (with all settings in the app set to the max!). And wanted to see how many run's i could get in. I managed 26 runs, 34 miles of riding and 9800ft of ascent! If my body allowed...
