Your opening post.... "dont know what to choose. I get trek rail 5(625w) 4500e and focus jam2 6.8 27.5" plus (bosch motor )4520e." Opologies. The "Focus jam 2 6.8 27.5" bit must have confused me.

I'd go trek simply because of the 29" wheels if there is not much else splitting them.

I'll post one later?

Nukeproof 35mm rise carbon bars and Cube 45mm, 35° riser stem to improve comfort on my knackered shoulders. Brooks B17 saddle to improve comfort on the other contact area. Both upgrades have made very noticeable improvements in comfort. I have a Superstar headset to fit also. The bike is a...

I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair Who are you? Who who who who.

1900 miles in all sorts of conditions, no problems?

+1 for Smart Sam's. My wife's hardtail emtb came with them (29 × 2.6). When we ride together her battery always lasts much better than mine. I have Nobby Nics on my bike and am a fair bit heavier though. They also seem to offer good grip when the trail gets muddy and steep.

To the guys who have replaced their headsets, how did you get on with the removal of the old cups, and did the new cups press in without trouble? I want to do the same on my 140 hpc but I am a little nervous about working with the carbon frame. Thanks in advance for any advice. Edit, just...

Me too X 2. Both mine and the wife's came unstuck. Luckily at home during washing. Any suggestions for a good glue to stick em back on with?

Thanks Kooly, it looks like the headset on your reaction is different to the set on my stereo, From the cube website my original is.... FSA Orbit Z 1.5B ZS, Top Zero-Stack 1 1/2" (OD 56mm), Bottom Zero-Stack 1 1/2" (OD 56mm)

I would also like to know what and where please, the only direct replacement for zs56/30 zs56/40 I have found so far are these...... https://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/uk-made-headset-complete.htm

Thanks for the replies, the duo looks great but is only 10° rise I believe. I'd prefer a little more than that to raise the bars a bit more without increasing reach. Occupational "wear and tear" on my shoulders make long rides on low bars a painful experience.

In the Lymington area, we do plenty of riding through your area. My last pic is between Newpark and Rhinefield. If our paths haven't crossed already they surely will...... if it ever stops raining:rolleyes:

I want to fit a stem with a bit of rise and this one looks to suit, it has the right dimensions, 35° rise 50mm reach, but I'm concerned about the depth of the steerer tube clamp. At 33mm it seems like a small area of stem/steerer tube contact. It is similar in dimensions to a DMR defy which gets...

I also had to apply more grease to the headsets of mine and my wife's Cube e-bikes from new. I would have replaced them with better ones but I was a bit nervous of removing the cups from my carbon frame so made do with lots of good quality grease.

Hey Pivot, whereabouts in the new forest are you?

The New Forest in lockdown mk2

Mine dropped off recently during a wash, I mentioned it to the wife who was washing her bike at the same time and hers fell off there and then. It looks like the decal is stuck on by some double sided sticky stuff that is not up to the job.
