    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    I don't really ride off road, I mainly do tracks / trails / lanes unlike most of you on here, but I really appreciate that information.

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    I have the 2023 Cube Stereo 160 Actionteam, and the update works on this bike. I have Auto and I have to say after riding it today on a lane / track ride with steep climbs, I don’t think I need Turbo anymore. It’s a superb mode for varied terrain. With the Auto mode being more power efficient...

    Bosch Flow / Strava will not Sync

    My Flow app completely lost sync with the bike over the weekend. I went on a ride on Friday and it recorded nothing. I tried everything to get it to sync (reboot phone, delete and reconnect bluetooth), but in the end I deleted Flow and reinstalled it. I went for a ride yesterday and I also used...

    Bosch performance line cx - feels like it’s holding me back.

    I tweaked ECO mode by pushing the power up to +3 in the Flow app and that sorted it.

    Cube Actionteam 160 special build

    I’m definitely going to look at the phone adapter. I also dug out an Ergon MTB seat and changed it over for the block of wood that came with the bike. Made a huge difference today, but still not convinced it’s the most comfortable out there, so that’s for the tip.

    Cube Actionteam 160 special build

    I just bought exactly the same bike - I got some orange coloured pedals and thought that was considered pimping it up a little...! Amazing components - your bike looks really good. ***Would you mind letting me know about why you changed any key components? I am not asking for everything (!)...

    Bosch Flow / Strava will not Sync

    Well all was syncing well, then I went for a blast this afternoon and its all gone south. The Flow app didn't pickup the start of my ride. I stopped for a coffee, switched off the bike for 15mins. Turned it on again. It then recorded the last half of the ride. When I got back, switched off the...

    4 days Old - 9 inches of Scratches

    I will seriously look into protecting certain parts of the frame. Luckily the Cube has a large plastic battery downtube coverand also plastic on a lot of other back parts of the frame, that I can't name as I am not that knowledgeable!

    South Devon / Dartmoor - Anyone Interested?

    I am new to eMTB but I would like to ride with anyone interested in any areas of South Devon or Dartmoor in particular? I am in Newton Abbot so easy access to both. Would love to learn more about riding on the moors.

    4 days Old - 9 inches of Scratches

    Yes thats good advice. I went to a paint shop, but I also went to my bike shop today. I explained I was getting some Cube paint and was told to use a matchstick to apply it, not a paint brush. Also to do it very carefully and in very small amounts, to build up / flood the paint into the scratches.

    Bosch Flow / Strava will not Sync

    I did a test ride and a trail ride yesterday and everything synced - I’ll monitor it and report back if I get the same outcome.

    Bosch Flow / Strava will not Sync

    Yes this worked a treat.. Everything is connected now. I think I must of had an older version of Strava on my phone. All the rides are still there since I bought the bike. Thanks so much.

    Bosch Flow / Strava will not Sync

    Yes that's fair enough. I am going to try syncing it all again, but I appreciate your notes and experience.

    Bike Bells 🔔🔔🔔

    I have had one on my old MTB for a long time. Wouldn’t be without it as I still ride urban. Blimey! That surprised me I have to say

    CARBOX Boot Liner - Any Users?

    I am trying to find an alternative to roof bars / tow bar bike rack and I have come across this company - CarBox My issue (unlike others) is that I don't have a garage or a loft to store bars / a Thule style bike rack. This looks like a good solution but I thought I would ask you what you...

    I just bought this one as it looked nothing like a bell and wasnt too expensive.

    Bike Bells 🔔🔔🔔

    Yep I am with you there. I have been riding my new Cube on trails with walkers and I have to 'keep apologising for having a bike without a bell' as my way of letting them know I am behind them. Never heard of a Timber Bell, will go and look it up right now.

    Bosch Flow / Strava will not Sync

    Yes, I go onto the phone and press the red button in the top right corner. Ends the ride, saves in Flow but doesn't sync to Strava
